This milestone comes at an important time as Malaysia’s passenger EV market continues to gain momentum while the commercial sector is starting to see rising opportunities for greater EV adoption. The market is at an inflection point and is ready for stronger collaboration between public and private sectors in presenting more practical solutions to help companies transition to electric.
To close this gap, Yinson GreenTech, through its drivEV business, offers EV leasing, charging infrastructure and digital fleet intelligence into one complete and seamless ecosystem designed to make electrification simpler, more practical and more commercially viable for businesses. With the addition of 300 Maxus eDeliver 5 electric vans, Yinson GreenTech will have a total fleet of nearly 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) by year-end.
The number of EVs Yinson GreenTech is placing on Malaysian roads is a testament to its e-mobility ecosystem that is reliable, expanding and ready for businesses to adopt and scale.
