THE Jinn Pinn Minn (JPM) Group and CETA Green Technologies Sdn Bhd have announced a project to develop Asean’s first electric vehicle (EV) battery testing facility in Malaysia, said CETA deputy chairman Chin Tzer Jinn.

Their aim is to place Malaysia at the forefront of the green technology boom with the hydrogen-powered testing, development and certification hub.

“The facility will take about 12 to 24 months of gestation period. The factory will have test chambers that can test the batteries from end to end.

“It will take about 12 to 15 months to bring in those chambers and we are currently in the end stage of our planning,” he said. – July 14, 2023.
