Mober to use electric cargo vans from eSakay

MANILA: Meralco subisidary eSakay has partnered with tech-logistics firm Mober to provide delivery services using electric cargo vans. 

Mober, which provides same-day delivery services to its clients, will use a fleet of electric cargo vans provided by eSakay, an end-to-end green mobility solutions provider and enabler.

The zero-emission commercial vehicles are able to transport parcels weighing up to 3,000 kilograms. The vehicles have range of about 220 kilometers on a single charge and a top speed of 90kph.

For quicker charging, the vans can be plugged to DC fast chargers that can top up the batteries to 80% in just one hour.

"The partnership between eSakay and Mober is part of both companies’ commitment to support the country’s transition to cleaner energy, and to promote green and sustainable transport operations," both firms said in a statement. 

Launched in 2016, Mober has provided logistics services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Today, the company is providing house moving and pet shuttles.

Meanwhile, eSakay is the green mobility arm of Meralco. The company provides EV and charging infrastructure solutions for corporations and the public. "It is supporting the country’s transition towards a cleaner and a more sustainable transport system," according to the release.
