With more battery-swapping stations than traditional gas stations in Taiwanese cities, the Gogoro Network has become an integral part of the urban landscape. Supporting nearly 550,000 riders and boasting over 1.1 million smart batteries in circulation, the network has achieved more than 480 million total battery swaps, saving over 680,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Gogoro Philippines is the Globe Group’s first foray into climate tech as it aims to promote eco-friendly transport in the Philippines. The strategic partnership seeks to provide intelligent and eco-friendly mobility solutions that are both accessible and inclusive.
Earlier, Gogoro held a pilot test of Gogoro Smartscooters with Globe employees, who provided invaluable insights ahead of the commercial deployment. It is also continuing to build more GoStations following the launch of the battery-swapping side at The Globe Tower in Taguig City.
With the launch of the Gogoro Experience Center, more Filipinos can now embrace a sustainable, technologically advanced, and cost-effective mode of transport that promises to reduce carbon emissions and transform urban mobility.
