KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 5): S P Setia Bhd (KL:SPSETIA) and clean energy solutions provider Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore a collaboration in clean energy and green mobility solutions, according to a press statement issued on Monday.

Gentari Green Mobility is a subsidiary of Gentari Sdn Bhd, which is wholly owned by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS).

Under the MOU, the parties will discuss opportunities relating to the identification, feasibility assessment, installation, operation and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities at identified S P Setia sites.

The collaboration also contemplates joint efforts to promote EV adoption, improve visibility and access to EV charging infrastructure, and explore future business collaboration in clean energy and green mobility solutions across the group.

S P Setia chief executive officer Datuk Zaini Yusoff said: “Making EV charging more accessible within our townships is a practical step towards accelerating the shift to greener mobility, helping reduce reliance on petrol, lower vehicle emissions and support Malaysia’s transition towards a lower-carbon future. It also strengthens the value proposition of our existing developments by enhancing everyday convenience, amenities and liveability for the communities that already call Setia home."

Gentari chief green mobility officer Fadzrul Ahmad said: "Through our collaboration with Setia, we are exploring how charging infrastructure can be integrated into thriving communities across Setia's townships and developments, making EV adoption more practical and convenient for residents and visitors while supporting Malaysia's transition towards a lower-carbon future".
