0%
Commission to Support Drivers Transitioning to Hybrid & EVs

Manila, Philippines –
February 18, 2025 – The Xpress EV: Sustainable Rides, Pinoy Pride
event at Blue Leaf Pavilion, McKinley Hill, marked a major milestone in
Philippine transportation as Xpress, the country’s fastest-growing
ride-hailing platform, officially announced its partnership with BYD and
ACMobility to accelerate the shift to sustainable urban mobility.

BYD
and Xpress: Leading the Charge for Sustainable Mobility

Through this
collaboration, Xpress is taking a bold step toward electrifying its fleet,
integrating BYD’s industry-leading electric and hybrid vehicles into its
ride-hailing platform. The initiative aligns with Xpress’s long-term vision
of making EV adoption accessible, cost-effective, and beneficial for drivers
and passengers alike.

To further support
drivers making the transition from traditional vehicles to hybrid and electric
models, Xpress is rolling out a 0% commission program for a limited time.
During this transition period, drivers who operate EVs and hybrid
vehicles through Xpress will retain 100% of their earnings, helping
them recover their investment faster and realize the financial
benefits of sustainable mobility immediately.

Kickstarting
EV Adoption Through the Xpress Negosyo Program

Understanding that upfront
costs remain a major barrier to EV adoption, Xpress has launched the Negosyo
Program, securing the first batch of hybrid and electric vehicles to
provide drivers with an accessible pathway into the EV ecosystem.

Additionally, Xpress has
partnered with Cebuana Lhuillier’s Ka Negosyo Program, which is offering
exclusive financing options tailored for Xpress driver partners. This
initiative will provide affordable payment terms for EV and hybrid vehicle
purchases, focusing on drivers in Metro Manila and other key cities
nationwide.

Industry
Leaders Rally Behind Xpress’s EV Vision

During the event, Cliff
Cabungcal, President of Xpress, emphasized the transformational role of
this partnership in reshaping the ride-hailing industry.

“The future of
urban transport is sustainable, and Xpress is committed to leading this
transition. Our partnership with BYD allows us to integrate cutting-edge EV
technology into our platform, while our driver-support programs help ensure a
smooth and profitable transition for our partners,” said
Cabungcal.

Jaime Alfonso Zobel de
Ayala, CEO of ACMobility, expressed his excitement for the
partnership, stating:

“Xpress is the
first ride-hailing company in the Philippines to implement such a
forward-thinking program. Their commitment to sustainability and driver
empowerment aligns perfectly with AC Mobility’s vision. Through our investment
in EV charging infrastructure, we are ensuring that this transition is not just
possible, but practical and accessible for drivers nationwide.”

ACMobility has invested over
$100M in expanding EV charging networks, ensuring that Xpress EV drivers
will have access to reliable charging stations, even in previously
underserved areas.

Jean Henri Lhuillier,
Chairman of Xpress, reinforced Xpress’s role as a leader in EV adoption,
stating:

“The transition to
EVs is not just about sustainability—it’s about securing better earnings, lower
operating costs, and financial stability for our drivers as they become
entrepreneurs. That’s why Xpress is introducing a 0% commission program for a limited
time to support their transition. With the backing of Cebuana Lhuillier’s Ka
Negosyo Program, Xpress driver partners now have a pathway to EV ownership,
making this shift more accessible than ever.”
