LOGISTICS SERVICE provider Mober recently announced the expansion of its fleet, with the acquisition of 30 new six-wheeler electric trucks and four three-wheelers — further augmenting its capability to offer sustainable delivery solutions in the region.
Mober now boasts a total of 60 electric vehicles (EVs), comprised of 39 e-trucks, 17 e-vans, and four three-wheelers. The company is setting its sights on the “Southeast Asian green delivery market,” with plans of increasing the count to 100 electric vans and trucks by yearend, and 500 units within the next two years.
Earlier this year, Mober increased its dedicated fleet for IKEA Philippines. This strategic partnership continues to positions Mober as “a valuable partner” to large FMCG firms such as Unilever Philippines and Nestlé Philippines. The company also revealed that it is “commencing a pilot delivery program with the largest chain of coffee shops in the world, underlining its commitment to sustainable initiatives.” Mober also partnered with Nespresso for a carbon-neutral delivery initiative, and forged an alliance location technology enterprise, What3words, to optimize its delivery process, granting customers the ability to specify exact delivery locations with a unique three-word combination, ensuring precision and promptness.
Mober is also finalizing a loan application with Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP). Both institutions are advocates of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA Law), or Republic Act No. 1169, which encourages the adoption of EVs in the country.
Said Mober CEO Dennis Ng, “Our unwavering dedication to merging efficiency with sustainability is evident in our aggressive push for electric vehicles. With each addition to our fleet, we’re not merely growing (but) leading a shift toward a more sustainable Philippine logistics landscape.”
He added, “We aim to be synonymous with green logistics. When businesses contemplate eco-friendly delivery solutions, Mober should invariably be their first thought.”
