Careplus Group Bhd, Masterclean Technologies Sdn Bhd's glove making unit, has inked a term sheet with GoAuto Group Sdn Bhd showing its intention in entering the EV industry. This JV would include both the manufacturing and retail sides of the automotive industry.
If this JV comes to fruition, the businesses will establish an EV production and assembly hub on a 74-acre tract of land held by Careplus in Chembong, Negeri Sembilan, to advance GoAuto's EV CKD (Completely Knocked Down) project.
