[14 July 2022] Here at Beam, we're committed to supporting city councils’ environmental efforts, such as Malaysian city Shah Alam’s goal of achieving Low Carbon City status by 2030.

Beam has been a zero-emission transport partner of Shah Alam city since April 2021, one of the most populous cities in Malaysia, giving residents the much-needed solution to the first and last mile challenge of public transport use.

Implemented on the second Sunday of each month, the objective of Shah Alam Car-Free Day is to encourage residents of Shah Alam to adopt a healthy lifestyle and reduce the use of private vehicles. During the event, people are encouraged to walk or use the bicycles, skateboards, hoverboards, electric scooters and roller blades around the city centre.

We were thrilled to have participated in Shah Alam Car-Free Day in May 2022, promoting carbon emission reduction by encouraging the use of public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, walking, and more.
