Making It Happen for a Greener Tomorrow

Airspeed Drives Sustainable Logistics Forward with New Electric Vehicles

In a bold move toward a greener future, Airspeed, one of the leading logistics providers in the Philippines, has taken a significant leap by integrating electric trucks and motorcycles into its delivery fleet. This strategic move highlights the company’s commitment to sustainable logistics and efforts in reducing its environmental footprint while optimizing operational efficiency.

Driving Toward a Greener Future

Airspeed’s adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is part of its comprehensive sustainability roadmap. By replacing fossil-fueled delivery vehicles with EVs—particularly in high-density urban areas like Metro Manila—Airspeed is actively cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs. This transition results in a win-win scenario for the environment and business growth.

Why Electric Vehicles Matter in The Logistics Industry

The logistics and transportation sectors are responsible for over 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with road transport being a significant contributor. Adopting electric delivery vehicles is critical in reducing these emissions and building a cleaner supply chain.

Compared to traditional diesel-powered trucks, electric vehicles:

  • Produce zero tailpipe emissions
  • Operate more quietly, improving urban delivery experiences
  • Require less maintenance and are more cost-efficient over time

Airspeed’s initiative to shift to EVs positions it as a pioneer in eco-conscious logistics in the Philippines.

Airspeed’s Comprehensive Sustainability Strategy

Beyond its EV investment, Airspeed continues to roll out a series of environmentally responsible programs to support its long-term sustainability goals:

  • Smart Energy Facilities
    Retrofitting warehouses and offices with energy-efficient lighting, HVAC, and water systems.
  • Sustainable Packaging
    Transitioning 75% of bubble wrap materials to shredded carton alternatives, significantly reducing plastic use.
  • Community Engagement
    Actively supporting local environmental projects such as coastal cleanups and tree-planting drives.
  • Solar-Powered Infrastructure
    On track to power all facilities with solar energy by 2026, enhancing energy independence and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

These initiatives reflect Airspeed’s active participation in the Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (EPR) program under PARM, Inc., strengthening its role as a socially and environmentally responsible company.

Setting the Benchmark for Sustainable Logistics in the Philippines

As the logistics industry faces mounting pressure to innovate and lower emissions, Airspeed’s actions serve as a model for others to follow. By leading with green logistics solutions, Airspeed’s actions serve not only supports the Philippines’ environmental goals but also builds:

  • Greater operational resilience
  • Improved customer trust
  • Long-term cost savings
