Manila, Philippines – BDO Unibank, Inc. has forged a partnership with logistics provider Mober to finance its new electric vehicle trucks and promote eco-friendly logistics.
Mober has been leading efforts towards sustainable solutions through green logistics, committed to global net-zero. BDO’s move to finance its vehicles is a step to solidify its commitment to green financing and sustainability.
Mober’s sustainability efforts are supported by its ‘Battery Management System,’ which monitors its vehicles’ battery health and performance in real-time. This enables the company to predict necessary maintenance and extend the vehicles’ lifespan.
Additionally, Mober uses a ‘Transport Management System’ that optimises its delivery routes to reduce energy consumption and emission. While championing sustainability, it also provides better service for its clients.
Among Mober’s client portfolio are IKEA, Nestlé, Maersk, Monde Nissin, Starbucks, and Kuehne+Nagel.
Mober is also set to launch a new charging hub for electric vehicles in Pasay City by January 2025.
“This is a historic milestone not just for Mober but for the entire logistics industry in the Philippines. 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,” Dennis Ng, chief executive officer of Mober, said.
“We remain committed to supporting eco-friendly initiatives and 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,” Charles M. Rodriguez, executive vice president and head of BDO Unibank’s Institutional Banking Group, said.
