The road transport department (JPJ) will commence pilot testing of the JPJ eBid mobile application tomorrow, it has announced in a statement. This is aimed making at the online number plate auction platform more robust and capable of tackling the limited accessibility of the existing JPJ eBid system, it said.
JPJ eBid users will be able to download the mobile application from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and the Huawei AppGallery for the applicable mobile devices and log in with their existing JPJ eBid accounts, JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said in the statement.
The JPJ eBid mobile app aims to offer a seamless navigation experience, a user-friendly interface to make the bidding process more accessible, and updating notifications to ensure that the user stays up to date with the latest information. A new menu will show upcoming number plates series (compared to the previous update method of e-mail notifications), and users may now personalise their profiles with images, and more effectively manage their bids.
Alongside the trial running of the mobile application, the existing JPJ eBid website (link here) will continue to be accessible by members of the public, the statement continued. To ensure that the JPJ eBid mobile app is able to provide effective service, the road transport department will be conducting online surveys through the application from tomorrow, February 18 via its users’ inbox in stages.
JPJ eBid commenced operations in pilot guise in April 2019, and the first number plate series to on online was the FC series for Putrajaya. More recently, the ANW and RBA series from Perak and Perlis respectively were announced for bidding; the ANW series will open for tender from February 20 for a period of five days, ending 10pm on February 24, while bidding for the RBA series closes tonight at 10pm.
