Basic differences
- Lesen Pengendali concerns the operator’s authorisation.
- Permit Kenderaan concerns an approved vehicle under that operation.
- Pembawa A generally covers goods for hire or reward.
- Pembawa C generally covers own goods.

De-Controlled goods vehicles not exceeding 7,500kg BDM
Under MOT guidance issued in 2026, goods vehicles not exceeding 7,500kg BDM are categorised as De-Controlled. They may carry the owner’s or company’s own business goods without an APAD operator permit; carrying third-party goods for hire or reward requires further review of Pembawa A requirements. Vehicle, road-safety, driving-licence and other legal requirements still apply. The Geran, body type, goods ownership and actual use must still be checked.
