Ygt Provides 143 E-vans To Pos Malaysia Towards Electrifying Postal Operations

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18, (Bernama) -- Yinson GreenTech (YGT) will provide 143 commercial smart electric vans (e-vans) to Pos Malaysia Bhd to electrify the national postal services in line with the postal provider’s sustainability goals.

In a statement today, YGT, the green technologies business unit of Yinson Holdings Bhd, said this comprehensive all-in-one electric vehicle (EV) leasing solution is the first of its kind offered in the country without providing additional details on the leasing agreement.

Its senior vice-president of business development, Srinivas Tati, said a total of 143 e-vans will be gradually deployed, with 20 units in October, 60 units in November and 63 units in December.

“YGT, through its EV leasing business, drivEV, will supply CAM EC35 e-vans integrated with smart EV telematics software for Pos Malaysia to deliver the ‘clean and green smile in the last mile’. 

“YGT is passionate about helping commercial and industrial customers to achieve their net zero ambitions. In line with this, we are honoured to be working with Pos Malaysia, contributing to their sustainability goal of halving Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030,” he told the media at the Yinson GreenTech & Pos Malaysia Electric Mobility Vans Launch Ceremony here today.

Srivinas added that starting first with the rollout of chargEV charging stations at Pos Malaysia outlets earlier this year, YGT is now supporting the rapid electrification of their four-wheeler fleet and hopes that this will pave the way for more corporates to realise their decarbonisation commitments.

He said YGT will also equip Pos Malaysia depots nationwide with fleet charging solutions and oversee the leased fleet and EV chargers’ technical support and maintenance services.

Meanwhile, Pos Malaysia group chief executive officer Charles Brewer said the initiative with YGT is also focused on fleet electrification and harnessing digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability.

“This initiative is one of six sustainability initiatives and underpins our commitment to be net-zero by 2050 and reflects our purpose statement of being passionate about building trust to connect lives and businesses for a better tomorrow,” he said.

He said Post Malaysia aimed to fully transition their last-mile vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric ones by 2030.

Brewer also highlighted Pos Malaysia’s sustainability roadmap, launched in early 2023, outlining the postal service operator’s plans to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
