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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
