A Strategic Alliance for the Future of Highway Infrastructure
In a defining move for Malaysia’s infrastructure evolution, AmBank (M) Berhad has pledged its support for EVCC™ PEDAS RSA, the country’s first privately owned, Platinum-rated Rest Service Area (RSA) designed to support the electric mobility transition along the PLUS Expressway. This strategic banking partnership provides the foundation for a bold new chapter in national infrastructure — one that blends commerce, climate-consciousness, and connectivity.
Developed under the Electric Vehicle Charging Corridor (EVCC™) initiative, EVCC™ PEDAS RSA is set to become a flagship node in Malaysia’s shift towards sustainable highway travel. AmBank’s involvement signals strong institutional confidence in the project’s potential to redefine the traditional rest stop model with a smart, scalable, and ESG-compliant solution.
Powering More Than Construction — Powering a Vision
AmBank’s role in supporting EVCC™ PEDAS RSA goes beyond conventional financing. It represents alignment with a bigger vision: a low-carbon, digitally enabled infrastructure ecosystem that meets the demands of the future. The partnership empowers the development of a destination that is not only functional — offering EV charging, curated F&B, and modern amenities — but also symbolic of a nationwide shift in how infrastructure is conceived and delivered.
With a circular building design, integrated EV supercharging stations, rainwater harvesting systems, and solar-ready facilities, the RSA is more than a place to rest — it’s a hub for sustainable movement.
Institutional Confidence in a Commercially Viable Model
By backing this development, AmBank is recognizing the soundness of EVCC™ PEDAS RSA’s business model. Anchored by high-performing tenants including McDonald’s Drive-Thru, Tealive, CBTL, to name a few , the RSA is structured to generate sustainable rental yields while delivering lifestyle experiences tailored for today’s highway users — from EV drivers to families and student travelers.
The project also benefits from a clear governance structure, milestone-linked drawdowns, and financial safeguards — reflecting a professional, transparent approach to infrastructure development. AmBank’s support validates these frameworks and positions EVCC™ as a model for public-private partnerships in the new mobility economy.
A Future-Ready Alliance
As Malaysia accelerates its drive towards electrification and ESG leadership, AmBank’s support for EVCC™ PEDAS RSA sets the tone for what responsible, visionary infrastructure financing should look like. It is a signal to the market — and to future highway projects — that private capital, when aligned with public interest and sustainability, can deliver lasting national value.
Together, AmBank and EVCC™ are not just building a rest stop. They’re shaping a new narrative for how Malaysians move, recharge, and thrive on the road.
