Philippine green logistics services provider Mober has launched sustainable delivery services in the province of Cebu to support the regional expansion of Swedish home furnishing retail giant IKEA Philippines.
As IKEA Philippines’ green logistics partner, Mober will use its 100% electric vehicle (EV) fleet to support home deliveries in Cebu and other Visayas provinces, ensuring zero-emission deliveries. This not only supports the furniture firm’s growing demand for high-quality and affordable home products in the regional areas but also showcases Mober’s commitment to eco-friendly logistics solutions.
In addition to the sustainable delivery services, the logistics firm will assist the furniture brand's warehousing solutions via a collection hub located in Cebu City, speeding up delivery times and increasing product accessibility for Filipino households in Visayas.
The collection hub serves as the last-mile delivery point for IKEA’s sustainable products and houses Mober’s EV charging stations.
The Cebu City facility includes the logistics provider’s latest 15-kilowatt OCPP (open charge point protocol) chargers, compatible with type 2 and GB/T standards, ensuring efficient support for its EV fleet serving IKEA.
The logistics provider supports the end-to-end supply chain sustainability of major fast-moving consumer goods and retail brands. Besides IKEA Philippines, the company partners with SM Appliance Center, Unilever Philippines, Nestle Philippines and Nespresso, as well as logistics companies like Maersk and Kuehne+Nagel.
The logistics firm offers a unique partnership model that, it says, “provides an unprecedented advantage to businesses, allowing them to transition to green delivery operations with zero capital expenditures or upfront costs, effectively democratizing access to green logistics. This hassle-free collaboration is pivotal in encouraging more companies to embrace sustainable logistics.”
Dennis Ng, the logistics provider’s founder and CEO, adds: “Expanding our green delivery solutions to the Visayas 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.”
