During a recent KL Car-Free Morning held at Dataran DBKL, an impressive gathering of 2,000 participants participated in a 7km closed-road morning run. The event coincided with World Earth Day, adding to the sense of purpose and community engagement.
smart, a brand known for its commitment to innovation and sustainability, played a pivotal role as a key supporter of this initiative. The spotlight was on the smart #1 and #3, both stylishly designed by Mercedes-Benz and built on Geely’s Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA). By showcasing these electric vehicles, smart reaffirmed its dedication to promoting sustainable urban living.
The collaboration between smart Malaysia and the Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) through the KL Car-Free Morning Programme reflects ongoing efforts to enhance urban mobility. As the first EV car brand to endorse this initiative, Smart is at the forefront of transforming congested streets into vibrant, car-free zones. This transformation invites communities to reimagine their daily commutes and embrace healthier lifestyles.
The positive impact extends beyond the local community. Expats and tourists seeking sustainable travel options also resonate with this initiative. By prioritizing eco-friendly transportation, KL Car-Free Morning contributes to a greener, healthier city.
During the flag-off ceremony, distinguished guests—including Mohamed Fauzi bin Ahmad, Izwan Razif bin Salehaped, En. Naquib bin Hamdan, and others—joined the celebration. Their presence underscored the significance of this movement.
As part of its commitment, smart distributed plants for adoption to the runners. This symbolic gesture not only reinforces smart’s dedication to green initiatives but also fosters a deeper connection between individuals and their environment. It’s a step toward a more sustainable future—one where car-free mornings become a norm, promoting healthier lives and a cleaner planet.
