Black & Veatch to help drive SCG International's electric vehicle transition in Thailand

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 -- A global leader in decarbonisation solutions and zero-emission transportation infrastructure, Black & Veatch has been selected technical expert in SCG International Corp Co’s effort to electrify its transportation fleets. 

More broadly, the project seeks to be a blueprint for sweeping EV adoption and infrastructure throughout Thailand and other markets that SCG serves, according to a statement.

“Having helped several others make the transformative transition of their fleets to electrified vehicles, Black & Veatch embraces the opportunity to provide SCG International with our executable EV expertise, helping them do the same as they pursue their forward-looking decarbonisation quest,” said Black & Veatch’s Global Strategic Advisory practice lead, Deepa Poduval.

Meanwhile, SCG International’s managing director, Abhijit Datta said that company was fully committed to advancing SCG Group's decarbonisation objectives, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net-zero transition by 2050.

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has awarded a grant to SCG International to study to the best path for accelerating EV adoption at hundreds of sites across SCG’s portfolio of business, including cement. 

Black & Veatch will be a critical partner on the project, providing a strategic roadmap for SCG’s decarbonisation of its transportation fleet.

The grant will also cover designing pilot projects at three identified sites for SCG International to test viability of electrifying its substantial fleet of logistics vehicles, as well as its ready-mix concrete trucks and explore establishing infrastructure for EV taxis in Bangkok.

The project advances the goals of USTDA’s ‘Global Partnership for Climate-Smart Infrastructure’, which connects U.S. industry to major clean energy and transportation infrastructure projects in emerging markets.
