Uber’s #POOLSquad made a positive impact on the road and the environment

Traffic congestion is an everyday reality – anytime, anywhere, for everyone in Manila. With the help of uberPOOL, an innovative product that enables people going in the same direction at the same time to share the journey, Uber is reinventing #SquadGoals and inviting Filipinos to (car)pool together to save fuel, cut emissions and reduce kilometers driven on the road.

Through the #POOLSquad competition, in just three weeks, participating teams saved 703,000 kilometers and 33,000 liters of fuel and even reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 77 metric tons.

With celebrities, athletes, and social influencers as captains of the three squads, each team rallied their followers to use uberPOOL and help get more Filipinos into fewer cars. Riders could choose the squad they wanted to belong to:

Today Uber confirmed the winner of the #POOLSquad initiative – Squad MOVE – with the most kilometers saved by sharing rides on uberPOOL. Its top 50 riders were awarded up to 50 free uberPOOL rides. At the same time, Uber awarded 20 riders, regardless of squad, up to P10,000 worth of Uber credits for having the most number of rides taken during the competition’s duration. Top riders took almost 60 uberPOOL trips over the course of the 21-day campaign.

“#POOLSquad has proven that uberPOOL can significantly help in reducing traffic congestion in Metro Manila while dramatically reducing every riders carbon footprint,” said Uber Philippines General Manager, Laurence Cua. “We hope that more riders join us in this ridesharing revolution by requesting an uberPOOL ride. Together we can change our roads by getting more people into fewer cars.”

YouTuber Wil Dasovich from Squad Impact said: “I rarely attend social events or visit anyone after 4:00 PM mostly due to the intensity of traffic. It would be a lot better for everyone if we could do something about it.”

Sharing her view on carpooling and its effect on the environment, Squad Move member Kim Baranda shared, “Carpooling really does reduce the number of cars on the road. In few weeks’ time, thousands of cars have already been taken off the road.”

Former UAAP Season 75 Volleyball MVP Ara Galang of Squad Change adds, “Through carpooling, we are also able to help the environment through the reduction of our carbon footprint.”

Suzuki PH Free Car Checkup Service Campaign continues to benefit motorists nationwide

Suzuki @ Work,  the Free Check-Up Service Campaign (FCSC) which Suzuki Philippines Inc (SPH) launched in January 2014, has received overwhelming response and participation for the past two years and this year, SPH levels up on its after-sales service to help motorists to maintain their vehicles in tip-top condition. In cooperation with TOTAL Philippines Corporation, a free 15-point comprehensive checkup in more locations nationwide and at an extended period for both Suzuki and non-Suzuki vehicle owners.

As a special rainy day treat, the free service camp will be done simultaneously nationwide for two months. From July 25 to September 24, 2016, motorists can bring their cars for a free once-over at any Suzuki branch. Customers can also replace their wiper blades for as low as P250.00 and enjoy other discounts.

More Suzuki @ Work roll outs

Suzuki Auto Nueva Ecija was the first stopover of the Suzuki @ Work this year, where participants were able to take advantage of the free services plus exciting discounts last March. Several other dealerships, including the Suzuki Auto Iloilo last June, saw the positive response of motorists to the institutionalized 2-day service camp.

In 2015, a total of 690 customers benefitted from SPH’s free checkup service, a turnout that continues to inspire the company to sustain the campaign.

According to SPH Automobile General Manager Mr. Shuzo Hoshikura, “It gives us a sense of joy to conduct these series of service camps and treats to help our loyal patrons, and we appreciate their positive response. We promise to continue to bring and even improve our after-sales initiatives even as we keep on strengthening our market presence. Our 37% sales growth in the first half—a figure that’s higher than the industry mid-year growth of 27.1%–keeps us more enthusiastic about our campaigns. As such, we intend to hold more Suzuki @ Work in different locations until the end of the year.”

Aside from getting the 15-point free comprehensive checkup, customers can also score great discounts on spare parts and labor at every service camp. Friendly SPH sales advisors and technicians are always happy to assist customers. For inquiries, SPH may be reached through Customer Care Hotline: (02) 462-5000.
