Bateriku Launches KOBAT: A Digital Leap in Automotive Cooperatives to Empower Members and Strategic Partners

- Significant Discounts: Members enjoy 10%–20% discounts on vehicle repairs, special pricing for periodic maintenance (such as oil changes and tuning), and up to RM40 off Astra batteries.
- Financial Growth: The cooperative provides opportunities for savings, member incentives, and future wealth-building through various cooperative activities.

A Growing Ecosystem of Strategic Partners
KOBAT leverages a vast ecosystem through Bateriku’s subsidiaries, including Akademi Bateriku for technical training, BGarage for workshop services, and BIRU Insuretech for digital insurance solutions.
The cooperative has also established strategic collaborations with major industry players to maximize member rewards. These partners include Petron, CIMB, AmBank, RHB Bank, Grab, Foodpanda, Socar, Trevo, and Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport. These partnerships ensure that members receive nationwide coverage for roadside assistance and diverse retail benefits.
An Open Invitation to Malaysia’s Cooperative Network
The launch of KOBAT is not just an internal milestone but a call to action for the wider cooperative movement in Malaysia. KOBAT is actively looking to build strategic collaborations with other cooperatives interested in gaining better rewards and exploring joint ventures.
By joining forces, other cooperatives can tap into KOBAT’s standardized training modules, operational manuals, and digital infrastructure. This presents a unique opportunity for cooperatives to diversify their services into the automotive sector, utilize real-time commission tracking systems, and provide their own members with enhanced value through shared resources.
“This initiative represents more than just an organization, it represents trust and unity,” stated the management of Bateriku. “As we continue to expand, we want to create a stronger internal support system and invite other organizations to grow alongside us”.
Other cooperatives and organizations interested in exploring partnership opportunities are encouraged to connect with our team for further discussion.
