SPX Express Adopts EVs for Delivery

SPX Express Adopts Electric Vehicles for Klang Valley Deliveries

SPX Express (SPX), the logistics arm of Sea Group, has introduced 10 new electric delivery vehicles (EVs) to its fleet for operations across the Klang Valley. The vehicles, supplied by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Sunway Group and the sole distributor of Dongfeng commercial vehicles in Malaysia, are part of SPX's strategy to enhance operational efficiency and meet rising delivery demand. This initiative addresses the need for sustainable, cost-effective last-mile delivery solutions for Malaysian e-commerce and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Key Facts

What Are the Specifications of SPX Express’s New EVs?

The 10 electric vehicles deployed by SPX Express are designed for urban delivery operations, with a range of up to 200 km per charge and a payload capacity of 1,015 kg. Each vehicle offers 4.8 cubic metres of cargo space, sufficient for daily parcel volumes in the Klang Valley.

According to the launch event attended by Deputy Minister of Communications Teo Nie Ching, the vehicles are intended for daily parcel delivery operations throughout the Klang Valley. The 200 km range is positioned as suitable for urban delivery routes, while the cargo capacity allows SPX to transport appropriate parcel volumes for its daily needs.

"Each SPX Express EV can travel up to 200 km per charge and carry up to 1,015 kg of parcels, making it suitable for Klang Valley urban delivery routes."

How Does the EV Fleet Support SPX Express’s Operations?

The EV deployment is part of a broader logistics modernisation strategy that includes a RM63.2 million investment in automated sorting technology at the Bukit Raja Selatan sorting centre in 2025. This investment doubled the facility's processing capacity to over two million parcels per day.

SPX Express Malaysia head Cheah Lee Sun stated that the company's priority is to continue providing reliable and cost-effective delivery services, particularly for Malaysian SMEs. The EV fleet allows SPX to evaluate electric vehicle performance in real-world operational conditions, with data collected informing long-term fleet planning.

"SPX Express invested RM63.2 million in 2025 to double its Bukit Raja Selatan sorting centre capacity to over two million parcels per day, complementing the new EV fleet for integrated logistics."

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

This EV deployment primarily benefits Malaysian e-commerce merchants, SMEs, and consumers in the Klang Valley who rely on efficient parcel delivery services. The combination of automated sorting and electric last-mile delivery targets the growing demand for faster, more reliable logistics in Malaysia's most densely populated urban area.

For Malaysian SMEs, the operational cost savings from electric vehicles—compared to conventional fuel-powered vans—can potentially translate into more competitive delivery pricing. The 200 km range covers typical daily urban routes without requiring mid-day recharging, addressing the practical needs of high-volume delivery operations in tropical climates where air conditioning and parcel density affect vehicle performance.

"The SPX Express EV fleet is designed for Klang Valley SMEs and e-commerce merchants requiring reliable, cost-effective parcel delivery with reduced environmental impact."
