Philippine-based startup Mober, specializing in electric vehicle (EV) logistics, secures $2 million in seed financing from local family business RT Heptagon Holdings.
The funding is earmarked for accelerating the integration of EVs into Mober’s fleet, which already boasts 60 vehicles. Established in July 2015, Mober is dedicated to promoting green deliveries in the Philippines.
Mober has developed a Transport Management System (TMS) to optimize delivery efficiency and track CO2 savings achieved through EV usage.
“We aim to drive the transition to green deliveries in the Philippines,” says a spokesperson from Mober.
Partnering with renowned brands like Kuehne + Nagel, Nestle, and Maersk, Mober is electrifying their logistics operations. Notably, a collaboration with IKEA Philippines aims to electrify 100% of its home delivery services by 2025.
“Mober is proud to collaborate with IKEA Philippines in electrifying their home delivery services,” expresses a representative from the company.
Mober’s initiatives include inaugurating a flagship EV charging station in Pasay City to support its fleet, particularly those serving IKEA Philippines. Additionally, Mober will electrify same-day delivery services for SM Appliance Center.
“We anticipate an investment round before the end of Q1 2024 to further accelerate our green logistics initiatives,” anticipates a spokesperson
