# GerWeiss Impact

We measure success in two ways: tons of CO2 removed from the air, and take-home pay added to drivers' pockets. True transport electrification must deliver both.

## Measured Proof
- 20M+: Electric kilometers driven
- 200k+: Battery swaps completed
- 2M+: CO2e offset (kg)

## Impact Metrics
### Battery swaps completed

A proof metric showing practical battery-swapping use at operating scale.

### Carbon emissions avoided

A public-facing climate metric that anchors environmental claims in a concrete value.

### Electric kilometers covered by fleets

A proof metric showing operational usage instead of vague sustainability language.


### Just Transition

Decarbonization without the driver burden.

The traditional approach to EV adoption forces transport operators to take on massive debt for new vehicles, while losing critical operating hours to slow charging infrastructure. This model is fundamentally incompatible with the realities of public transport in the Philippines, where daily take-home pay is the priority.

GerWeiss flips this model. By decoupling the battery from the vehicle and offering a pay-per-use swap system, we remove the high upfront costs and eliminate charging downtime. Drivers simply swap and go, ensuring that the transition to clean energy actually improves their livelihoods rather than threatening them.

- **200-500%** higher driver take-home pay
- **Zero** exposure to daily fuel price volatility
- **< 2 min** battery swap turnaround for continuous uptime

## Beyond emissions reduction.

Our battery swapping ecosystem delivers compounding benefits for operators, local governments, and the grid.

### Higher daily earnings

- Module: For Drivers

By switching from volatile fossil fuels to a predictable pay-per-use battery lease, drivers significantly increase their daily take-home pay.

### Turnkey modernization

- Module: For LGUs

We provide locally manufactured vehicles, the swapping stations, and the operational software, giving cities a complete public transport upgrade built by Filipinos for Filipinos.

### Smart energy storage

- Module: For the Grid

Our swap stations act as distributed energy storage, charging batteries off-peak to reduce grid strain and maximize renewable energy use.

## Case Studies
- **ADB e-trike pilot**: GerWeiss vehicles and operations became the reference model for the Asian Development Bank e-trike financing initiative in the Philippines.
- **Boracay fleet electrification**: In Boracay, GerWeiss supported the LGU of Malay in transitioning from fossil-fueled tricycles to a 100% e-trike ecosystem, with dedicated fast charging, solar charging, battery swapping, and local fleet maintenance for operators.
- **Coron, Palawan deployment**: GerWeiss delivered a full electric public transport ecosystem in Coron, Palawan, including more than 50 deployed units and supporting operating infrastructure.
- **Pasay City pilot**: GerWeiss is actively supporting a pilot test for in Pasay City for the revitalization of cooperative-owned electric tricycles.
