Strategic Discussion on MARii RFQ Collaboration for BEV Written Instructional Material (WIM) & PTPK

Date: 9 July 2026
Location: Online Meeting

The MARii BEV WIM Collaboration brought together UTHM Education & Training (UET) and the EV team from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The online discussion focused on the MARii Request for Quotation (RFQ) and PTPK initiative for the development of Written Instructional Material (WIM) for Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

The session involved Ts. Dr. Abd Fathul Hakim Bin Zulkifli and Dr. Norirda Binti Mohamed from the Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (FTK), UTHM. Both parties exchanged ideas on the development of structured and industry-relevant learning materials.

MARii BEV WIM Collaboration

During the meeting, the team discussed key requirements for developing high-quality instructional materials. The proposed WIM aims to provide clear and structured learning content related to Battery Electric Vehicle technology.

In addition, the discussion highlighted the importance of aligning the learning materials with current industry requirements. This approach can help ensure that the content remains relevant to the skills and competencies needed in the EV sector.

The team also considered national skills standards when discussing the development process. As a result, the proposed materials can support more consistent and effective technical training.

Supporting BEV Skills Development

Furthermore, the discussion explored how suitable instructional materials can strengthen talent development in the electric vehicle industry. Well-developed learning resources can help participants understand technical concepts and gain skills that meet workforce needs.

The collaboration also supports efforts to connect academic expertise with industry requirements. Through this approach, UET and UTHM experts can contribute to the development of practical training resources for future programmes.

The MARii BEV WIM Collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Malaysia’s electric vehicle ecosystem. It also supports the development of a future-ready workforce with relevant technical knowledge and competencies.

Strengthening Industry-Driven Training

Moving forward, UET aims to continue supporting strategic initiatives that connect education, skills development and industry needs. Collaboration with academic experts and industry partners can help strengthen the quality of technical training programmes.

Moreover, the development of quality WIM can provide a strong foundation for effective teaching and learning. These materials can also support consistent programme delivery and improve participants’ learning experience.

Through strategic collaboration, UET remains committed to supporting talent development and contributing to the growth of Malaysia’s EV industry.
