KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas), Gentari Sdn Bhd, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS) will collaborate on sustainability and decarbonisation initiatives in the accelerated global energy transition.
The collaboration will see, among others, Gentari supporting the decarbonisation of Amazon’s India transportation network by working with third-party delivery service partners to further electrify their transport vehicles.
Amazon has committed to deploying 10,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in its India delivery fleet by 2025. The collaboration will also involve Gentari providing EVs and accompanying fleet management services for Amazon’s third-party delivery service partners.
Amazon intends to evaluate Petronas’ low-carbon and alternative fuel solutions for potential integration in diverse areas such as mobility, stationary power applications, and carbon management.
Petronas senior vice-president of project delivery and technology Datuk Bacho Pilong said the company believes this is vital to support Asia’s and the world’s transition towards cleaner energy.
“We invite like-minded partners to join forces in strengthening a sprawling innovation ecosystem that can address the many challenges along our journey to actualise a sustainable future together,” he said in a statement today.
AWS ASEAN managing director Conor McNamara said the company is deepening its collaboration with Petronas and Gentari to support its shared goals of building a more sustainable world through nurturing expertise and technology.
“Together with Petronas and Gentari, and with our upcoming AWS region in Malaysia, we look forward to supporting businesses and communities to advance their climate and digitalisation ambitions with the latest cloud technology and talent development,” he said. – Bernama
