    “By operating a fleet composed entirely of EVs, Mober eliminates tailpipe emissions, improves air quality, and promotes the shift towards a more sustainable transportation ecosystem,” it explained.

    Aside from that, Mober ensured inclusivity by training female drivers and assemblers — highlighting its dedication to workforce diversity.

    Further, Mober’s Green Delivery Specialists (GDS) demonstrate the company’s high standards of service and sustainability.

    Started in 2015, Mober is now helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) embrace initiatives towards sustainability by providing EV rentals for their logistical needs. Amid the economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, Mober shifted to using EV and has since moved into a business-to-business (B2B) platform.

    Among its partners are IKEA Philippines, SM Appliance Center, Nestle Philippines, and Nespresso, as well as renowned logistics companies Maersk and Kuehne+Nagel.

    This year, Mober secured a $2 million (around P117.823 million) seed funding round led by RT Heptagon Holdings and an additional $6 million (approximately P353.511 million) investment from Clime Capital under the Southeast Asia Clean Energy Facility II (SEACEF II), boosting its plans to expand its fleet of EV to 238 units and helping the firm to establish a new 3,000-square-meter charging facility by early 2025.

    Moreover, Mober also expanded its operations outside Metro Manila — establishing presence in Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, and most recently, Legazpi.

    "These recognitions are a testament to our relentless drive to innovate and lead the logistics industry toward a sustainable future. At Mober, we believe growth and sustainability go hand in hand, inspiring us to work even harder toward a greener Philippines and beyond," Mober Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Ng was quoted as saying.

    Mober is part of the more than 300 entries from over 100 startups across fintech, agritech, logistics, healthcare, and construction at this year’s KMC Startup Awards.

    The new accolades follow Mober's inclusion in Forbes Asia's 100 to Watch list.
