EMotors, Inc., the social enterprise and local manufacturer and assembler of electric 3-wheel vehicles and The Net Group (TNG), the country’s largest green office building developer, tie up to promote the use and benefits of EMotors’ ZüM passenger e-shuttles. 

The partnership with EMotors makes TNG the first company to utilize sustainable, pure electric vehicles to serve the transport needs of its own staff, officers, and tenants starting with their two buildings, Net Park and Net Lima located at the heart of upscale Bonifacio Global City (BGC)—a prime location populated by global companies the likes of Google with its young, tech savvy, globally connected and sustainably conscious BGCitizenry. 

“We want to help alleviate the stress of commuting for TNG staff and our tenants even within a short range of radius with the free point-to-point ZÜM electric shuttle, one that also supports our corporate sustainability goals,” says Raymond Rufino, Co-President, The Net Group.

“The endeavor provides for a win-win-win situation for all stakeholders where the company, the people, and the city gain from the obvious benefits of using zero-emission, zero-noise electric vehicles,” says EMotors President, Elizabeth H. Lee.

According to  Lee, the project is also aimed to help tackle three major social issues:  1) Women’s Welfare- where majority of the e-shuttle drivers are women; 2) Livelihood Creation- where drivers get to earn a living that is less taxing, more enjoyable, and fulfilling; and 3) Environmental Protection by limiting environmental degradation, pollution, and supporting clean air efforts. 

“By working together, we co-create mutual value. We connect with visionary leaders & citizens who put importance in transforming the way we live, work, play, one that jumpstarts a radical change in how we move around our communities and lessen our impact on the environment,” says Elizabeth Lee. 

As cities worldwide continue to become innovative climate solution hubs, the time for electric vehicles becoming an integral part of a city’s transport mix may come sooner that you think.
