GoCar And drivEV Launch Electric Car Sharing In Johor Bahru

GoCar Malaysia and Yinson GreenTech’s drivEV has started a partnership to expand its electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing initiative in Johor Bahru, offering eco-friendly transportation options to residents and visitors. For a start, this collaboration introduces the availability of the GAC Aion Y Plus and GWM Ora Good Cat EVs for booking at strategic locations such as Toppen Shopping Centre. 

Zero Emission Mobility For Johor Bahru

This initiative supports the growing demand for zero-emission mobility in southern Malaysia, enabling Johor Bahru residents as well as visitors from Singapore to opt for a more sustainable form of travel. Bolstering this collaboration is GoCar’s partnership with Handal Indah Sdn Bhd (HISB), a subsidiary of HI Mobility Berhad, to provide seamless travel connections via electric Causeway Link buses. Visitors from Singapore can now enjoy a convenient transition from bus drop-off points to EV rentals within Johor Bahru, at Toppen Shopping Centre as well as other strategic locations near the major drop-off points.GoCar_drivEV_Electric Car Sharing_Toppen Shopping Centre_Johor Bahru_Causeway Link_Electric Bus_EV_Yinson

By expanding this initiative to Johor Bahru, in collaboration with drivEV, we are taking another significant step toward reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainable travel. This launch not only supports Johor Bahru residents but also offers Singaporean visitors an eco-friendly way to explore the city, reinforcing our commitment to making zero-emissions mobility accessible to everyone, everywhere,” said Wong Hoe Mun, CEO of GoCar Malaysia.
