Gogoro Philippines, a pioneering force in e-mobility, opened its first experience center in Makati City on November 7 as it gears up for its commercial launch in the country. Located at 2/F, Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center, this innovative hub offers an immersive experience, giving visitors a taste of what it is like to use Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping.
Gogoro was recognized by MIT Technology Review as one of fifteen climate tech companies to watch. The announcement was made at the ClimateTech Conference held at the MIT Media Lab on MIT’s campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In anticipation of a highly awaited public launch, we welcomed over 60 Globe Group employees as the first group of Smartscooter riders in Metro Manila.
Gogoro and Far EasTone Telecom announced the deployment of their jointly-developed Smart Traffic Signal Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) to nearly 200 of Taipei City’s busiest intersections utilizing Gogoro Smart Batteries.
Gogoro and MUJI are teaming up again to launch the “Recycling for Good” project, which paves the way for an upcoming new co-branded Gogoro Smartscooter.
The companies are introducing smart, convenient and accessible two-wheel electric vehicles to customers in Philippines.
The BloombergNEF EVO Report for 2022 indicates that the adoption of two-wheel and three-wheel EVs is progressing significantly. Moreover, the displacement of oil from these types of vehicles is approximately five times that of four-wheel passenger EVs. This progress is due to a combination of factors. First, two-wheel vehicles are generally less expensive and more efficient, making them more accessible to a wider range of consumers, particularly in developing countries where cost is a major factor in purchasing decisions. Second, two-wheel vehicles are better suited for urban transportation as they are small, nimble, and easily navigated through traffic and park in congested areas, reducing traffic congestion. Third, the infrastructure for refueling electric two-wheel vehicles is less complex and less expensive to install than for four-wheel vehicles.
Today, about 56% of the world’s population - 4.4 billion inhabitants - live in cities. According to the United Nations, this trend is expected to continue. By 2050, nearly 7 in 10 people will live in cities. With the acceleration of urbanization, the world is expected to have 43 megacities (defined as cities with more than 10 million residents) by 2030.
