Malakoff, New Energy to develop EV charging infrastructure
KUALA LUMPUR: Malakoff Corp Bhd's unit Malakoff Radiance Sdn Bhd has teamed up with New Energy Asia Sdn Bhd to jointly deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
New Energy Asia, a joint venture between Hicom Engineering and Hangzhou Flash Charge, is currently exploring a partnership with Malakoff Radiance to support Malaysia's transition to clean mobility.
Malakoff said in a statement that the partnership aims to develop integrated solar and EV charging solutions to support carbon-free mobility, share technical expertise and resources for effective implementation and explore business opportunities across Asean.
The collaboration focused on integrating advanced EV charging solutions with Malakoff's solar infrastructure, where both parties aim to leverage their respective expertise to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions across the country.
Malakoff managing director and group chief executive officer Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib saiinitiative d the reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen renewable energy (RE) portfolio through partnerships that drive real-world outcomes.
Anwar Syahrin said the company recently secured its largest single-site deployment to date involving a 4.22 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar power purchase agreement with Hicom Automotive Manufacturers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
He said the new agremment built on the success of a 2.0 MWp installation at the same facility in Pekan, which has already reduced grid electricity usage by around 7.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh) and avoided nearly 5,489 tCO₂e in emissions.
"We see this collaboration with New Energy Asia as a natural extension of that momentum, enabling us to integrate clean mobility solutions alongside our solar infrastructure and deliver greater value across the clean energy ecosystem," he added.
