Aboitiz Group adopts sustainable mobility through electric vehicles

Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC) Economic Estates recently unveiled the ambitious RED initiative within its flagship economic zone, the LIMA Estate in Batangas, Philippines.

The program marks a significant milestone in the country’s industrial development, focusing on decarbonization through an intra-estate transportation system while harnessing the power of smart technology and data science to optimize operations.

“We are dedicated to reducing our carbon emissions by transitioning to EVs and providing sustainable mobility to the tens of thousands of people that pass through LIMA Estate each day. These initiatives form the cornerstone of next-generation cities, enabling us to forge a sustainable future for the communities wherein we operate, as well as for the nation,” said AIC Economic Estates head Rafael Fernandez de Mesa.

At the core of the RED initiative are two integral components: Red Link and Red Pass, the Red Link which is a fleet of electric mini-buses providing eco-friendly transportation alternative for both locators and visitors, and the Red Pass, the access card to Red Link.

Red Link effectively replaces conventional fuel-powered vehicles that were previously in use at LIMA Estate. AIC Economic Estates is committed to converting its entire service fleet to electric vehicles by 2025.

The Red initiative extends to the over 150 locators, its 66,000 employees, as well as the broader LIMA Estate community. The shuttles, which are supplied by Global Electric Transportation, will serve 7 different routes within LIMA Estate and will be powered by Aboitiz Power and LIMA EnerZone, tech provider of fast-charging stations.
