Mr Lukas Sebastian, CEO of OpenSys Technologies said: “As companies and consumers alike increasingly focus on sustainability(1)the shift to electric vehicles has gained remarkable momentum. Electric vehicles, now ubiquitous on our roads, symbolize a transformative shift towards a greener, more sustainable future. Recognizing the profound impact of this shift, OpenSys Technologies has strategically diversified into the renewable energy sector, aiming to play a central role in Malaysia’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
“The government’s revised target of 1,500 DC chargers, up from the initial 1,000 units envisaged in the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) in 2021, highlights the growing demand for green transportation infrastructure. OpenSys Technologies is proud to partner with UOB Malaysia to provide this facility for the convenience of the bank’s PV customers.”
Through strategic partnerships and innovative technologies, OpenSys Technologies is at the forefront of providing environmentally friendly products and services geared towards a sustainable future.

Falcon ChargePro specialises in providing green charging solutions and services to businesses, particularly those with large electric vehicle fleets. This initiative is powered entirely by renewable energy generated through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that support renewable energy projects and reduce carbon emissions. RECs allow corporate customers and consumers to prove and claim that their charging stations are powered exclusively by renewable energy, actively supporting their sustainability goals.
What sets the Falcon ChargePro apart is its unparalleled ability to develop bespoke solutions to meet the individual needs of corporate customers. The Falcon ChargePro ensures a smooth operation for corporate customers, managing all aspects of EV charger installation, management systems, site services, maintenance and support, among others. This comprehensive approach allows companies to focus on their core business while benefiting from a seamless charging infrastructure. It also features Falcon ChargePay, a multifunctional contactless card and QR payment terminal solution developed by OpenSys Technologies and specifically designed for EV chargers. In addition, the chargers can be customised to reflect a company’s branding, giving companies a unique opportunity to strengthen their corporate identity.
On this ambitious journey towards a greener future, OpenSys Technologies and UOB Malaysia are not only providing electric vehicle chargers; they are also leading a sustainable movement, turning challenges into milestones and driving meaningful change for generations to come.
