JPJ speed limiter fitting for Kuching and Sarawak commercial fleets
Configure the speed limiter on your Kuching fleet to satisfy two sets of rules: JPJ's SLD requirements and CVLB Sarawak licensing. Borneo Post reported in October 2025 that CVLB Sarawak requires speed limiters on all commercial vehicles, with vehicles not yet fitted limited to one-year licence renewals.
Verified against the Motor Vehicles (SLD) Rules 2002, UN R89 aligned. Enforcement updates from BERNAMA, CVLB Sarawak speed limiter rule, and Puspakom-ready paperwork.
Sarawak rules
The Sarawak compliance chain, step by step
Commercial vehicles in Sarawak answer to federal JPJ rules on the road and to the state licensing board for their permit. Knowing the order saves a second trip.
CVLB Sarawak: all commercial vehicles must have speed limiters. Vehicles yet to install are limited to a one-year licence renewal.

LPKP / CVLB Sarawak
Commercial vehicle licensing
In Sarawak, commercial vehicle licensing sits with the state board, not APAD, which covers Peninsular Malaysia. CVLB Sarawak now expects a speed limiter on every commercial vehicle.
Pan Borneo Highway
Grade 1 gazettement
17 of 26 Pan Borneo Sarawak sectors are gazetted Grade 1, allowing 45 t on five-axle and 50 t on six-axle lorries. The other 9 are in process.

Kuching in context
Pan Borneo is almost finished, and heavier lorries are already on it
Phase 1 of the Pan Borneo Highway in Sarawak was 99.98% complete in December 2025, with the last 4.2 km section at Sibuti now due in the first quarter of 2029. On gazetted Grade 1 sectors, six-axle lorries can now run at 50 tonnes.
A longer, better road carrying heavier lorries is where a sealed 90 km/h cap earns its place. For fleets based in Kuching, that means every lorry heading out to Serian, Sri Aman and the towns beyond.

Long rural runs
Long legs between towns are where the 90 km/h cap matters most
On long rural stretches it is easy for a loaded lorry to creep above the limit. A sealed SLD holds it at 90 km/h without the driver having to watch the speedometer.
Timber, palm oil and industrial loads move along these routes too, and the same device and paperwork cover every one of those lorries.

Why Kuching fleet managers are fitting now
Borneo Post reported in October 2025 that commercial vehicles without speed limiters are limited to one-year CVLB Sarawak renewals. Fitting before your renewal date avoids that limit.
Check your renewal dates →The federal SLD rules apply in Sarawak like everywhere else. Post-2015 vehicles have been enforced since 1 October 2025, older vehicles since 1 January 2026, and only the Phase 3 retrofit date was postponed.
Ask for a fleet audit →Kuching inspections moved from Pending to the Kota Samarahan Industrial Estate on 1 August 2023. We prepare the SLD paperwork at fitting so the trip out there is a single visit.
Ask about the paperwork pack →Our installers work at yards in Pending, Batu Kawa, Kota Sentosa, Kota Samarahan and Serian, so lorries stay on the roster.
Book a yard visit →Resolute Dynamics designs the devices it installs, so every Kuching lorry gets the same configuration and one company is accountable for the seal.

Kuching and Sarawak SLD questions
Does CVLB Sarawak require speed limiters on commercial vehicles?
Borneo Post reported on 24 October 2025 that CVLB Sarawak requires speed limiters on all commercial vehicles, and that vehicles not yet fitted are limited to one-year licence renewals. Check the current condition for your permit class with CVLB Sarawak.
Where is Puspakom for Kuching fleets now?
Puspakom's Kuching branch at Pending closed on 27 July 2023. Inspections moved to the Kota Samarahan Industrial Estate from 1 August 2023.
Who licenses commercial vehicles in Sarawak, APAD or CVLB?
APAD licenses goods vehicles in Peninsular Malaysia only. In Sarawak, commercial vehicle licensing is handled by the state's own LPKP, known as CVLB Sarawak.
Do the heavier Grade 1 axle limits change the SLD rule?
No. Gazetted Grade 1 sectors allow 45 t on five-axle and 50 t on six-axle lorries, but the 90 km/h JPJ cap applies to the vehicle whatever its load limit.
When does JPJ enforcement apply to existing Kuching vehicles?
In Sarawak, as in the rest of Malaysia, post-2015 vehicles have been checked since 1 October 2025 and older vehicles since 1 January 2026. Only the Phase 3 retrofit date was postponed.
