Swift Bridge Technologies (MFG) Sdn Bhd is set to commence local production of certified electric vehicle (EV) chargers with a total investment of RM11.2 million over the next three years, making it Malaysia’s first domestic manufacturer of certified EV chargers.
In a joint statement today, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and Swift Bridge said the company will set up full production lines for AC chargers (7kW–22kW) and DC chargers (120kW–600kW), aiming to produce 10,000 AC units annually by 2026 and 1,000 DC units by 2028.
MIDA CEO Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid welcomed the initiative, describing it as a major step in strengthening Malaysia’s EV infrastructure. “This investment shows strong industry confidence in Malaysia’s policy direction under the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint, and Green Investment Strategy,” he said.
He added that the collaboration supports national goals to attract technology-driven investments, expand local supply chains, and create high-skilled jobs that contribute to Malaysia’s transition towards a sustainable, high-value economy.
Swift Bridge will also invest in human capital, training over 200 Malaysian workers in the next three years. This includes roles in maintenance, commissioning, and field services, as well as engineers and technicians for product design, process engineering, and assembly operations. All chargers produced will be tested and certified by SIRIM QAS to meet Malaysian and international safety, reliability, and performance standards.
Swift Bridge executive chairman Datuk SK Chong said the partnership with MIDA and SIRIM marks a significant milestone for the country’s EV sector. “We are proud to be Malaysia’s first local manufacturer of certified EV chargers, fully developed and assembled domestically. Together with our partners, we are creating jobs, nurturing talent, and strengthening local supply chains under a proudly Malaysian brand,” he added.
