Now ubiquitous on our roads, EVs symbolize a transformative change towards a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.

Recognizing the profound impact of this shift, OpenSys Technologies has strategically diversified into the renewable energy sector, aiming to play a pivotal role in Malaysia's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050”

"The government's revised target of 1,500 DC chargers, up from the initial 1,000 units outlined in the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) in 2021, underscores the growing demand for infrastructure for green transportation.

OpenSys Technologies is proud to work with UOB Malaysia to provide this facility for the convenience of the Bank's PV customers."

The Falcon ChargePro EV charging solutions and the buy solar online marketplace are designed to support corporations in achieving their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals while fostering sustainability in their operations.

The Falcon ChargePro specialises in delivering green EV charging solutions and services to enterprises, particularly those with large EV fleets. This initiative is powered entirely by renewable electricity through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which support renewable energy projects and reduce carbon emissions.

RECs enable corporate clients and consumers to verify and claim that their charging stations are powered exclusively by renewable energy, empowering them to actively support their sustainability goals.

What sets the Falcon ChargePro apart is its unparalleled ability to tailor solutions to meet the unique needs of corporate clients.

The Falcon ChargePro ensures a hassle-free process for corporate clients, managing all aspects of EV charger installation, management systems, site services, maintenance, and support.

This comprehensive approach allows companies to focus on their core business while benefiting from a seamless charging infrastructure. It also features Falcon ChargePay, a multi-function contactless card and QR payment terminal solution, developed by OpenSys Technologies, and meticulously designed specifically for EV chargers.

Additionally, the chargers can be customized to reflect a company's branding, offering a unique opportunity for businesses to enhance their corporate identity.

In this ambitious journey towards a greener future, OpenSys Technologies and UOB Malaysia are not just providing EV chargers; they are pioneering a sustainable movement, turning challenges into milestones, and driving meaningful change for future generations.
