Logistics firm Mober will establish a network of electric vehicle charging stations, to be placed strategically every 150 to 200 kilometers, stretching from Pasay City in Metro Manila to Tacloban in Leyte.

Mober, a frontrunner in green logistics services in the Philippines, has been recognized in Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch List of 2024 for its significant impact on the industry and consistent financial growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Forbes Asia’s 100 to Watch List this year focuses on companies and startups that have achieved steady growth, even as venture capital funding in the region hit a seven-year low last year.

This year, Mober secured an additional $6 million in funding from the South East Asia Clean Energy Facility II managed by Clime Capital, building on the $2 million investment received from RT Heptagon Holdings last year.
