The EEV class was announced in NAP 2014 where it classifies vehicle that meets carbon emissions and fuel consumption standards issued by the Malaysian Automotive Institute (MIA) across several categories. For motorcycles with engine sizes between 101cc and 150cc, EEV status is granted if its fuel consumption is less than 2.2 litres/100km.

Instead of just one model, Boon Siew Honda found that four of its cub models with said EEV standards. Included amongst the four are the EX5 Dream Fi, Honda Wave Alpha, Future Fi, as well as the Wave Dash Fi.

MODEL ENIGNE CAPACITY FUEL CONSUMPTION BASIC RETAIL PRICE (with GST)
EX5 Dream Fi 110cc 1.8 litres/100km RM4,716 – RM4,690
Wave Dash Fi 110cc 1.8 litres/100km RM5,670 – RM6,094
Future Fi 125cc 1.8 litres/100km RM6,073 – RM6,359
Wave Alpha 110cc 1.9 litres/100km RM4,292 – RM4,716

(Note: All modes except Wave Alpha are equipped with electronic fuel injection)

Boon Siew Honda were also keen to highlight that it has already produced a total 49,324 units of these four EEV-certified cub models combined between January and July this year. This sees them making up 83% of Boon Siew Honda’s total output within said period as well.

Having been awarded EEV status, Boon Siew Honda further noted that these four models will now feature Honda EEV wobblers on their front headlights when displayed in Honda dealers. This is meant to make them easily identifiable for customers when they walk in to any showroom or authorised dealer nationwide.
