  • Charging Ahead: Vcharge Asia Sets New Standards with Enhanced EV Charging App

    Charging Ahead: Vcharge Asia Sets New Standards with Enhanced EV Charging App

    Kuala Lumpur, 5 October 2023 – Vcharge Asia, a leading e-mobility service provider from Malaysia, showcased its cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions at the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023. This unveiling sets the platform for an enhanced and sustainable EV charging experience, aiming to provide convenience and accessibility for EV users throughout Malaysia.

    A brand aligned under Ocean Vantage Holdings Bhd (KLSE:OVH), Vcharge Asia is dedicated to establishing an extensive network of EV charging infrastructure and digital services. The focus is on enhancing charging speed and efficiency of their Targeted 100 EV charging infrastructure across Malaysia, with a remarkable achievement of reducing the usual 3-hour charging time to just 30 minutes. This breakthrough represents a substantial over 80% increase in charging duration.

    “As Malaysia’s sustainability industry continues to flourish and gain momentum, the nation is more receptive towards sustainable transportation solutions. With our newly launched charging infrastructure, we are not just increasing charging speed; we are fundamentally reshaping the entire EV experience. We believe that the future of mobility should be fast, convenient, and sustainable. Together, we are expediting the transition to a cleaner, greener future — one where EVs play a pivotal role in transforming how we move and reducing our environmental footprint,” said Kenny Ronald Ngalin, Founder of Ocean Vantage Holdings. 

    Vcharge employs an innovative approach to charging infrastructure by strategically positioning its stations in municipal council-owned parking lots, specifically catering to busy office and commercial hubs, further increasing accessibility and engagement for users.

    Working on the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), the Vcharge platform is compatible with over 50 brands of EV charging equipment. Their network expansion includes both their in-house brand and the seamless integration of other charging equipment brands, reflecting their commitment to versatility and user accessibility.

    More than charging infrastructure, EV users can now digitally monitor and manage the entire charging process through its all-in-one platform. The Vcharge app allows users to effortlessly navigate their entire driving experience, from finding the nearest charging station and checking real-time charging point availability, to monitoring the charging progress remotely.

    Kenny further added “The core of the Vcharge app is to simplify every aspect of EV charging for a user-centric and hassle-free experience. Coupled with our strategic positioning of charging points within city limits to push the EV movement forward, we hope to continue complementing government initiatives to expand coverage along long-distance routes.”

    Vcharge Asia boasts an extensive portfolio of EV charging equipment from DC charging modules, portable DC chargers, and well-mounted AC chargers, among others. The brand’s bespoke solutions cater to diverse EV requirements, ranging from personal cars to public buses.

    Moving into 2024, Vcharge Asia is set to expand its impressive portfolio — leveraging on their expertise as solution providers, the brand’s next steps include initiating the installation of chargers in car parks managed by DBKL, Putrajaya, MBSJ, and MBPJ. Concurrently, in homage to their roots, installation of the same chargers will commence in Miri, and other cities in Sarawak.

  • IGEM 2023: Driving Innovation Towards a Net Zero Carbon Footprint

    The 14th International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM 2023) was officially launched today. It aims to achieve RM4 billion in business opportunities and attract 40,000 visitors from 40 countries. The event was inaugurated by YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah Haji Yusof, the Deputy Prime Minister, representing YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The ceremony was attended by cabinet ministers, ambassadors, international delegates, and other distinguished guests.

    Organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC) and co-organised by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), IGEM 2023, Southeast Asia leading trade event for green technologies and eco solutions, has an impressive track record of having delivered RM41 billion in business leads, over 530,000 visitors from over 112 countries since 2010.

    Referring to the Prime Minister’s speech YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof said, “Transitioning to a net-zero world calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, consume, and move about. A growing coalition of countries, cities, businesses, and other institutions are pledging to get to net-zero emissions. More than 70 countries have set a net-zero target.”

    “Without a doubt, IGEM 2023 plays a decisive leadership role in accelerating and delivering the region’s Net Zero and just energy transition agenda. There are enormous opportunities to steer us to sustainability while ensuring robust economic and social progress. Something that is exemplified in the Malaysia Madani way of life that my government is strongly advocating and adopting,” he added.

    During the opening ceremony, YAB Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof unveiled the much-awaited Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap, to unlock the prospect of harnessing a new energy carrier and the knock-on economic effects it would bring. Additionally, Leader Energy signed a strategic partnership with BASF Stationary Energy Storage GmbH, to promote the development of long-duration energy storage projects in Southeast Asia, having already identified 8 LDES projects with a total estimated value of RM1.8 billion.

