Perodua and TM Team Up For New EV Development and Infrastructure

Perodua has entered into a strategic partnership with Telekom Malaysia (TM) to drive advancements in electric vehicle (EV) development, digital innovation, and sustainable growth.

Through its enterprise solutions arm, TM One, TM will enhance Perodua's infrastructure by providing advanced fixed and wireless connectivity solutions, including SD-WAN for dealer networks and private 5G technology for automotive applications. Additionally, smart manufacturing solutions will be implemented, leveraging TM One's Cloud, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, and AI capabilities to streamline operations, improve data management, and support future expansion.

On the consumer front, the collaboration will lead to the development of co-created products such as customized infotainment systems and smart mapping solutions. These innovations aim to enhance the in-car experience for Perodua customers. Furthermore, both companies plan to engage in joint digital marketing initiatives to reach new customer segments and expand their market presence.

TM and Perodua are also committed to developing clean energy solutions for EV charging infrastructure and implementing waste reduction initiatives. This commitment aligns with Malaysia's environmental goals and shows that both companies share intentions of a greener automotive industry.

"Our partnership with Perodua reflects our commitment to enabling digital transformation in the automotive industry, improving user experiences and long-term value. By delivering secure, high-speed connectivity and scalable digital solutions, this partnership will support Perodua's mission for greater innovation and growth, paving the way for a connected, sustainable future in the automotive industry." stated Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM's Group Chief Executive Officer.

Perodua's President and CEO, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, emphasized the potential impact of the collaboration: "This collaboration covers several aspects that will benefit our customers as well as having spillover effects to the country’s digital and automotive industries. There are vast opportunities for Perodua and TM to revolutionize how we do things and set benchmarks on the quality, efficiency, and delivery of our products and services."

In a related development, Perodua also partnered with Gentari last month to establish EV charging facilities, further emphasizing Perodua’s intentions and efforts in sustainability while also driving our country’s commitment to digitalization.
