In a groundbreaking partnership aimed at propelling Malaysia towards a more sustainable future, Sime Darby Beyond Auto Sdn Bhd and Scientex Berhad have joined forces to champion the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the country’s housing developments. Sime Darby Beyond Auto is teaming up with Scientex to spearhead the transition to eco-friendly practices in the nation.
Recognizing the burgeoning demand for electric vehicles within Malaysia, Sime Darby Beyond Auto has recently introduced the BYD Dolphin, a new hatchback model, at an attractive starting price of RM99,900. This strategic move underscores their unwavering commitment to offering a diverse range of EVs that cater to a wide spectrum of Malaysians, rendering sustainable mobility a tangible reality for a broader populace.
The remarkable success of Sime Darby Beyond Auto’s efforts in driving EV adoption is vividly demonstrated by the impressive 1,000 bookings secured within a mere 10 days of its December 8, 2022 launch. Bolstered by an extensive suite of aftersales services, encompassing customer care, state-of-the-art service centres, body and paint services, and efficient parts distribution, the company ensures a seamless ownership experience for EV owners. Moreover, Sime Darby Beyond Auto’s proactive approach is reflected in its appointment of 14 BYD dealers, with plans underway to establish a total of 21 dealerships, thereby bolstering EV adoption throughout Malaysia.
Complementing this initiative, Scientex is set to establish EV charging stations at select locations within its expansive housing developments across the nation. Leveraging its formidable presence in affordable housing townships, this strategic maneuver aims to catalyze increased EV adoption among both residents and visitors, nurturing a greener and more sustainable lifestyle within these thriving communities.
A pivotal milestone in the partnership’s evolution was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) cementing Sime Darby Beyond Auto and Scientex as preferred marketing campaign partners for Scientex’s highly anticipated Mori Residences 2 condominium project in Rawang, Selangor. This eagerly anticipated development exemplifies Scientex’s steadfast commitment to fostering sustainability and mobility, as it adheres to GreenRE criteria, featuring environmentally conscious design elements and conveniently accessible EV charging stations for residents.
The synergy between Sime Darby Beyond Auto and Scientex extends beyond their shared mission of driving widespread EV adoption; it encompasses the integration of EV charging infrastructure into affordable housing developments, paving the way for a cleaner and more environmentally responsible future for the nation. To inspire the public further, the collaborative duo will embark on awareness campaigns and offer enticing incentives, thereby democratizing access to both EVs and eco-friendly homes.
