In a significant move towards sustainable logistics, Mober, a leading green logistics provider in the Philippines, has partnered with BDO Unibank to finance the acquisition of 60 new electric vehicles (EVs). This landmark deal will bolster Mober’s fleet to 110 units, solidifying its position as a pioneer in eco-friendly delivery solutions.
Mober has been at the forefront of driving sustainability in mid- and last-mile logistics. The company serves an impressive roster of blue-chip clients, including IKEA, Nestlé, Maersk, Monde Nissin, Starbucks, and Kuehne+Nagel, offering innovative solutions that align with its global net-zero commitments.
“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 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.”
BDO, the largest bank in the Philippines, sees the partnership as a testament to its growing commitment to green financing and sustainable business practices. “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,” says Executive Vice President and Head of BDO Unibank’s Institutional Banking Group, Charles M. Rodriguez.
Mober’s dedication to sustainability has attracted significant investment. Earlier this year, the company secured a $6 million investment from the Southeast Asia Clean Energy Facility II (SEACEF II), managed by Clime Capital.
“The Philippines is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to the adverse impacts of climate change,” said Rachel Santiago-Sacro, Clime Capital Philippines Country Manager. “By supporting clean-energy pioneers like Mober, we make a meaningful contribution toward rapid decarbonization in Southeast Asia – helping to meet countries’ net-zero targets.”
As part of its ongoing expansion, Mober is set to open a new charging hub in Pasay City by January 2025. This state-of-the-art facility will be the largest logistics-focused EV charging hub in Southeast Asia, further strengthening Mober’s position as a leader in the industry.
Through its partnership with BDO and the support of investors like Clime Capital, Mober is leading the charge in electrifying Philippine logistics and shaping a greener future for the country.
