Mobius is a pioneering startup in the clean energy sector, focusing on developing solutions for the cold chain logistics industry—a field notorious for high fuel consumption and significant carbon emissions, yet lacking in comprehensive innovation. On its journey toward a more efficient and sustainable operational model for commercial fleets, Mobius has developed a solar-powered refrigeration system that replaces traditional diesel engines, saving between 8,000 and 15,000 liters of fuel per vehicle per year. This achievement not only offers clear operational cost benefits but also opens up sustainable transformation opportunities for the entire cold transport industry.
At the core of Mobius‘ technology lies an integrated system comprising batteries, inverters, and solar panels that power refrigeration units mounted on trucks and specialized trailers. Instead of running diesel engines continuously throughout the transportation of perishable goods, Mobius‘ solution harnesses renewable energy, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution. Crucially, it requires no major structural modifications to existing vehicles, making it easy for logistics companies to integrate into their current fleets. Compared to other fuel-efficient refrigeration technologies that still rely on internal combustion engines, Mobius‘ solution stands out for its genuine sustainability and lower long-term operational costs.
What sets Mobius apart is not just its technological capabilities but its product development philosophy: a firm stance against “greenwashing” in the energy sector. The startup avoids superficial green branding and instead focuses on creating genuine environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle—from manufacturing and operation to end-of-life disposal. This approach demands serious investment in R&D, real-world testing, and a commitment to transparency in measuring environmental performance—something not all tech startups can consistently deliver.
The early success of Mobius was demonstrated at the P4G Vietnam Summit 2025, where it showcased its clean refrigeration solution and attracted interest from international organizations and regional investors. The event offered a rare opportunity for a Vietnamese energy startup to connect with strategic partners and explore global market expansion. Through connections made at the summit, Mobius is steadily working toward its goal of becoming a leader in sustainable cold chain solutions, particularly in developing countries where transportation infrastructure is often environmentally unfriendly and still holds significant room for improvement.
One key takeaway from Mobius for other founders in the innovation ecosystem is the importance of building practical, readily integrable solutions. Technology only delivers real value when it addresses an actual problem, can be quickly deployed, and shows clear economic impact. Furthermore, the ability to connect with support networks—from acceleration programs and investment funds to multilateral platforms—plays a vital role in positioning a startup on the international stage.
The journey of Mobius proves that innovation doesn’t have to start with far-fetched ideas or promises of futuristic breakthroughs. Instead, it can stem from a keen observation of real-world issues, the selection of appropriate technologies, and a commitment to developing genuinely sustainable products. As the global economy increasingly prioritizes environmental performance and efficiency, startups like Mobius are helping reshape the future of traditional industries—beginning with something as tangible as a solar-powered refrigerated truck.
With innovative solutions and a strong commitment to sustainability, Mobius is striving to contribute to the transformation of the cold transport industry, moving toward a cleaner and more efficient future.
