The company will launch a pilot two-wheeled battery exchange in Manila using leading battery exchanges in the Gogoro and Smartscooters industries.

Smartscooters, which serve as environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil-fueled vehicles, are expected to launch in Q1 2023.

"We are committed to helping solve the climate crisis by introducing Gogoro to the logistics business, helping them in their sustainability efforts," said Vince Yamat, Managing Director of 917 Ventures.

Furthermore, Yamat also hopes that Gogoro technology will later be able to encourage more people in the Philippines to switch to EVs.

"I commend 917Ventures, Globe, and Ayala Corporation for always being at the forefront of a change initiative aimed at improving the standard of life of the Filipino people while helping to protect the environment," he concluded.
