In order to provide convenience to students and staff, UTAR launched its first e-Buggy at Kampar Campus. The launching ceremony was held on 5 April 2023 at Kampar Campus.

UTAR President Ir Prof Dato’ Dr Ewe Hong Tat was invited to grace the ceremony. Also present were Faculty of Arts and Social Science Dean Dr Lee Lai Meng, Faculty of Business and Finance Dean Assoc Prof Dr Au Yong Hui Nee, Faculty of Science Dean Assoc Prof Dr Lim Tuck Meng, Faculty of Engineering and Green Technology Deputy Dean for Student Development and Industrial Training Dr Tan Kok Tat, Centre for Foundation Studies (Kampar Campus) Deputy Director for Student Affairs and Development Lim Khiew Loon, Department of Student Affairs (Kampar Campus) Head Chiang Jeng Fong, Department of General Services (Kampar Campus) Head Yee Sook Heng, Division of Corporate Communication and Public Relations (Kampar Campus) Head S. Saravani and representatives from Student Representative Committee of Kampar Campus.

According to the Department of Student Affairs of Kampar Campus, the University was concerned about students and staff who had to move around UTAR Kampar Campus without any transportation under the hot sun or rain to reach a specific destination or parking zone. The University, therefore, has taken this initiative to provide e-Buggy services for students and staff. It is believed that this environmentally friendly means of transportation will provide students and staff with more convenient transportation options.

The trial run for the on-campus buggy service commenced on 21 March 2023. The service will be available from 8.30 am until 5.30pm. Students and staff are welcome to ride the buggy for free. The pick-up and drop-off points will be as follows:

1.  University Administrative Block (Block F Bus Stop)
2.  Student Pavilion II (Behind the Kitchen of Cafeterias)
3.  FICT/IPSR (Block N Main Entrance/Bus Stop)
4.  Car Park zone in front of the Sports Complex
5.  Heritage Building (Block A Main Entrance)
