With over two decades of experience in the sales and rental of heavy construction equipment, <strong>MWG <\/strong>is a widely established, reliable supplier of new and used heavy construction equipment to customers from Singapore, Australia, the UAE, the Maldives, Indonesia, and the Philippines. With extensive inventory of heavy construction equipment and complementary refurbishment and cleaning services, <strong>MWG<\/strong> is well-positioned to serve customers as a one-stop shop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG<\/strong> history began in 1988 when Mr. James Lim carried on the business of selling generators and air compressors under a sole proprietorship under the business name &ldquo;Multi-Ways Equipment&rdquo;. Multi Ways SG was incorporated in 2002 to take over the business carried on by Mr. James Lim under the sole proprietorship. Over the last two decades, <strong>MWG<\/strong> has become a supplier of a wide range of heavy construction equipment in Singapore and the region. In 1996, <strong>MWG<\/strong> expanded its fleet of heavy construction equipment to include road-building equipment and mining equipment. In 2012, <strong>MWG<\/strong> expanded into the crane trading business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.globalnewslines.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/9c7c6bd26f5cc361980f872356566e07.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <strong>MWG<\/strong> mission is to be an industry leader in the sales and rental of a wide range of heavy construction equipment in Singapore and the region, and as a one-stop shop offering complementary equipment refurbishment and cleaning services to its customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG<\/strong> has a good share structure for investors with only 33,330,000 shares outstanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Expansion of Operational Capacity to Support Business Diversification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Overview<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG <\/strong>has secured additional warehouse and yard space in Singapore to support its strategic expansion into hybrid and electric (EV) construction equipment, while strengthening its core storage, logistics, and operational capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This expansion is undertaken in response to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Elevated global oil prices impacting demand for traditional diesel-powered equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Temporary slowdown of operations in the Middle East region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Increasing market demand for cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable machinery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Details of Expansion<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the first quarter of 2026, <strong>MWG<\/strong> secured additional industrial space totalling approximately 6,453 sqm (~69,460 sq ft), comprising:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">~3,450 sqm under a 3-year lease (long-term operational facility)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">~3,003 sqm under a 1-year lease (short-term, flexible capacity)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In addition, <strong>MWG<\/strong> has secured a separate facility comprising approximately 80,000+ sq ft of combined sheltered warehouse space and open yard area, with the following terms:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Monthly rental: S$108,800<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Lease tenure: 5 years (commencing 15 April 2026)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Purpose and Utilisation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The additional <strong>MWG<\/strong> space will be utilised to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Support storage and staging of an expanded equipment fleet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Provide dedicated capacity for hybrid and EV machinery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Facilitate maintenance, refurbishment, and operational turnaround.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Accommodate increased rental and sales activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Financial and Risk Considerations<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The expansion is aligned with the <strong>MWG<\/strong> revenue-generating activities, particularly fleet growth in both rental and sales segments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The lease structure is designed to balance:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Stability, through long-term core operational space<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Flexibility, through short-term, scalable capacity<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG<\/strong> rental commitments are supported by:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Existing recurring income streams from equipment leasing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Anticipated improvements in fleet utilisation rates<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Key risk mitigation measures include:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Diversification away from oil-dependent markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Geographic rebalancing toward Singapore and regional demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Scalable lease commitments to manage potential downside scenarios.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Conclusion<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This expansion strengthens the <strong>MWG<\/strong> operational infrastructure and supports its transition toward higher-demand, energy-efficient equipment segments. The investment is prudent, income-generating, and aligned with <strong>MWG<\/strong> long-term strategy and risk management framework.