Mober has expanded its operations to Thailand, launching an initial fleet of 21 electric trucks in the Bang Na district in Bangkok.
The expansion marks “a significant milestone in the company’s regional growth strategy towards championing greener delivery solutions in Southeast Asia (SEA),” the Filipino tech-logistics startup said in a statement.
The initial fleet in Bangkok mainly supports the last-mile delivery needs of furniture and home decor store IKEA Thailand. It is supported by the deployment of a newly-built 1,600-square-meter charging hub in Bang Na, outfitted with four 22-kilowatt (kW) chargers and two 60-kW fast chargers. The facility enables an optimized turnaround and delivery capacity of 150 to 200 drops per day.
“Coming from the Philippines, we at Mober are proud to bring our proven green logistics solutions to Thailand, a market with a thriving environment and a promising future for electric vehicles,” Mober co-founder and head of new business Jade Hugo said.
“As we officially launch our operations, we are confident we will not only make deliveries in Thailand greener but also contribute to a more sustainable urban environment,” Hugo added.
The expansion in Thailand follows other milestones that the company achieved this year, including the introduction last February of the Philippines’ first 100% electric tractor head truck to enable large-scale logistics operations.
Last March, Mober also opened the largest commercial electric vehicle (EV)) charging hub in the country to date, spanning 3,000 square meters with a 56-port capacity.
Mober chief executive officer Dennis Ng said that the expansion fulfills the company’s goal to bring sustainable logistics from the Philippines to the region.
“Mober’s expansion to Thailand aligns with our vision to become the leading green logistics provider in SEA. This strategic move is not just about introducing our EVs on the roads of Thailand but, more importantly, continuously building the foundation for sustainable and efficient urban delivery in the region,” Ng said.
Mober said its entry into Thailand builds on its ongoing investments in green logistics. The company is also raising additional funding to support its Philippine operations and scale its EV fleet in Thailand, with plans to significantly grow the number of units by early 2026.
Mober said the latest expansion also builds on its recent recognition by Forbes Asia, which included the company in its prestigious 100 to Watch List last year.
“This recognition further attests to the global importance of our mission in sustainable logistics. We remain committed to helping businesses achieve net-zero carbon emissions with zero capital expenditures, not only in the Philippines but in Thailand and the region, all towards our vision of a greener future,” Ng said.
