Pilipinas Shell, SUN Mobility to bring advanced battery swapping technology to the Philippines

Bangalore (ANI): SUN Mobility announced that it recently signed a strategic agreement with the Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation. The partnership will explore the pilot deployment of SUN Mobility's advanced battery-swapping technology in the Philippines for 2 and 3-wheel electric vehicles.

The partnership supports the recently passed Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA) that aims to promote sustainable electric transportation in the Philippines. The partners aim to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the Philippines by providing a practical and economical solution with zero tailpipe emissions.

Select Shell Mobility stations will soon deploy Swap Points that leverage state-of-the-art interoperable battery-swapping technology by SUN Mobility comprising of Smart Batteries, Quick Interchange Stations, and Smart Network (cloud-based IoT backend software). This will allow 2 and 3-wheel electric vehicles to swap batteries at select Shell mobility stations in less than two minutes. The pilot is expected to launch within the first half of 2023.

Jolo Valdez, E-Mobility and Innovations Manager for Pilipinas Shell shared, "Shell is happy to work with both the private and public sectors to develop solutions that will decarbonize mobility and transport. Both 2-wheel and 3-wheel electric vehicles are projected to be a major use case for logistics companies and other fleet operators in the coming decades, and this pilot deployment aims to test the feasibility of smart battery swapping services and technology for the PhilippineB2B use case.

"Speaking on the occasion, Ajay Goel, Co-founder and Executive Director of SUN Mobility said, "In the future, we intend to bring our industry-leading technology along with our substantial on-ground experience after having deployed 250+ Swap Points in 18 cities across India, powering over 55 million km and ~3 million swaps so far."
