ACMobility Launches ChargeFleet: Seamless solution for businesses

B2B solution for corporate fleets and transport groups

Published

on

Ayala Group’s ACMobility has launched ChargeFleet, a new B2B digital solution for corporate fleets and transport groups.

The new service introduces a shareable digital wallet that streamlines charging expenses, reduces manual tracking, and improves cost control.

As more organizations explore electrifying their mobility operations, many continue to face operational challenges — including fragmented payment systems, reimbursement delays, and limited visibility over charging usage.

ChargeFleet addresses these gaps by introducing a centralized, shareable digital wallet. Here, fleet managers can allocate and monitor charging credits across multiple drivers across a single platform.

The system is a seamless process designed for long-term usage and easy deployment across any organization.

Once integrated, ACMobility assigns charging credits to the client’s fleet manager. The manager then can distribute these to multiple drivers. Meanwhile, the latter will be able to see and use their assigned credits via the Evro app.

ChargeFleet is available as a prepaid product through the ChargeFleet Store. Users can buy offers via GCash or credit card. No application process is required.

Looking ahead, ACMobility will continue to enhance the ChargeFleet experience with exclusive value-added perks integrated through Evro and Power on Wheels.

The upcoming features highlight ACMobility’s ongoing push to provide a future-proof support system for the evolving needs of their customers’ businesses.

Nothing confirms Phone (4a) launch by trolling Apple

Work smarter, not harder.

Published

By now, you’ve probably heard of Apple’s and Google’s irreverent advertising campaigns. For example, Apple used to claim that the iPhone is much more secure than an Android. Google, on the other hand, made fun of Apple for adopting new features way behind the curve. Now, a new challenger has entered the battlefield. Nothing has officially confirmed the Phone (4a) by essentially jumping on the hype for the next Apple event.

Recently, Apple released a very interesting invite for an unexpected event on March 4. It was interesting because of its unconventional timing and the recent rumor of a new entry-level MacBook. Naturally, there’s a lot of hype heading into March.

Apropos the brand’s usual marketing strategies, Nothing has released an invite of its own, confirming the launch of the launch of the Phone (4a) on March 5, a day after Apple’s event.

Of course, we’ve known about the Phone (4a) for a while now, thanks to Carl Pei’s own words last month. The more interesting bit is the invite itself.

Rather than bringing out its usual fashion-oriented aesthetics, Nothing just used Apple’s invite and literally spray-painted “Nothing” and “5 March” in neon pink letters.

It’s definitely an unconventional way to hype an event. Then again, everyone’s already excited for Apple, anyway. So it’s a case of “work smarter, not harder,” albeit straddling the fine line of ethical considerations.

Google I/O is officially confirmed for May 19

Gemini might take center stage.

This week, Apple announced a major event to start March off on the right foot. Because of the odd timing, there’s a lot riding on the upcoming event. However, Google wants to a share in the spotlight. Not to be outdone, the company has just announced when the next Google I/O is happening.

As is tradition, Google has released puzzles to tease the date of the annual conference. This time, the company teased the conference with a series of Gemini-powered minigames. They had a golf minigame and a nonogram puzzle, among others. Once you’ve solved the puzzle, you would have known the date of Google I/O ahead of the official announcement.

Well, now that a lot of people got the chance to try the games for themselves, Google officially let the cat out of the bag. The official invite is out, and you don’t need to solve a puzzle to see it. Sundar Pichai has confirmed that this year’s Google I/O is happening from May 19 to 20.

Most announcements, especially the most major keynote one, will be available to watch online for free. The company will likely share what’s coming to Android. Also, because the gamified announcements were heavily based on Gemini, we’ll likely get a healthy dose of Gemini announcements, too.
