Autokid Mobility Solutions—formerly known as Autokid Truck Solutions—began the way many Filipino SMEs do, with grit, a small team, and a clear belief in delivering reliable transport solutions to a growing market.
Autokid Founders Marvin Tiu Lim, Kevin McHale Yao, and Eric Darryl Lim lead the company’s digital drive, steering Autokid to new heights through innovation and technology.
What began as a business focused on trucks has since grown into a provider of complete mobility solutions—spanning buses, heavy equipment, and more. From its early beginnings to becoming a leading mobility provider with 16 branches nationwide, its journey mirrors that of thousands of SMEs driving the Philippine economy forward: agile, ambitious, and constantly evolving to scale with the times
Today, Autokid is a testament to how PLDT Enterprise’s strengthened support for SMEs accelerates growth across the country.
SMEs Cannot Afford Downtime—PLDT Enterprise Knows This
Founded by Kevin McHale Yao, Marvin Tiu Lim, and Eric Darryl Lim, Autokid saw early the immense opportunity in the Philippines’ expanding infrastructure and logistics sectors. But like many SMEs, growth brought operational challenges that required them to modernize quickly—managing multiple branches, serving more customers, and improving after-sales support.
Connectivity became the backbone of Autokid’s expansion. Over the years, connectivity has powered the company’s industry-first centralized action center, enabling fast and coordinated customer service across branches. It also supports IoT fleet monitoring, which is essential for real-time tracking and safety, as well as digital onboarding and coaching sessions that help upskill branch employees. Day-to-day branch-to-branch operations—from inventory coordination to after-sales requests—are also made possible through dependable connectivity.
For Eric Darryl Lim, Co-Founder and EVP of Autokid, technology is not just a tool but a commitment to people. “Efficiency has always been about making life better for our customers,” Lim shared. “We want their businesses to flow faster, give them better choices, and help them earn more. Digital solutions—and the right partner—allow us to do that.”
This is where PLDT Enterprise’s SME-focused programs play a pivotal role.
