Green logistics firm expands delivery fleet

Logistics firm Mober is expanding its delivery fleet with 30 new 6-wheeler electric trucks and four 3-wheelers.

Mober's fleet now has 60 vehicles, including 39 e-trucks and 17 e-vans.

CEO Dennis Ng said the company is on track with its fleet expansion plan of 100 e-vans and e-trucks by year-end and a 500 units in the next two years.

"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, we're leading a shift towards a more sustainable Philippine logistics landscape," Ng said.

"We aim to be synonymous with green logistics. When businesses contemplate eco-friendly delivery solutions, Mober should invariably be their first thought," he added.

Helping Mober steer towards its sustainable goals are Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines. It is finalizing loans from the two banks that support the adoption of electric vehicles in the Philippines.

Earlier in the year, Mober reinforced its green trajectory by partnering with Swiss coffee behemoth Nespresso for a carbon-neutral delivery initiative.

It also increased its dedicated fleet for IKEA Philippines and forged a strategic partnership with fast-moving consumer goods titans Unilever Philippines and Nestlé Philippines.
