KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is keen to work with any private sector party that wants to transition to electric mobility and at the same time, step up multi-ministerial engagements to flesh out Malaysia’s low-carbon mobility plans.

       Chief strategy and ventures officer Datuk Fazlur Rahman Zainuddin (pic) said the utility giant is prepared to lead the transition not only as an infrastructure provider but to drive a collaborative approach with a coalition of stakeholders to realise this important step towards decarbonisation.

       “It is important for Malaysia to start looking seriously into accelerating the transition into low-carbon mobility, especially battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

       “Electric vehicles and particularly BEVs have zero tailpipe emissions and hence, putting more BEVs on Malaysian roads in place of internal combustion engine vehicles will contribute significantly towards the reduction of our nation’s overall greenhouse gas emissions,” he said in his keynote address at the Energy sector round table engagement web seminar yesterday. — Bernama
