Angkas, the leading motorcycle taxi and delivery service provider in the country, said Thursday it plans to enter the four-wheel transport network vehicle service (TNVS) market.
Angkas chief executive George Royeca said would provide the four-wheel TNVS service through Angcars.
“Angcars is designed to be an advanced ride-hailing app that seamlessly blends affordability with user-friendly navigation,” he said.
Royeca said the soon-to-be-launched app would introduce options like Angcars Economy and Angcars Plus, that allow passengers to effortlessly request four-seater or six-seater vehicles for a secure, efficient and hassle-free transport experience.
GrabPhilippines and Joyride offer four-wheel TNVS in the country.
Royeca said for the motorcycle taxi app, the upcoming additions include Angkas Health and Angkas Padala service features.
Angkas Health brings healthcare services to Filipino homes through a straightforward five-step process that includes home service blood testing by PRC-licensed medical professionals.
Angkas Padala is an intuitive app equipped with digital seller tools, payment and disbursement access, along with nationwide courier services that address the emerging needs of the Filipino “e-preneurs”.
Royeca also disclosed the AngKash initiative to offer low-cost loans to assist riders in acquiring or upgrading their motorcycles.
The revamped AngKash aims to extend the initiative to a larger portion of the biker fleet. The program offers reduced interest rates to enhance financial flexibility and mobility.
Royeca cited the need for the homegrown company to ensure optimum levels of efficiency in terms of finding the right balance between manpower and service delivery, vis-à-vis operations.
He assured employees of further growth in the months to come.
