Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and DHL Express Malaysia (DHL) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will see them explore developments of a greener supply chain.
The agreement includes focusing on making DHL deliveries more environmentally friendly, and this will be achieved by introducing electric vehicles into its fleet. According to a press statement, the first batch of fully electric vans is expected to be rolled out within the first half of 2022. DHL has pledged for zero emissions logistics by 2050.
TNB, on the other hand, will install EV charging stations at DHL’s service centre in Kuala Lumpur, plus several more along selected delivery routes. The MoU will also see the two firms invest in energy-efficient equipment, building energy management systems, and rooftop solar panels. DHL is currently assessing TNB’s existing electricity supply chain and identifying opportunities for enhancement.
TNB president and CEO, Datuk Ir. Baharin Din said: “This collaboration leverages on TNB’s collective expertise in energy management, energy audit, and sustainable energy solutions towards a more sustainable future for the nation. As DHL grows its fleet of electric vehicles in the coming years, TNB aims to gradually build more EV charging stations at DHL’s facilities and their delivery routes.”
The MoU is part of Deutsche Post DHL Group’s widescale efforts to decarbonise the company, a move that will see it invest a total of seven billion euros (RM35 billion) over the next 10 years.
Meanwhile, TNB said it is planning to increase its generation of renewable energy capacity to 8,300 megawatts by 2025, up from the current rate of 3,402 megawatts. The company plans to expand the adoption of renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, biomass and biogas. As at March 31, 2021, TNB supplies electricity to approximately 10.1 million customers.

Syabas TNB! Plz install chargers at all YTL, Berjaya Group, Maxis ofis..
TNB electric come burning Arang Batu Coal, where got green? Pollution from TNB coal burning even more than ekzoz petrol engine. The disposal of end of life chemical battery material throw into river? Where GREEN come from? (Only Hydrogen is green). –> The right thing now is to convert all commercial lorry bus van to hydrogen fuel cell, and passenger vehicke go for hybrid and Hydrogen fuel cell.
98% of hydrogen worldwide is made of oil.
Malaysia should skip EV , divert to Hybrid & Hydrogen fuel cell.
Kenapa TNB tak buat dgn Pos Laju? Syarikat2 tempatan harus sapot sesama sendiri.
This deal seems like the best option to move our EV direction forward, going for public-private partnerships to setup and run EV infra. We are neither rich enough like Spore to sponsor setting EV using taxpayers monies nor advanced enough for private companies to come and setup them up on their own.
DHL actually has manufactured its own EV delivery vehicle.
It is called the STREETSCOOTER.
Does this mean that the STREETSCOOTER will be introduced to Malaysia?
Will the STREETSCOOTER be manufactured here? A few of the components of the STREETSCOOTER is already made in Malaysia.
Syabas Mesia ke arah EV technology!
DHL Streetscooter already closed shop back in Feb 2020.
Nope, the DHL Streetscooter is currently still in production. DHL simply didn’t find any other EV van that can replace the Streetscooters for now.

Our source of electric is from Fossil Energy and Coal, thus the amount of Co2, gases and carbons emitted is much higher than driving a petrol car.
Thus in longer term, EV is not a sustainable solution. As for now, it is a profitable plan for auto makers. Combustion engines are at a very mature level and performance, thus very little can be done to improve them. Only new tech can bring money in.
Now DHL will really be Dua Hari Lambat. Waiting to charge their vans halfway
The current Malaysian DHL problem, all parcels sent to KL to sort out.
Lets say you are from penang to send stuff in penang also, your parcel will be sent to KL and then from KL back to penang.
Waste of time, energy.
