A reader sent in this photo last night of two Renault Twizy and a Nissan Leaf parked near one of the iconic bridges in Putrajaya. Both of these cars are electric vehicles, and they are wearing decals with the logo of a company called COMOS.
A quick check with Malaysia’s domain registry reveals that comos.com.my was registered earlier this month. A quick visit to the website reveals a ‘coming soon’ page with the same COMOS logo as found on the car.
The comos.com.my domain was registered by CMS Consortium Sdn Bhd C/O NADI Manufacturing. We know of course that NADI is controlled by Proton’s ex-chairman Datuk Seri Nadzmi Salleh. The last piece of puzzle is this Facebook post, where Proton’s ex-MD Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin is mentioned.
Could COMOS be some kind of EV charging initiative or perhaps even an EV car sharing business started up by Proton’s ex-chairman and ex-MD?

Heard about this. It is a great initiative. It is actually started by this few group of general Malaysians (not Dato or Dato Sri whatever) goes by the name EMAL Mobiliti S/B. They are hiring people now..im sending my resume as well. Hehe. This company is gonna go big.
Renault Twizy is quite interesting urban car and plus 2 seater.
I think comos might be the company provide EV charger….
Well Paultan, when the FB page clearly mentioned you in their post, you probably know more than this, right? :D
Embargo probably..
just saw these cars parked at roadside at bangsar south yesterday lunch time and having some photographing session…
That’s just a single seater golf cart in a Renault badge
its has 2 seats….
Since both are EV cars, may be COMOS is a charging station/terminal provider…?
Yeah Amarjie. You’re right. They are gonna do something like Autolib’. This is a good market for Malaysia, hopefully. It will save a lot in sense of Ringgit and the environment. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOrtP3UHyF0
renault twizzy here in Malaysia? It would be a fantastic city car in Europe but here in KL with a hot climate all year round? Hmmm.. Not to mention that it doesnt have windows.
And in Europe it’s classified as a quadricycle.
An acquaintance from GreenTech Malaysia (www.greentechmalaysia.my) mentioned about their Electric Mobility initiative and I hope COMOS has something to do with that initiative.
I hope whatever they are revealing soon would indeed open more door to electric cars because I would love to purchase one!
COMOS was mentioned in slide no 29 in this link:
