Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is committed to a rapid and responsible energy transition, aiming to electrify 30% of its operational fleet by 2030, exceeding 1,000 vehicles. This aligns with Malaysia’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
TNB is accelerating its shift to electric vehicles (EVs) by deploying 98 new units, including 78 electric pickup trucks and 20 electric vans, bringing the total number of EVs in their fleet to 127, according to Bernama.
This move contributes significantly to the government’s target of 20% EVs in total industry volume sales by 2030. The shift is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2,200 to 4,833 tonnes annually by 2030.
TNB anticipates substantial economic benefits, including cost savings of 35% to 86% on repair and maintenance, and 25% to 70% lower energy costs compared to conventional vehicles.
They are also focused on reskilling for the EV industry, building charging infrastructure, sponsoring EV-related studies, and expanding the EV charging network with more than 500 charging points in 2025 across Malaysia.
