GOGORO SMARTSCOOTERS AND BATTERYSWAPPING

Introducing a new era of sustainable transport in the Philippines

Globe Group’s 917Ventures, Ayala Corporation, and Gogoro Inc., made history as they launched Gogoro Smartscooters and battery-swapping in the Philippines. The companies are introducing a new era in sustainable transportation that brings together smart, convenient, and accessible electric two-wheelers to customers.

The announcement was made at a ceremony at the Globe headquarters in Bonifacio Global City last April 24, 2023. The three companies also announced the commercial public release of Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping stations in Metro Manila in Q4 2023.

“We in the Globe Group are very proud to bring Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping to the Philippines, a transport ecosystem that marries mobility innovation and sustainability. This year, Filipinos will have access to these electric two-wheelers and Gogoro’s convenient and cost-efficient battery-swapping technology, another first in the Philippines,” said Globe Group president and CEO Ernest Cu at the launch.

Gogoro’s launch is the Globe Group’s debut in the climate tech space as it continues to deliver innovations that address Filipinos’ daily pain points. As a better transportation alternative, Gogoro aims to address commuter woes on expensive gas prices while helping curb carbon emissions, in line with the partners’ shared commitment to sustainability and the Philippine government’s sustainable development agenda.
