World Cup Is A Big Business Globally, the average proportion of those intending to watch the 2022 World Cup in Qatar competition is higher among males (66%) than it is among females (45%). Business NewsNews Admin In line with Malaysia’s aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the introduction of the YT200EV, is poised to address growing carbon emissions concerns within the logistics and freighting industry. In 2021, CO2 emissions from Malaysia’s transportation stood at 55 metric tons whilst globally the transport and logistics sector contributes around 24% of global CO2 emissions. By replacing an existing terminal tractor with an electric Terberg, approximately 30 tonnes of CO2 will be saved per vehicle per year – this is the equivalent of planting over 1 million trees or taking more than 6,000 cars off the road. Chief Executive Officer of Terberg Tractors Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Mr Boo Wei Ching says at the launch, “We are proud to present Malaysia’s first fully battery-powered electric terminal tractor that is in accordance with ESG frameworks. As one of the leading terminal tractors manufacturers supervising the supply chain of the entire APAC region independently from Malaysia, Terberg is confident that this new addition to the industry is a huge step to compliment the green aspirations roadmap with emphasis in replacing common industry practice with sustainable practices.