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Delivery of Five Mixer Trucks for Electric Vehicle Strategy to Capture Singapore&#8217;s Construction Electrification Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On April 6th <strong>MWG<\/strong> reported the successful delivery of five mixer trucks to clients, marking continued operational execution against active project demand. Concurrent with this delivery milestone, <strong>MWG<\/strong> announced a strategic initiative to diversify its portfolio into electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid construction equipment &mdash; a direct response to escalating fuel costs and a decisive move to align with Singapore&#8217;s government-backed incentive program for early EV adopters in the construction sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG<\/strong> is currently in active negotiations with C&amp;C to expand its line of electric vehicle products, while simultaneously preparing for the imminent commercial launch of hybrid and electric construction equipment. Fuel cost volatility has become a structural pressure across the construction industry, and <strong>MWG<\/strong> is repositioning its product offerings to provide clients with energy-efficient alternatives that reduce the total cost of ownership and improve project economics over the long term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>MWG<\/strong> is currently an active contributor to Singapore&#8217;s landmark infrastructure program, commonly referred to as the nation&#8217;s &#8216;Mega Projects&#8217; initiative. <strong>MWG<\/strong> construction equipment is deployed in support of Changi Airport Terminal 5 &mdash; one of the most significant aviation infrastructure developments in Southeast Asia &mdash; and the Long Island reclamation project, a transformative coastal development undertaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In connection with these projects, <strong>MWG<\/strong> is in active discussions with cement batching plants to integrate its latest hybrid and EV construction equipment into their operations. Securing these integrations would represent a meaningful commercial validation of the <strong>MWG<\/strong> electrification strategy at scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A significant market catalyst underpinning the <strong>MWG<\/strong> electrification strategy is Singapore&#8217;s Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG), administered through the Singapore Government&#8217;s GoBusiness platform. The EEG provides funding support of up to 70% of qualifying equipment acquisition costs for eligible SME businesses in the construction sector &mdash; covering equipment categories including electric crawler cranes, electric excavators, and electric wheel loaders. This level of government co-investment dramatically reduces the capital barrier for clients and project operators evaluating the adoption of hybrid and electric construction equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.globalnewslines.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/b634acbfd79cbb0ed8a3087be77acdc4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>$6.4 Million Purchase of 62 Sinotruk Vehicles and Entry into Dealership Agreement with Cycle &amp; Carriage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On January 12th <strong>MWG<\/strong> announced that it has placed an order for 62 Sinotruk vehicles valued at approximately S$8.24 million (US$6.4 million) and entered into a Sinotruk dealership agreement with Cycle &amp; Carriage Ventures Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Jardine Cycle &amp; Carriage Limited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <strong>MWG<\/strong> order comprises 40 Sitrak G7 8&#215;4 cement mixers and 22 Sitrak G7 8&#215;4 tipper trucks, each equipped with HOWO automatic transmission systems. Delivery is expected within approximately three months of order confirmation, with vehicles carrying a one-year warranty on engine, gearbox, and axle components. The acquisition expands <strong>MWG<\/strong> fleet capacity to address demand for heavy-duty commercial vehicles in the construction and logistics sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Concurrent with the equipment order, <strong>MWG <\/strong>has entered into a one-year Sinotruk Dealership Agreement with Cycle &amp; Carriage. Under the agreement, <strong>MWG<\/strong> has been appointed as a non-exclusive dealer authorized to sell and retail Sinotruk products in Singapore, including prime movers and rigid chassis configurations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For more information on $MWG, visit: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Ju_XuQ00EYE35Um1zPsmLZnI2TLPhHcoIgoOLuhHUmQvOJ1BTyAnvfLtnr1Rt76MrCHVDgBtiDLpKoFlPNnXhjIHpWEbz0LtngMAgLZ6WVfc3a1dZHcUrjm9SwS_WED3\" target=\"_blank\">www.multiwaysholdings.com&nbsp;<\/a>and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/DVK1V7McPOsNmZ8HC\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/share.google\/DVK1V7McPOsNmZ8HC<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Email:<\/strong> matthew@strategic-ir.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">DISCLAIMER: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/corporateads.com\/disclaimer\/\">https:\/\/corporateads.com\/disclaimer\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Disclosure listed on the CorporateAds website<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> Multi Ways Holdings Limited (NYSE American: MWG)<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Matthew Abenante, IRC, Strategic Investor Relations, LLC<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href='http:\/\/www.universalpressrelease.com\/?pr=expansion-in-singapore-to-support-more-hybrid-and-electric-ev-construction-equipment-as-well-as-logistics-and-operational-capabilities-for-multi-ways-holdings-ltd-nyse-american-mwg'>Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 347-947-2093<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>3E Gul Circle  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> 629633 Singapore<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> Singapore<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.multiwaysholdings.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.multiwaysholdings.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getnews.info\/press_stat.php?pr=expansion-in-singapore-to-support-more-hybrid-and-electric-ev-construction-equipment-as-well-as-logistics-and-operational-capabilities-for-multi-ways-holdings-ltd-nyse-american-mwg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$MWG is Developing its Electric Vehicle Strategy in Response to Escalating Fuel Costs and Alignment with Singapore&#8217;s Incentive for Early EV Adopters in Construction Long Established Industry Leader in Sales<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548019"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548019\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.honolulunewsnow.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
