In support of Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2026 and bolster overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts, Yusen Logistics Philippines. Inc (YLPH) has acquired a fully electric vehicle (EV) as an employee shuttle, initially for Contract Logistics operations.
Delivered last April 24 and purchased from EVOxTerra, the BAW multipurpose EV seats up to 11 passengers with a fast charge time of just 45 minutes and a range of up to 40 kilometers on a single charge, ensuring efficient usage.
Prior to selecting the EV shuttle, YLPH explored other eco-friendly options like hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Aligned with the Philippine government's infrastructure plans, YLPH plans to gradually transition to more EVs for employee shuttles. Furthermore, YLPH is actively exploring the integration of EV trucks into its operations to enhance its positive environmental impact.
This initiative not only contributes to environmental preservation but also sets a positive example within the logistics industry.
