Mober Expands EV Logistics, Warehousing in Cebu

Mober, the pioneer of green logistics in the Philippines, has launched sustainable delivery services in Cebu to support IKEA Philippines’ regional expansion.

As IKEA’s green logistics partner, Mober will utilize its 100% electric vehicle (EV) fleet for home deliveries across Cebu and other Visayas provinces, ensuring zero-emission logistics.

This partnership not only meets IKEA’s increasing demand for eco-friendly, high-quality, and affordable home products but also reinforces Mober’s commitment to sustainable logistics solutions.

The project includes a collection hub in Cebu City, facilitating faster deliveries and greater product accessibility for Filipino households in the Visayas region.

The Cebu hub, serving as the last-mile delivery point for IKEA’s products, is equipped with Mober’s latest 15kw OCPP chargers, compatible with type 2 and GB/T standards, ensuring efficient support for Mober’s EV fleet.

“We are thrilled to embark on this groundbreaking journey, expanding our green delivery solutions to the Visayas. This represents a leap forward for the Philippines in embracing sustainable practices across the logistics industry. As EV ownership gains momentum, Mober is well-positioned to further its commitment to providing sustainable business solutions towards a net-zero carbon emission future by leveraging our all-electric fleet. Together, let’s roll up our sleeves and reduce our carbon footprint one delivery at a time,” said Mober Founder and CEO Dennis Ng.

Mober, a leader in green logistics, supports the end-to-end supply chain sustainability of major FMCG and retail brands.

Besides IKEA, Mober partners with SM Appliance Center, Unilever Philippines, Nestle Philippines, and Nespresso, as well as renowned logistics companies Maersk and Kuehne+Nagel.

Mober’s unique partnership model allows businesses to transition to green delivery operations without capital expenditures, democratizing access to sustainable logistics.

The collaboration is pivotal in encouraging more companies to embrace green logistics, reinforcing Mober’s role as a sector game-changer.

“Our vision extends beyond just providing a service, but it’s about pioneering a movement towards sustainability that we hope will inspire other businesses and communities across the country. As we look to the future, Mober is committed to being at the forefront of this green revolution. This is just the beginning of a more sustainable Philippines, and we are proud to lead the charge,” shared Ng.

In September 2023, Mober unveiled its 800-square-meter flagship EV charging hub in Pasay City, enhancing the efficiency of its exclusive EV fleet.

Aligning with the Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems (EVIDA) Act, Mober’s partnerships with key FMCG and retail players underscore the Philippines’ commitment to eco-driven policies.

With a fleet of 60 vehicles, including e-trucks, e-vans, and three-wheelers, Mober aims to expand its green delivery services across Southeast Asia, targeting a fleet of 500 EVs within two years.

Mober plans to establish a network of charging stations from Pasay City to Tacloban, positioned every 150-200 kilometers, to support its growing fleet and underscore its leadership in green logistics.

As the EV market in the Philippines grows, supported by favorable government policies and increasing consumer awareness, Mober is well-positioned to contribute to the country’s green transition, leading sustainable logistics in Southeast Asia.
