eSakay Inc., a subsidiary of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), has teamed up with tech-logistics firm Mober to provide sustainable delivery services in the Philippines.

Under the partnership, Mober will use a fleet of electric cargo vans provided by eSakay.

The cargo vans are zero-emission commercial vehicles that combine the benefits of electric vehicles (EV) with the design and functionality of reliable goods delivery units in the transport of parcels weighing up to 3,000 kilograms.

“We are delighted to have Mober as our strategic partner in our continuing drive to propagate electric vehicles in the country. Being an innovator in their field, this conveys a strong message and a clear example that a positive impact on climate change can be realized in our local logistics industry,” eSakay chief operating officer Jonathan Aguirre said.

Mober founder Dennis Ng, for his part, said: “We want to set an example in the Philippine logistics industry and do our part in reducing our carbon emissions. Our primary goal has always been to provide efficient service. Having a fleet of electric vans means that we can continue to be efficient, while reducing our carbon footprint.”

Established in 2016, Mober provides same-day delivery services to its clients and aims to address the logistical challenges of small and medium-sized enterprises.

eSakay, meanwhile, provides end-to-end EV and charging infrastructure solutions for institutional customers and the riding public. It is committed to enabling and supporting the country’s transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable transport system.
