In a statement today, PLUS announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Petronas Dagangan.

This partnership will witness the establishment of the first hybrid super station which is expected to set a new standard for highway services in Malaysia while offering greater comfort and options to road users, it said.

PLUS managing director Nik Airina Nik Jaffar said the project would facilitate the nation’s Low Carbon Mobility Development Blueprint.

“These hybrid stations will also enhance our mobility service facilities to improve the highway user experience while providing them with opportunities to engage in sustainable practices throughout their journeys,” she said.

Meanwhile, Petronas Dagangan managing director and CEO Azrul Osman Rani said each touch point of the upcoming hybrid super station, spanning over 30,000 sq ft, would be designed to cater to customer trends and needs.

The station will offer comprehensive mobility services, including large-scale petrol and diesel stations, as well as fast-charging stations for electric vehicle users, and aim to provide improved public amenities, he said.

On the whole, the stations will be developed with an emphasis on sustainability through energy-efficient building designs, the inclusion of green spaces, and the use of renewable energy sources.

They are also set to become new landmarks on the highways.
