Iloilo taxi operators, ride-hailing firm branch out to EV services
One of the country’s major ride-hailing companies has teamed up with two Iloilo transport operators to expand access to electric vehicle (EV) ride-hailing services in Western Visayas.
Grab, a leading ride-hailing company, has partnered with two Iloilo taxi operators to introduce electric vehicle (EV) ride-hailing services in Western Visayas. The collaboration involves Iloilo-based quarry taxi Quarry Taxi, operated by Feast Group Inc., and MOMOFED Taxi, a subsidiary of MOMOFED Transport Group Corporation. The partnership aims to provide electric taxi drivers more opportunities through the GrabTaxi Electric platform.
EVs can reduce operating costs per kilometer by up to 75% when compared to similar internal combustion engine (ICE) taxis, according to Grab. The agreement grants GrabTaxi Electric operators and their drivers preferential rates at public EV charging stations nationwide, lowering per-kWh charging costs by up to 45%. The initiative supports the shift towards more sustainable mobility and helps local operators and driver-partners participate in this transition.
