SRDAC-Hertz has also extended its IGEM partnership to the year 2030

Sime Darby Rent-A-Car (SDRAC), the exclusive franchise license holder for Hertz in Malaysia has presented four electric vehicles (EVs) to the Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP) for official use. This is part of a pioneering EV lease agreement inked between SDRAC-Hertz and MBIP during the recent International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023.

Leasing A Brighter Future

The lease agreement with MBIP is one of two green mobility initiatives by SDRAC-Hertz aimed at bolstering the adoption of EVs within the car rental space. The second green mobility initiative by SDRAC-Hertz is the extension of the company’s role as the official EV rental partner of IGEM until 2030.

The agreement between SDRAC-Hertz and MBIP marks a new milestone for both organisations. Under this historic deal, Hertz, facilitated by SDRAC, will lease four electric vehicles to MBIP for one year starting October 2023.

Best To Be First

Notably, this agreement makes Hertz the first car rental company in Malaysia to provide EV leasing services to a city council. MBIP, in turn, became the first city council in the country to leverage the benefits of EV leasing for its operational fleet.

Out of the four EVs leased, one is a Hyundai Ioniq 5 Plus, which will be used by Iskandar Puteri mayor Dato’ Haji Mohd Haffiz bin Haji Ahmad as his official vehicle. The remaining vehicles, three units of Hyundai Kona E-Max, will be assigned to council enforcers to execute their daily duties.

The Perks

Additionally, the leasing agreement comes complete with a comprehensive package, including unlimited mileage, replacement car availability, coverage for maintenance, wear and tear, insurance, road tax, and 24/7 roadside assistance support.

SDRAC-Hertz has also reinforced its commitment to eco-friendly initiatives by extending its role as the official EV rental partner for IGEM until 2030. This strategic partnership underscores SDRAC’s dedication to fostering sustainable practices and promoting green mobility solutions.

As the designated EV rental partner for IGEM, SDRAC-Hertz will provide attendees with unfettered access to its fleet of electric vehicles, making environmentally responsible transportation options readily available.