    YAB also witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) among PMB Aluminium Sdn. Bhd., Sumitomo Corporation Asia & Oceania Pte. Ltd and Nandina Remanufacturing Pte. Ltd. to expand the use of raw materials derived from retiring aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters, aligning with their shared vision of growing the circular economy to drive sustainable manufacturing.

    Furthermore, during the opening ceremony, Tenaga Nasional Berhad unveiled the Malaysia Green Attribute Trading System, or mGATS, as a national marketplace for Malaysia Renewable Energy Certificates (mREC), as part of the Government’s efforts to further propel the RE sector.

    Delivering the welcoming remarks, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said, “Having had the opportunity yesterday to personally meet with some of the delegates, visit the exhibition floor and take part in some of the conference sessions, it is clear to me that IGEM’s role as one of ASEAN’s leading trade events for green tech and eco products remains as relevant today as it was when its doors first opened in 2010.”

    “The government’s energy transition intent under the National Energy Transition Roadmap augurs well with my Ministry’s current effort to decarbonise the power sector through accelerated deployment of RE capacity in our power installed capacity from the existing 25% to 70% in 2050,” he concluded.

    The exhibition floor is organised by the sub-themes of Empowering Cities, Electrifying Mobility, Decarbonising Energy, Accelerating Circularity and Conserving Biodiversity with leading corporations such as UOB, Cypark Resources Berhad, Polymateria Limited, Bio Eneco, Lenovo, Canadian Solar and Cradle Fund making a presence with their impressive booths. The exhibition also features pavilions for Austria and Canada.

    Some of the prominent Malaysian participants include the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and the state of Sabah, to name just a few. A key highlight of IGEM this year is the AtoZero ASEAN Summit which is co-located and runs concurrently with the event. Powered by Gentari, the Summit convenes the who’s who from across the net zero value chain, including key decision makers and changemakers to comprehensively explore pathways, policies and business opportunities to drive the global net zero transition agenda.

    IGEM is hosting several conferences on topics such as climate change, low-carbon cities, science and innovation, hydrogen economy, waste management, circular economy, water, energy efficiency and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

    IGEM is also featuring the much-in-demand business networking sessions organized by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and MGTC.

    During the three-day event, numerous Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) are being signed between Malaysian and international parties, reinforcing their commitment to collaborate in the race towards net zero.

  • LOGITECH’S WAVE KEYS: REDEFINING DESK COMFORT AND WELL-BEING.

    Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) introduces Wave Keys, a wireless ergonomic keyboard designed to prioritize comfort and well-being in office environments. With its distinctive wave-shaped design and compact layout, Wave Keys offers a more comfortable typing experience without the need to relearn typing techniques. Additionally, it features an integrated cushioned palm rest to provide sustained support throughout the day.

    As individuals of all ages spend more time in front of their computers, ergonomic needs are on the rise, with a growth rate of 4.6% over the next seven years, according to the recently published market report by RationalStat.

    “We believe that everybody deserves to feel good at the end of a day of work, so we set about designing workspace essentials that are as attractive and approachable as they are ergonomic,” said Art O’Gnimh, general manager of the Core Personal Workspace business at Logitech. “Wave Keys has workspace wellbeing at its heart, thanks to its science-driven design with a stamp of approval from leading ergonomists.”

    Wave Keys’ unique wave shape places hands, wrists, and forearms in a natural typing position, and the integrated cushioned palm rest gives more wrist support throughout the day. Its compact layout fits many home or office desks, with two classic colorways to complement your workspace setup: Graphite and off-white

    Wave Keys is designed in line with Logitech’s goal to create product experiences that improve people’s lives. This means considering environmental and social impacts as part of every design decision. Wave Keys is certified carbon neutral, just like the rest of Logitech products, and the paper packaging comes from FSCTM-certified forests and other controlled sources. The plastic parts in Wave Keys include certified post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-use plastic from old consumer electronics—61% graphite and 46% off-white.

    This multi-OS compatible keyboard connects via Bluetooth® or the included Logi BOLT receiver for enhanced security to up to three devices at once, such as a Mac, PC, and iPad, and easily switches between them at the tap of a button. For smoother days at the desk, users can personalize their experience with the Logi Options+ App to assign productivity shortcuts, such as “Do not disturb,” to remain focused in their work and create smart actions that save time and keep work flowing, including a one-touch morning routine to help you easily start your day and a relaxing time that provides well-deserved rest throughout the day.

    Wave Keys is the latest addition to Logitech’s ERGO Series, alongside Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse and other products for workplace wellbeing, and upholds the company’s human-centered and science-driven approach to product design and experiences.
