DBS to convert all of its vehicles to electric by 2026

DBS plans to convert all of its 42 vehicles to electric-powered by 2026.

DBS bank announced the launch of its first electric vehicles (EV) for cash and valuable escort (CVE) services, which would convert all the operational vehicles used by the bank to electric by 2026.

It is working with AETOS Holdings Pte Ltd, a member of the Surbana Jurong Group, and one of the leading safety and security solution providers to businesses and government agencies.

“As part of our commitment to sustainable development, we have been encouraging partners within our ecosystems to adopt carbon reduction practices, in addition to lowering our own footprint," DBS Singapore Country Head Shee Tse Koon said in a statement.

The CVE vehicles are used to transport corporate cash from DBS branches to a cash processing centre. A single CVE vehicle travels more than 170 km a day.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
