    Ng founded Mober in 2015, in his bid to offer an on-demand platform for cost-effective, same-day delivery service for SME, shoppers, and households.

    In 2018, the company received backing from the SM-led logistics provider, 2GO Group — making the firm a strong player in the third-party delivery service industry.

    Further, Mober made significant strides toward growth and sustainability by being the first logistics company in the Philippines to introduce electric vehicles (EV) to its fleet. The initiative provided an environment-friendly logistics option to big companies committed to achieving their net-zero goals.

    Mober noted that it has added 16 electric vans and four electric trucks to its traditional fleet. It also plans to replace around 180 internal combustion engine-powered vans and trucks with EV units by the middle of next year.
