A new chapter in Philippine transportation begins with the launch of Xpress, a Filipino-owned ridesharing app backed by Cebuana Lhuillier. The launch event, held at the UNWND Boutique Hotel in Makati City, unveiled Xpress’s innovative features and commitment to redefining transportation with its 2-wheel (Moto) and 4-wheel (Sedan) options.
A Vision Backed by Leadership and Community
Xpress is steered by an impressive leadership team comprising Jean Henri Lhuillier as Chairman, Cliff Cabungcal as President, and Nathan Taylor as CEO. Together, they aim to offer a ridesharing solution that is not only convenient and reliable but also prioritizes community empowerment, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation.
Cutting-Edge Features for Seamless Rides
Xpress introduces several unique features to elevate the ridesharing experience:
- Scan & Ride: A QR code-based instant booking system already successful in Boracay.
- Scheduled and Recurring Bookings: For planned and regular commutes.
- Fastest Service Promise: Ensuring minimal wait times for passengers.
Partnerships and Community Empowerment
Xpress’s collaboration with Local Government Units (LGUs) has significantly improved transportation in Boracay and El Nido. These partnerships have paved the way for smoother travel for locals and tourists alike, with expansions to three additional destinations planned in the coming months.
For drivers, the company’s ‘Ride for Xpress’ program offers upskilling opportunities, including Road Safety, Customer Service, and Entrepreneurial Education. Through its partnership with KaNegosyo Center, Xpress transforms drivers into entrepreneurs, boosting their livelihoods and contributing to community growth.
Commitment to Sustainability
Xpress is laying the groundwork for an eco-friendly future with its planned Eco Fleet, featuring hybrid and fully electric vehicles. This initiative aligns with government goals to reduce pollution and foster green transportation, contributing to a healthier environment for all.
Technological Innovation at the Core
The Xpress experience is enhanced by the integration of AI and data analytics. In collaboration with Google and Microsoft, Xpress employs demand models to anticipate customer needs and is developing a digital concierge for personalized services. Additionally, the company plans to introduce an AI-based credit scoring system to support driver partners with tailored financial solutions.
A Platform for the Future
Beyond ridesharing, Xpress envisions itself as a comprehensive digital platform, incorporating services like domestic travel bookings, activity scheduling, and digital payments. The goal is to create a seamless and connected travel experience for Filipinos.
Exciting Promotions and Leadership Insights
To celebrate its launch, Xpress is offering a 50% discount on the first ride for new users booking with XPRESSMOTO or XPRESSCAR.
