PRO-NET has recognised its first cohort of 37 Level 2 (L2) certified eMas technicians in collaboration with TVETMARA, at the inaugural eMas Technician Certification Ceremony held in Subang Jaya on 11 August 2026.

Through the eMas Technician Certification Programme, we are investing in our people, elevating aftersales standards and developing a future-ready workforce that will play a key role in supporting Malaysia's transition towards electrified mobility," said Zhang Qiang, Chief Executive Officer of PRO-NET.
