Diolko Logistics Malaysia, a sustainable last-mile delivery company, is leveraging existing urban transport systems, including the Rapid Kuala Lumpur rail network, for goods delivery.
This unique system integrates public transport and electric vehicles infrastructure to provide an end-to-end sustainable delivery solution that reduces carbon emissions and eases traffic congestion.
Yoann Gueguen, CEO and co-founder of Diolko stated during Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s site visit at Diolko’s Putra Heights LRT Station hub on Dec 12, 2024: “Our journey began in Klang Valley, leveraging its robust public transport infrastructure to develop an efficient and sustainable last-mile delivery solution.
“We are proud of the significant progress we’ve made, helping our customers achieve a collective 70% reduction in carbon emissions and enhancing operational efficiency, while alleviating urban congestion.”
Gueguen added: “Looking ahead, our aspiration is to expand to other cities in Malaysia and across Asean, bringing this innovative model to urban areas where it can transform efficiency and sustainability.”
Also present were Prasarana president and group chief executive officer Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, Diolko chief operating officer Onno Pfeiffer and Pride chairman Datuk Mohd Zarif Mohd Hashim.
Loke said transportation plays a vital role in people’s daily lives, but it is also a major contributor to carbon emissions.
“Supporting solutions like Diolko’s helps make the transportation sector more sustainable, while fostering innovation through public-private partnerships,” he said.
During the visit, Diolko showcased its innovative end-to-end delivery process, highlighting the use of specially designed proprietary trolleys that integrate seamlessly with urban rail systems for efficient goods transportation.
As the first solution of its kind in Southeast Asia, Diolko leverages existing urban infrastructure, such as public transport, to deliver eco-friendly and efficient services while addressing traffic congestion and carbon emission concerns.
Diolko conducted a pilot program, running from July 2024 to January 2025 in collaboration with Prasarana, to carry out its logistics procedure by integrating the Rapid KL rail systems at key stations, including Putra Heights (LRT Sri Petaling Line), Ara Damansara (LRT Kelana Jaya Line) and Awan Besar (Sri Petaling Line).
It plans to expand its services to 15 stations within Klang Valley by 2027.
The integration of virtual hub technology with electric vehicles enables the handling of large volumes of goods, reducing customers’ carbon footprints and meeting sustainability targets.
Currently, Diolko operates with a capacity of 2,500 parcels per month and plans to scale up to 75,000 parcels monthly within the next six months.
Its station setup is designed for seamless replication, allowing the company to expand to meet growing demand.
