SCANIA MALAYSIA POWERS SUSTAINABILITY WITH 664 SOLAR PANELS AT BUKIT JELUTONG WORKSHOP
Shah Alam, 14 April 2025 – Scania Malaysia has reinforced our commitment to sustainability with the installation of 664 solar panels at our Bukit Jelutong workshop. This initiative is part of our continuous efforts to reduce carbon emissions and aligns with Scania’s Science Based Targets (SBT), which we are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions globally by 50% by 2025, based on 2015 levels.
With a total capacity of 381 kWp (DC) / 280 kWac (AC), the newly installed solar panels, activated on 7 March 2025, generated 44,800 kWh of clean energy in just one month. This has resulted in a carbon emission reduction of 26,800kg (26.8 metric tonnes), equivalent to planting 404 trees. Annually, Scania can potentially reduce up to 322,560kg (322.6 metric tonnes) of CO2, equivalent to planting 4,839 trees.
This allows Scania Malaysia to power our Bukit Jelutong facility with greener energy. Customer vehicles sent for repair and maintenance and other services at Bukit Jelutong workshop will be serviced using renewable electricity sources, showcasing Scania’s commitment to extending eco-friendly practices throughout our service offerings.
“Scania’s initiative aligns with the Twelfth Malaysia Plan 2021-2025 (Twelfth Plan) and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which emphasise scaling up renewable energy as a critical part of Malaysia’s transition strategy. Our solar panels reduce emissions from industrial energy use, supporting Malaysia’s net-zero aspirations by 2050. This demonstrates Scania’s commitment to being the leader in driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system,” said Joyce Antar, Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia.
