19 Sep 2023

EPIC Solar Sdn Bhd (ESSB), a subsidiary of Eastern Pacific Industrial Corporation Berhad (EPIC Berhad), unveiled its collaborative innovation with University College TATI (UC TATI), namely the EPIC Solar Car (ESCAR), which aimed at promoting sustainable development by reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy. The vehicle is powered by solar energy and has no fuel usage, making it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional vehicles.

Initiated in November 2022 by a project team led by ESSB General Manager Encik Fuaad Mohamed Nawawi and UC TATI Senior Lecturer Prof Madya Ts. Dr. Ruzlaini Ghoni, ESCAR was first developed for operational uses at ESSB’s Solar Farm, with plans to expand its usage to the Kemaman Supply Base areas and potentially be used as a tourist vehicle. It is still undergoing researches to further elevate its current capacities and advanced features which include real time monitoring for battery and Global Positioning System (“GPS”) tracking.

Present to witness the launching ceremony were EPIC Group Chief Operating Officer Encik Muhtar Suhaili, ESSB Chairman YM Haji Tengku Amran Tengku Awang, ESSB Director Ustaz Hazri Jusoh, General Managers of EPIC Group and ESSB as well as UC TATI representatives.
