BDO Unibank Powers Electric Mobility

Charles M. Rodriguez, BDO’s Executive Vice President and Head of Institutional Banking Group powers up one of the electric trucks funded by BDO at the launch of Mober Central Charge, strengthening BDO’s support for eco-friendly mobility in the country.

​In supporting businesses that embrace eco-friendly practices, BDO Unibank Inc. (BDO) plays a vital role in driving economic progress while advancing sustainability. As part of this commitment, BDO financed the acquisition of Mober’s 60 electric vehicle (EV) trucks enabling the company to expand its operations as a pioneer in green logistics.

​“BDO supports our fleet expansion, allowing us to take a significant step toward building a more sustainable logistics industry,” shared Dennis Ng, CEO of Mober.

“We are dedicated to the advancement of sustainable business practices, helping enterprises transition toward a greener future. By supporting initiatives that drive electric mobility and green logistics, we contribute to building a cleaner, more resilient economy,” said Charles M. Rodriguez, Executive Vice President and Head of Institutional Banking Group of BDO Unibank.

BDO’s financing reaffirms its dedication to support green technologies and foster sustainable development. By backing Mober’s EV trucks acquisition, the Bank is enabling this environmental-friendly logistics company to scale its operations while significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Mober recently unveiled Central Charge, its state-of-the-art EV charging hub in Pasay City to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle logistics operations. Recognized as the country’s largest commercial EV charging facility, Mober Central Charge aligns with the firm’s vision of positioning the Philippines as a leader in sustainable logistics.

Spanning 3,000 square meters with a 56-port capacity, the hub is designed to serve a mixed fleet of e-vans and e-trucks. Through a structured three-shift system, it can charge up to 200 EV trucks daily, ensuring round-the-clock logistics operations. Strategically located near Metro Manila’s key commercial areas, the facility will enhance delivery efficiency for major clients including Ikea, SM Appliances, Nestle Philippines and Maersk.

As BDO continues to promote financing programs for renewable energy and eco-friendly initiatives, the Bank aims to inspire other financial institutions and companies to drive meaningful change by adopting sustainable practices.
