Driving Sustainability: EVCC™ Pedas RSA (Provisional Platinum) and Shell (GBI Gold) Lead Malaysia’s Green Highway Revolution

Landmark Dual Recognition Along the PLUS Expressway Signals the Future of Roadside ESG Compliance

The landscape of Malaysian highway infrastructure is evolving—and EVCC™ Pedas RSA is leading the way. Strategically located at KM241 Southbound along the PLUS Expressway, this next-generation electric vehicle (EV) hub is redefining how rest stops integrate ESG values, energy innovation, and retail experience.

As the first RSA in Malaysia to be provisionally awarded a GreenRE Platinum rating, EVCC™ Pedas RSA stands at the forefront of sustainable highway development. Strengthening the site's green credentials, the Shell station at EVCC™ Pedas RSA has also achieved GBI Gold certification, marking a rare dual-recognition milestone in the country’s mobility infrastructure.

Setting the ESG Benchmark: EVCC™ Pedas RSA (Provisional Platinum)

Developed by LEVN Capital, the EVCC™ Pedas RSA main building has been provisionally awarded the GreenRE Platinum rating, pending final operational verification. This prestigious certification reflects a commitment to high-impact sustainability and long-term carbon reduction.

Key green features include:

• Solar-ready dome roof with passive ventilation and daylighting

• Rainwater harvesting systems to reduce municipal water use

• Low-emission building materials and native landscaping

• Design targeted to reduce operational energy use by >30%

This ESG-forward design is aligned with Malaysia’s national green agenda and opens access to sustainability-linked financing and carbon-conscious investors.

Shell @ EVCC™ Pedas RSA: GBI Gold Certification

Operating alongside EVCC™ is the Shell fuel station, which has secured a Gold Rating from the Green Building Index (GBI)—a strong indicator of Shell’s global commitment to responsible energy.

Notable Shell sustainability features:

• High-efficiency LED canopy and back-office lighting

• Water-saving fixtures and smart forecourt energy management

This GBI Gold rating places Shell among the leading fuel retailers in adopting green principles in highway operations.

Future Potential: Petronas Yet to Pursue Green Certification

While both EVCC™ and Shell have achieved third-party green certifications, the Petronas station at EVCC™ Pedas RSA has not yet obtained a formal green building rating. That said, the station was designed with infrastructure provisions—such as solar PV readiness and EV charger compatibility—that offer clear potential for future sustainability enhancements.

As Malaysia accelerates its ESG agenda, we remain optimistic that Petronas will take steps to formalise its green credentials in alignment with emerging stakeholder expectations and industry benchmarks.

A True EV Hub on the PLUS Expressway

EVCC™ Pedas RSA isn’t just a rest stop—it’s a scalable energy hub for the electric mobility era. Equipped with:

• A dedicated 11kV TNB SSU, supporting up to 4.8 MVA

• High-power DC fast chargers 

• Smart load-balancing and expansion capacity for future battery storage

The site is built not only to serve today’s drivers but to power tomorrow’s mobility needs.

ESG Meets Commercial Functionality

The rest area seamlessly integrates modern retail and ESG principles:

• Three drive-thru pods for high-efficiency F&B brands

• Mall-inspired food court with ample daylight and natural airflow

• Inclusive facilities: barrier-free restrooms, Surau, mother-care rooms

• Curated retail mix that supports both national chains and local entrepreneurs

Every component is crafted to extend dwell time, optimise energy usage, and enhance public engagement with sustainable design.
