Tembo e-LV

09/10/2026

Every industry we’ve entered knows their operations better than we did.

🇵🇭 In the Philippines, Sarao Motors had been building public mobility jeepneys since the 1950s.
🐘 On safari, the guides knew exactly what their guests had travelled to hear.
⛏️ On mine sites, the crews judged every vehicle on the full shift.

So we listened and learned, with humility.

Sarao taught us that a jeepney’s chrome and hand-lettering are the jeepney’s identity, so they stayed. The safari guides, that the diesel engine was the one sound no tourists came for. And the mine crews, that a spec sheet means little until the shift is over with full utilization of the asset.

Projects like these keep reminding us of our values, and of why humility is one of them.

Remove the exhaust. Keep the adventure. 🌿

Tembo’s electric vehicle conversion for Asilia carries safari guests through the wild in near silence, with zero tailpipe emissions and more room for the sounds of nature.

Behind that experience is the TEMBO EUV e-power kit:

⚡ 156 kW peak motor power
⚙️ 330 Nm peak motor torque
🔌 CCS2 charging compatibility

Tembo retains the vehicle’s trusted chassis and replaces its diesel powertrain with electric drive. With on-site conversion, operators can give their existing fleet a new chapter while reducing running costs and maintenance requirements.

Data gathered during daily operations shows how Tembo vehicles perform in the field, day in, day out. Continuous telemetry and fault monitoring help operators plan charging and maintenance with confidence and respond to vehicle issues sooner.

Great to see the Sarao x Tembo electric jeepney’s 760 km Las Piñas to Albay round trip featured by Top Gear Philippines. 🇵🇭

The journey took the vehicle beyond the city, across expressways, provincial roads, steep climbs, winding routes and rough surfaces, bringing wider attention to what an electric jeepney can already do.

Thank you to Top Gear Philippines for sharing the story.

A true showcase of what the electrified ‘King of the Road’ can do. Read more in the comments.

Over approximately 760 km from Las Piñas City through Naga City to Albay and back, the Electric Jeepney was tested across expressways, provincial roads, sustained climbs, winding sections, rough surfaces and changing traffic conditions.

A practical test of efficiency, charging and longer-distance operation under real Philippine road conditions.

Building great electric vehicles is only part of the equation.

Long-term success depends on the ability to support them where customers operate.

Chris J. Mallios shares his perspective on why local industrial support may become one of the defining competitive advantages.

A note on where the electric utility-vehicle market may actually be decided.

Tembo is named after elephants.

The humble giants who never roar. Yet they cross the savanna, and the ground trembles.

That philosophy led us to the Tusker.

Engineered for the people who do the work because the work is theirs to do, and do it properly because doing it any other way simply isn't in them. Who excel for excellence itself, and craft for the craft. Who never announce, and deliver without needing to be seen. With resilience, and a cadence that doesn't break.
How do you honour people like that, other than in the craft itself?

Torque without exhaust. Power without vibration. A workhorse that doesn't shout about being one.

Strength without the noise.
