KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- Swift Bridge Technologies (MFG) Sdn. Bhd. (Swift Bridge Technologies) will advance Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing ecosystem through the localisation of EV charger production. This project involves a total investment of RM11.2 million over the next three years.

The collaboration was formalised during the Global Automotive & Technology Expo (GATE 2025) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), where Swift Bridge Technologies signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Ideal Property Group, ChargeSini, EV Plus, and SDEC Karuna. The MoU exchange was witnessed by Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer of MIDA and Mr. Azrul Reza Aziz, Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii).

Swift Bridge Technologies will establish full production lines for AC EV chargers (7kW– 22kW) and DC EV chargers (120kW–600kW). The company targets an annual output of 10,000 AC chargers by 2026 and 1,000 DC chargers by 2028, positioning itself as Malaysia’s first local manufacturer of certified EV chargers.

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA, stated, “MIDA welcomes Swift Bridge Technologies’ initiative to localise EV charger production in Malaysia, a significant step in strengthening our domestic EV infrastructure. This investment reflects growing confidence of industry players in Malaysia’s policy direction under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030, Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint, and Green Investment Strategy. Through such collaborations, we are advancing our national objectives to attract quality, technology-driven investments, deepen local supply chains, and create high-skilled employment that supports Malaysia’s transition towards a sustainable, high-value economy.”

Building Local Capacity
Swift Bridge Technologies is investing in human capital development to train over 200 skilled Malaysian talents within the next three years. This includes professionals for maintenance, commissioning, and field service roles as well as engineers and technicians in product design, process engineering, and assembly operations.

All EV chargers produced will be tested and certified by SIRIM QAS, ensuring compliance with international and Malaysian standards for safety, reliability, and performance.

Dato’ SK Chong, Executive Chairman of Swift Bridge Technologies, stated, “This collaboration with MIDA and SIRIM marks a major milestone for Malaysia’s EV industry. Swift Bridge Technologies is proud to be the first local manufacturer of certified EV chargers, fully developed and assembled in Malaysia. Together with our partners, we are creating jobs, developing talent, and strengthening our local supply chain under a proudly Malaysian brand.”
