Castrol Invests in Gogoro to push smart mobility ahead

Castrol, a global lubricants leader under the bp umbrella, has made a strategic investment of up to USD 50 million in Gogoro, a trailblazing company specializing in battery-swapping infrastructure for electric two-wheelers. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering smart mobility solutions, particularly in urban environments.

By acquiring a substantial 5.72% stake in Gogoro through an initial investment of USD 25 million, Castrol signals its confidence in the company's innovative business model. The potential for a second, equivalent investment is contingent upon the successful realization of joint business initiatives.

Gogoro has solidified its position as a dominant force in Taiwan's burgeoning electric two-wheeler market. Their expansive network of over 12,500 battery-swapping stations has facilitated millions of swaps, demonstrating the viability and efficiency of their approach. This success, coupled with a focus on both individual consumers and businesses, has propelled Gogoro to the forefront of the electric mobility revolution.

Through this collaboration, Castrol aims to diversify its portfolio and contribute to a sustainable future by supporting the adoption of electric vehicles. As the world transitions towards cleaner transportation options, this partnership positions both companies at the forefront of shaping the urban mobility landscape.
