NLEX Corporation, in its commitment to further reduce the carbon footprint of its expressway operations, has added more electric vehicles to its fleet. The tollway company currently operates six electric vehicles, with an additional eight expected to be delivered this month.
The transition to electric vehicles aligns with NLEX Corporation’s goal to integrate sustainability into its day-to-day operations. Compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles create a lower carbon footprint over their lifetime. J. Luigi L. Bautista, President and General Manager of NLEX Corporation, emphasized the positive impact of using EVs for company vehicles.
To support the integration of electric vehicles into the company’s transportation network, NLEX Corporation is constructing an EV charging station at its Sta. Rita office in Bulacan. It is scheduled to be completed next month. Another charging station will be built at its Balintawak office by the third quarter of this year. These charging stations will utilize solar energy and will be capable of charging an EV battery from 0% to 85% in just 40 minutes.
NLEX’s initiatives to expand its electric vehicle fleet and establish EV charging stations demonstrate its commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability. The company’s efforts align with the Metro Pacific Group’s commitment to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UNSDG 7 .
In addition to electric vehicles and solar power roofing, NLEX Corporation has implemented a solar perimeter lighting system in its parking areas. The company aims to reduce electricity consumption by utilizing solar energy in its workplace. Moreover, the installation of solar energy systems in three NLEX technical shelters ensures the functionality of communication systems during power outages.
