The first of its kind in the Philippines, this agreement will boost Mober’s fleet.
Banking giant BDO Unibank, Inc. and pioneering green logistics provider Mober have entered into a landmark agreement for the latter’s acquisition of 60 new electronic vehicles (EVs) — boosting its fleet to 110 all-EV trucks.
“This is a historic milestone not just for Mober but for the entire logistics industry in the Philippines,” said Dennis Ng, CEO of Mober.
“With the addition of these 60 EV trucks, our fleet now stands at 110 units, bringing us closer to our goal of 240 units by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Supported by our proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) and Transport Management System (TMS), we’re ensuring not only sustainability but also efficiency and reliability for our clients,” Ng added.
The addition of the new EV trucks comes timely for Mober, as it is set to open its new charging hub in Pasay City by end-January 2025, touted to be Southeast Asia’s largest logistics-focused EV charging facility.
Aside from expanding its fleet, Mober is also setting the precedent for innovation in the commercial EV space in the country.
Its state-of-the-art Battery Management System (BMS) offers real-time monitoring of battery health and performance, enabling predictive maintenance and extending the lifespan of its fleet.
While its proprietary Transport Management System (TMS) optimizes delivery routes, reducing energy consumption and emissions while ensuring operational excellence for its clients.
For BDO, they see the partnership as a testament to its growing commitment to financing green and sustainable business practices.
Charles M. Rodriguez, the Executive Vice President and Head of BDO Unibank’s Institutional Banking Group, shared that they “remain committed to supporting eco-friendly initiatives amd innovative businesses that nurture the environment and present opportunities for economic growth.”
“This partnership with Mober reinforces our shared commitment towards a greener, more sustainable future,” Rodriguez furthered.
Established in July 2015, Mober largest operator of EV delivery in Southeast Asia, serving an impressive roster of blue-chip clients, including IKEA, Nestlé, Maersk, Monde Nissin, Starbucks, and Kuehne+Nagel.
