Gentari Sdn Bhd, a forward-looking provider of clean energy solutions, has taken a significant step towards sustainable transportation by forging a partnership with BMW Group Malaysia. Through its subsidiary, Gentari Green Mobility Sdn Bhd, Gentari has formalized this collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BMW. The primary objective of this alliance is to explore innovative green mobility services and solutions, while also advancing the deployment of renewable energy technologies.
The collaboration between Gentari and BMW envisions an array of possibilities, including the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across diverse locations, including BMW dealerships. Moreover, the partnership aims to introduce various EV fleet solutions tailored to the Malaysian market, offering a seamless experience to EV users. These solutions encompass a spectrum of value-added services for BMW EV owners, ranging from charging subscription plans to cutting-edge concepts like electric forecourts, portable charging, and mobile charging services. Additionally, a joint initiative for renewable energy infrastructure deployment is also on the horizon.
Both Gentari and BMW are no strangers to advancing the EV ecosystem. Since its launch in June 2022, Gentari has rapidly expanded its green mobility network, having successfully deployed over 160 charging points in Malaysia and over 170 charging points in India. With a firm commitment to becoming the Asia Pacific region’s most esteemed clean energy solutions partner by 2030, Gentari is set to capture over 10% market share in charge points and Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) offerings across pivotal Asian markets.
Parallelly, BMW Group Malaysia has made remarkable strides in bolstering EV infrastructure. With over 1,000 charging facilities within its network, BMW collaborates with strategic partners like ChargEV, Yinson Greentech, JomCharge, Gentari, and others to provide widespread access to charging points. BMW i and MINI owners can benefit from over 100 charging facilities across authorized dealerships and partnering venues nationwide, with further expansion planned as part of a strategic infrastructure growth strategy for the upcoming year.
