KUALA LUMPUR: CSH Alliance Bhd through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alliance EV Sdn Bhd (AEV) has been appointed by BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd as the distributor of its commercial electric van.

In a statement, CSH said the appointment by BYD was pursuant to the previous memorandum of understanding entered between both the company in March 2022 to jointly work together in the distribution of the commercial electric van, BYD T3 model.

The BYD T3 is a 100% electric compact van with low energy consumption and high performance. Powered by BYD’s proprietary NCM battery with a capacity of 50.3kWh, this silent-running vehicle produces zero emissions and features up to 300km driving range on a single charge. The vehicle has ample cargo space of up to 3.8m3 and a 780kg payload.

“Through the distribution and soon assembly of the fully electric commercial van, AEV aims to assist the Malaysia government to achieve zero-emission mission and also businesses in building Environmental, Sustainable and Governance (ESG) business approach.

“We expect a positive response from the transportation and logistics players in the adoption of electric vehicles to replace conventional fuel or gas vehicles which are harmful to the environment. Already, we have a committed customer who had expressed their intention to purchase 100 units of the electric van,” CSH Alliance executive director Peter Yap said.

As part of AEV’s strategic plan, the company also intends to build a completely knocked down (CKD) assembly plant or a fully assembly plant to reduce the EV vehicle cost and also to support the local businesses while creating job opportunities for Malaysians.

AEV also plans to develop the electric vehicle ecosystem which includes 4S (sales, services, spare parts and body and paint services), supplying charging stations, energy diversification into solar panels to provide an end-to-end electric vehicle solution for the consumers.
