Through TM One, its enterprise and government solutions arm, TM will upgrade Perodua’s infrastructure with fixed and wireless connectivity, including SD-WAN solutions for dealer networks, private 5G for automotive applications, and smart manufacturing technology to improve production. These upgrades will boost Perodua’s operations, improve data management, and support future growth. TM One will also use its expertise in cloud, cybersecurity, data analytics, and AI to provide innovative solutions for smart manufacturing, GPU services, EV technology, and autonomous driving.

In addition, TM and Perodua aim to expand their market reach and brand presence through co-created products and strategies. This includes custom infotainment systems, smart mapping tools, and digital marketing efforts to attract new customers. Both companies are also committed to environmental sustainability, working on clean energy solutions for EV charging stations and waste reduction to support Malaysia’s environmental goals. By investing in workforce training, research and development, and sustainable practices, the partnership hopes to drive innovation and create a digitally connected, eco-friendly automotive industry in Malaysia.
