Kuala Lumpur, 11 June 2025 – Yinson GreenTech and PLUS Malaysia Berhad (“PLUS”) through their respective subsidiaries Green EV Charge Sdn Bhd (“GEV”) and Terra PLUS Sdn Bhd (“Terra PLUS”), have signed a joint venture agreement to develop and operate Integrated Retail & Electrical Vehicle (“EV”) Charging Hubs (“Hubs”) at selected locations along the North-South Expressway (“NSE”). The first development will be at the Seremban Rest and Service Area (Southbound) (“Seremban RSA”), marking a significant milestone in transforming highways into future-ready destinations that meet the evolving needs of EV users.

Through the joint-venture, PLUS will lead the development and management of the Hub’s commercial retail and F&B components to elevate the overall user experience, whilst Yinson GreenTech will be responsible for the installation, operation, and management of EV chargers. These Hubs will boost the EV charging experience, differentiating from other EV charging infrastructure by offering a complete stopover experience – featuring reliable, DC fast chargers alongside a vibrant retail and F&B offerings for EV owners to enjoy while their vehicles charge.

The Hubs will accelerate Malaysia’s ambition of achieving net zero emissions target by 2050, as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap and playing an important role in strengthening the nation’s EV infrastructure, contributing towards a reliable corridor along key travel routes. The Seremban RSA EV Hub will be the first of such Hubs along the NSE and is expected to be ready by 2027. To date, 112 DC fast charging points have been energised on PLUS highways, exceeding its 2025 target.

Lim Chern Yuan, Yinson GreenTech Chief Executive Officer says, “We are delighted to be collaborating with PLUS to realise our shared goal of making EV chargers more easily accessible. The Hubs that we are developing aim to resolve the current challenges faced by EV drivers. With high speed and dependable chargers deployed at critical locations nationwide, we are helping alleviate range anxiety and remove the barrier to EV adoption. We are committed to advancing Malaysia’s green mobility ambitions.”

Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaffar, PLUS Managing Director added “This collaboration marks a strategic milestone in supporting the national Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint 2030 (“LCMB”) and our aspirations towards a sustainable and smart highway for enhanced travel experience for our highway customers.”

The Hub, which is the first of its kind in the nation, will be pioneered on PLUS’ highway. The hub serves beyond just providing EV charging facilities and represents a transformative step forward in integrating mobility and lifestyle services for their highway customers, setting new standards for rest and service areas.

These Hubs are also expected to support the growth of charging stations nationwide, aligning with the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry’s commitment of installing 10,000 EV charging points.
