Gogoro Philippines, a joint venture between Globe Group’s 917Ventures Inc., Ayala Corporation, and Taiwan’s Gogoro, is set to open its first retail space, the Gogoro Experience Center (GEC), in Makati City on November 7.
The GEC will be located at the second floor of Greenbelt 4, Makati Avenue, Ayala Center. It will be a place where consumers can learn about Gogoro Smartscooters® and battery-swapping GoStations, a personal transportation ecosystem that uses a revolutionary approach to powering mobility.
Gogoro is a Taiwanese company that has pioneered smart electric mobility. Its battery-swapping network in Taiwan has more than 550,000 riders and 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.
The launch of the Gogoro Experience Center is a significant milestone before the start of Gogoro’s commercial operations in the Philippines. It is an opportunity for more Filipinos to learn about a sustainable, technologically advanced, and cost-effective mode of transport that promises to reduce carbon emissions and transform urban mobility.
