Auto Bavaria, Affin Group join forces to expand EV charging infrastructure

Auto Bavaria has announced a strategic collaboration with Affin Group to enhance electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the country.

This partnership aligns with both organisations’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals aimed at fostering more responsible mobility solutions.

Through this collaboration, Auto Bavaria, the authorised dealer for BMW, is set to accelerate the availability and accessibility of EV charging facilities across the region.

The company’s efforts began with the installation of seven AC charging units and one DC charging unit at the EV charging station at Menara Affin in Tun Razak Exchange, which serves as Malaysia’s International Financial Centre.

Vi Thim Juan, Managing Director of Auto Bavaria, stated, “This partnership with Affin underscores our dedication to enhancing EV infrastructure development and supporting Malaysia’s shift towards a low-carbon economy.

“Together, we are empowering drivers to make responsible mobility choices and contribute to a lower carbon footprint in their automotive ownership needs.”

Datuk Wan Razly Abdullah, President & Chief Executive Officer of Affin Bank Berhad, added, “Our collaboration reaffirms Affin’s unwavering commitment to our ESG agenda, creating a positive impact for the future while providing a seamless and convenient customer experience.

“This initiative aligns with the ‘Unrivalled Customer Service’ and ‘Responsible Banking with Impact’ pillars of our AX28 Strategic Plan,” he said.

Wan Razly further stated that customers can explore Affin’s range of EV offers, including tailored financing options designed to simplify the purchase journey and enhance affordability.
