Sweden and Malaysia are paving the way for a shift towards electromobility and sustainable transport systems, as a key measure for decarbonisation and to become carbon neutral in 2045 and 2050 respectively.

Carbon emissions from automobiles account for about 28% of the total emissions in Malaysia. To meet its emissions reductions targets as well as support the global effort to keep warming to under 1.5 C, it is crucial for Malaysia to rapidly transition away from fossil-powered vehicles to Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV) in both commercial and private sectors.

This event will bring together key stakeholders from the automotive, logistics, energy, fleet operator and governmental sectors in an initiative to share visions, identify common challenges, and discuss potential ways forward in enabling Malaysia’s ZEV transition.

Join us in this initiative supported by MGTC, Atlas Copco, Axis Communications, IKEA, Monitor ERP, Scania, Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks.
