TNB targets 30% conversion of operational fleet into electric by 2030

It has planned to target 1,000 EVs, for its commitment to sustainable mobility.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has committed to accelerating its operational electric fleet to 30% by 2030 as part of its extensive strategy for carbon reduction.

With a target of over 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs), the plan aligns with Malaysia’s ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable mobility by 2050.

Additionally, TNB has also planned to deploy 98 new units, including 78 electric pickup trucks and 20 electric vans, bringing the total EV number of its fleet to 127. The plan aligns with the Malaysian Government’s target of 20% EVs in total industry volume sales by 2030.

The transition to EVs is estimated to lead to a yearly reduction of 2,200 to 4,833 tonnes of CO2, an equivalent to approximately 88,000 to 193,320 trees as an offset. Additionally, the plan can lead to significant cost reductions, with savings of 35%-86% on maintenance and 25%-70% on energy.

“TNB is not only dedicated to accelerating EV adoption by 2030 but also focuses on reskilling for the EV industry, building charging infrastructure, sponsoring EV-related studies, and fostering coalitions among EV sector players,” Dato' Seri Ir. Baharin Din, President and CEO of TNB, said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
