ROVR’s Community Relief Efforts 2021 – A Summary

21 fEBRUARY 2021

If you are familiar with ROVR, you know we offer Malaysia’s first mobile refuelling service to commercial customers (B2B) across multiple industries. Ever since its pilot in 2018, ROVR has delivered over 40 million litres of fuel! However, apart from fuel delivery, ROVR has also been involved in multiple relief efforts over the span of 2021 by ensuring undisrupted fuel services to individual consumers when they most need them.

Collaboration with IIUM During Campus Lockdown

In June 2021, ROVR collaborated with the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Student Union to provide mobile refuelling services to the students and staff during a campus lockdown. It was a preventive measure to stop the spread of Covid-19 among the campus community. With ROVR’s refuelling service, which was available during specific times in the week, the students and university staff were able to comfortably move within the campus to go about their daily routines.

ROVR Supports Flood Relief and EMCO In Affected Areas

ROVR has proven to be pivotal during the EMCO and flood crises in 2021. ROVR was mobilised during the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) in Kedah, so that everyday drivers were able to refuel their vehicles within their housing compounds. Similarly, ROVR also sent a 5,000L capacity truck and delivered diesel upon receiving an emergency request from Kementerian Alam Sekitar dan Air (KASA) and Jabatan Pengairan Dan Saliran Negeri Selangor (JPS) during the Sri Muda flooding, as the nearest petrol stations were out of commission due to floodwaters. ROVR delivered diesel to 20 units of generators for 10 units of temporary water pumps to keep the pumps running to remove stagnant floodwater.

Providing Easier Access to Fuel For Communities in East Malaysia

ROVR is also very aware of the struggles faced by rural communities in East Malaysia. There, communities staying further away from major towns sometimes must drive for nearly 45 minutes to an hour to reach their nearest petrol station. Because of this, ROVR has installed several Portable Container Storage (PCS) in Sabah and Sarawak, in collaboration with KPDNHEP. In Sarawak, the PCS are manned by locals such as from Persatuan Nelayan Pulau Bruit to empower them to manage this important source of fuel on their own for their community.

In Sabah, ROVR launched its first Mini Portable Container System (Mini PCS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) in Kampung Limbawang, Beaufort, Sabah. This is to provide the community with easier access to fuel as part of ROVR’s Rural Development Plan and the Ministry’s Community Drumming programme. With the installation of these portable refuelling options, communities in rural areas of both Sabah and Sarawak are now one step closer to increased refuelling convenience which will hopefully be of great help in economic areas of life.

While we continue to enhance our B2B service in 2022, ROVR also hopes to assist individual members of society wherever we can provide convenience. We will continue to engage in relief efforts and possible expand on our contribution to KPDNHEP’s Community Drumming programme in 2022, and we will keep you updated on this!

Our ROVR Crew will be making deliveries around the Klang Valley throughout the day. We will send you a text when they are on the way or you will be notified on the app. Once they find your vehicle, they'll fill up your gas tank! After the refuelling is complete, we'll then send you a receipt for the day along so you can be assured that your vehicle was in good hands.
