Xpress Super App Eyes Bataan: A New Era for Jobs and Green Mobility

In an exciting development for the province of Bataan, Xpress Super App, a leading Philippine-based platform revolutionizing the transportation and logistics industry, has set its sights on expanding its reach into the region. This move is part of Governor Albert Garcia’s initiative to bring new economic opportunities to Bataan, and Xpress is thrilled to be part of his vision for a greener, more sustainable future.

Xpress Super App, known for offering a variety of services through its innovative platform (www.xpress.ph), currently focuses on ride-hailing, with courier delivery and grocery runs set to launch soon. The company is dedicated to offering accessible, safe, and affordable solutions to Filipinos. With its expansion into Bataan, Xpress aims to empower the local community by opening new doors for employment and offering an eco-friendly approach to transportation.

One of the key figures behind this initiative is Mr. Jean Henri Lhuillier, Chairman of the Board of Xpress and well-known for his leadership at Cebuana Lhuillier. His vision for Xpress goes beyond just transportation—it’s about transforming lives and communities. Lhuillier believes in the potential of digital platforms to uplift underserved areas, providing sustainable opportunities while improving lives across the nation.

Governor Garcia’s push for new economic opportunities in Bataan aligns with Xpress’s goal of providing high-quality services to the province. With a focus on technology and innovation, this partnership will see the introduction of 150 new transport network vehicle service (TNVS) slots in Bataan. These new slots will not only support the province’s growing transportation needs but also help the local economy by creating job opportunities for drivers.

But the impact doesn’t stop at drivers. Xpress plans to establish local offices in Bataan to provide support to their growing workforce. The offices will serve as hubs for driver operations and training, ensuring that drivers are equipped with the necessary skills and resources to offer excellent service to passengers. This means more jobs will be created for Bataan residents in customer support, logistics, and administrative roles, making Xpress an important catalyst for growth and employment in the province.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Xpress’s Bataan expansion is their commitment to environmental sustainability. In collaboration with BYD, a leading electric vehicle manufacturer, Xpress is introducing a fleet of brand-new electric vehicles (EVs) into Bataan’s transport system. The partnership promises to reduce carbon emissions in the province and promote cleaner, greener transportation solutions. For a province that is known for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity, this initiative represents a significant step toward making Bataan a more sustainable and eco-conscious destination.

Xpress is no stranger to success in launching eco-friendly transportation options. The company previously ran a highly successful pilot program in Boracay, utilizing an existing fleet of electric tricycles (e-trikes) on the island and digitizing the experience. The program has since grown to offer thousands of rides each month, effectively reducing carbon emissions while providing locals and tourists with a sustainable transportation alternative. This success in Boracay serves as a model for how Xpress plans to implement electric vehicles in Bataan, demonstrating the company’s ability to bring positive change to new communities.

On December 19, 2024, Xpress’s driver acquisition team took part in an event at Vista Mall Bataan to speak with interested local drivers about the opportunities available through the app. This open forum gave potential drivers the chance to learn how they can apply for driving slots, as well as how Xpress can make their lives better by offering a flexible and reliable source of income. Xpress’s transparent and easy-to-navigate platform ensures that those who join the team will have the resources and support needed to succeed.
