SoCar Malaysia introduces Trevo, its “Airbnb” platform for cars

Car sharing provider, SoCar Malaysia has just introduced a new peer-to-peer platform called Trevo. Not only it allows the car-sharing community more vehicle options, but existing car owners can also earn additional income by renting their car out.

Trevo is operated by Future Mobility Solutions Sdn Bhd, which is a fully-owned subsidiary of SoCar Mobility Malaysia Sdn Bhd. SoCar is currently 60% owned by SK Holdings while the remaining 40% is owned by SoCar Korea.

According to Trevo, car ownership in Malaysia is amongst the highest in the region with 93% of households owning at least one car and 54% of households own multiple cars. They added that with real wage growth slowing down, car ownership is becoming a financial burden. With Trevo, car owners can alleviate their financial burden by making money from sharing their vehicles when it is not in use.

For members that are interested in renting a car, they offer a wide range of vehicles from a Perodua Bezza at RM35/day to luxury vehicles such as a Rolls Royce Ghost at RM6,000/day. You can find different vehicle types such as sedans, pickups, SUVs, MPVs and coupes.

For hosts, Trevo says that you can cover your car’s monthly instalment by sharing the car for at least 6-8 days per month. Hosts are given the flexibility to choose their own pricing as long as it falls within the recommended pricing band that’s suggested by Trevo’s algorithm. Trevo also allows corporate listing from commercial car rental companies as well.

You can learn more by checking out Trevo’s website. You can also download the app which is available on both Android and iOS.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
