This was possible through the collaboration between Grab with ecosystem partners BYD Sime Motors, Yinson GreenTech, and Power-Up Tech (P.UP). The purpose of this initiative is to promote EV adoption and to contribute to Malaysia’s Green Economy said the company in a statement.

Additionally, Director of Country Operations and Mobility, Grab Malaysia, Rashid Shukor stated that by prioritising high-demand and high-visibility routes such as KLIA, the company aims to showcase the practicality and comfort of EVs while increasing consumer awareness. “This supports our broader goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040, “ he added.
