MOVEM Electric, Inc., the wholly owned end-to-end electric mobility solutions provider of the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), deployed two fully electric, 14-seater shuttles to Barangay Bel-Air in Makati City to provide residents with sustainable, eco-friendly, and accessible community transportation.
‘The turnover of these two fully electric shuttles is an important milestone-not only for Movem and Barangay Bel-Air, but also for sustainable mobility at the community level. While many are still discussing how electric vehicles can become part of everyday life, Barangay Bel-Air has already taken
the lead in integrating them into its service to residents,’ Movem President and CEO Ralph M. Menchavez said.
Barangay Bel-Air Captain Cynthia D. Cervantes said the partnership reflects the community’s commitment to exploring practical solutions that can improve the quality of life of its residents, particularly of senior citizens, while supporting sustainable development goals.
‘With the arrival of two new electric shuttles for our residents, we celebrate another step toward a cleaner, greener, and more accessible Barangay Bel-Air. These e-jeeps will provide our residents with a safer and more convenient mode of transportation while helping reduce our carbon footprint for future generations,’ Cervantes said.
Beyond the deployment of electric vehicles, Movem will also support Barangay Bel-Air’s broader EV charging requirements through the establishment of infrastructure and support systems needed to sustain the community’s shift toward electric mobility.
