Scan Global Logistics (SGL) launched the first electric cross-border truck in Asia as part of its zero-emission partnership with HTH Corporation.
Leading the Charge: SGL and HTH Corporation Drive Sustainability in Asian Logistics
This initiative marks a significant step towards a more sustainable logistics industry by reducing CO2 emissions on one of the region’s busiest trade routes.
As the first freight forwarder in Asia to introduce a 100-per cent zero-emission electric vehicle (EV) service between Malaysia and Singapore, SGL is paving the way for greener logistics. The electric truck operates on a designated lane between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur via Johor, providing cross-border full truckload (FTL) and less than truckload (LTL) services. At a later stage, the route would extend to Penang. This service is expected to save nearly one tonne of CO2 per shipment, significantly contributing to the decarbonisation of a key trade route in Asia.
Rickard Ingvarsson, CEO Asia, SGL, emphasised the strategic importance of this collaboration, which brought the electric truck from concept to launch in just two months: “This initiative highlights our shared commitment to fostering sustainable logistics solutions to support our customers in significantly reducing the carbon footprint on one of the region’s busiest trade routes. Driving sustainability through partnerships is something close to our heart and this collaboration is a testament to what could be achieved when like-minded companies unite on a common goal….”
