Besides providing connectivity, Maxis will also explore innovative digital solutions with both parties to accelerate the application of new technologies within the EV ecosystem. Maxis will develop an ESG dashboard to help Blueshark customers measure and analyse their carbon footprint through their electric scooters.

The proposed dashboard will leverage on Maxis’ end-to-end capabilities spanning cloud, data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT). Maxis’ 4G and 5G solutions will provide Blueshark’s fleet with essential connectivity while ensuring secure and reliable data collection for the dashboard with full API integration. It will also provide connectivity to Blueshark’s battery swap stations across Malaysia to help them analyse and manage their battery inventory.

Blueshark Ecosystem Sdn Bhd’s Group COO (ASEAN) Jin Chan said, “Blueshark’s edge is in our app-to-bike connectivity and with constant two-way data flows, our customers can monitor and track their vehicle stats in real-time, seamlessly and instantly. This means that our app needs to be always connected and lag-free to provide riders with an always-on experience. Thanks to Maxis, we are now able to power up our robust connected ecosystem and IoV (Internet of Vehicles) solutions to their full potential for the benefit of our riders.”

Maxis’ Chief Enterprise Business Officer Prateek Pashine said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Blueshark and EVC, well-known names within the EV sector. As a leading integrated telco, we have the right capabilities to meet the needs of smart mobility businesses end-to-end.
