120 vehicles set for 630km Pahang expedition
A total of 120 vehicles will take part in Malayan Xpedition (MX) 2026, traversing a 630-kilometre (km) route that spans highways and challenging, unpaved logging tracks deep in the interior of Pahang.
The Malayan Xpedition (MX) 2026 will see 120 vehicles embark on a 630-kilometre journey through Pahang, encompassing both highways and challenging unpaved logging tracks. Organized by By The Billions (BTB), this six-day, five-night expedition has been fully booked and adheres to rigorous technical, safety, and route-management standards.
The expedition combines exploration, vehicle capability, and environmental responsibility. BTB has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Enggang Management Services (EMS) and Al-Sultan Abdullah Royal Tiger Reserve (ASARTR) to integrate conservation efforts into the convoy's logistics. This effort includes a Habitat Enrichment Project where 500 fig tree (Ficus sp.) saplings will be collected, transported, and planted in ASARTR's Central Nursery to support the growth of the endangered Malayan tiger.
Technical inspections are mandatory for all participating vehicles and field operations to ensure safe and responsible operation. The convoy will follow existing logging roads approved by the Jerantut District Forestry Department to minimize environmental degradation and habitat fragmentation.
