JV Background

The Philippines has witnessed increased logistics flows due to several years of solid economic growth. Numerous delivery-related time and cost challenges have arisen, however, including shortages of delivery drivers, severe and chronic congestion in the city center, and delays in the delivery mechanism infrastructure. At the same time, due to the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, online shopping and food deliveries have seen sharply increased usage, and delivery-related challenges are becoming more serious.

In anticipation of overcoming these challenges, and of expected continuous growth of the delivery in the future, the three partners have established a Philippine-based JV, and will provide a logistics and delivery matching service targeting Last Mile logistics¹.
