We’ve started seeing more and more EVs on our roads over the past year or so, especially with the advent of new EV brands and models here and there.
One particular brand—BYD—is looking to make an even bigger push towards electrification, as it has now partnered with ride-hailing giant Grab to study the feasibility of EVs for Transport Network Vehicle Services .Facelifted Isuzu D-Max lands in PH with a P1.048-M starting priceThe pilot study will run for a month with participating Grab partners driving BYD Dolphins.
The participating Grab driver-partners took the proper training under BYD Philippines. Charging options, planning, and differences between electric and ICE cars were discussed. They were also taught how to use ACMobility’s chargers which can be accessed through the EVRO app. This pilot study will be conducted in BGC, Makati City, Pasay City, and Mandaluyong City—areas that already have EV chargers in place.
“Grab is fully dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 and critical to this is the inclusion of low or zero-emission vehicles in our fleet,” said Grab Philippines Head of Mobility EJ Dela Vega. “Through this pilot study, we aim to formulate strategic recommendations around the effective integration of electric vehicles in ride-hailing fleets as we proactively co-engineer a more sustainable Philippine mobility ecosystem with all transport stakeholders.
“The results of these end-to-end trials will help us create an ecosystem-wide approach to accelerating the adoption of sustainable mobility in our country,” said ACMobility head of Retail & Distribution Toti Zara. “We are glad to be pioneering this landmark study with Grab, who share our passion for safe and efficient transportation that is friendlier to our environment.”
