As Sri Lanka continues to position itself as a responsible tourism destination, Hayleys Mobility Limited and Jetwing Travels are taking steps to make travel across the island more environmentally sustainable through the adoption of new-energy mobility solutions.
The collaboration focuses on reducing the environmental impact of ground transportation, an important component of the tourism experience, while preserving the comfort, reliability and service standards expected by both local and international visitors.
Shiromal Cooray, Chairman and Managing Director of Jetwing Travels, said:
“This investment is part of our continued effort to make responsible travel more tangible across every stage of the guest journey. By introducing plug-in hybrid technology to our fleet, we are taking a practical step towards reducing the environmental impact of ground transportation, while continuing to deliver the comfort, reliability and flexibility our guests expect when travelling across Sri Lanka.”
As part of the initiative, Hayleys Mobility has supplied 21 JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) to Jetwing Travels. The vehicles will be used by Jetwing Travels and Jetwing Journeys for airport transfers, excursions and longer tours across the country.
Hayleys Mobility is supported by its parent company, Hayleys Fentons Limited, the energy, mobility and projects arm of Hayleys PLC, Sri Lanka’s largest and most diversified conglomerate. The group’s engineering expertise, nationwide capabilities and established infrastructure provide a foundation for supporting the country’s evolving mobility requirements.
Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons Limited, said:
“Sustainable mobility must deliver both environmental and commercial value if it is to be adopted at scale. With approximately 90 kilometres of electric-only driving, a combined range of up to 1,200 kilometres and an estimated saving of around LKR 15 per kilometre compared with petrol-powered driving, the JAECOO J7 PHEV presents a strong proposition for high-mileage fleet operators.”
Ambeon Capital Joins Forces with Chennai-Based Multi-Family Office and Advisory Firm
Ambeon Capital PLC, the Colombo Stock Exchange-listed investment holding company, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Sincere Syndication and Corporate Services LLP and Avyukthi Consulting & Advisory Services LLP to establish collaborative investment desks in Colombo and Chennai.
The partnership aims to facilitate the movement of capital between Sri Lanka and India across a range of investment areas, including listed equities, private equity and credit, real estate and fixed income. The collaboration will also support opportunities involving mergers and acquisitions and strategic business partnerships.
The proposed investment desks will serve as dedicated platforms for deal origination, initial screening, research coordination, investor introductions and co-investment or referral opportunities.
The Colombo desk will be hosted by Ambeon or one of its affiliates, with a primary focus on facilitating investments into India and other mutually agreed markets, while also identifying investment opportunities within Sri Lanka. The Chennai desk will be hosted by Sincere Syndication, while Avyukthi will contribute expertise in tax, regulatory matters, transaction structuring, due diligence and advisory support.
As part of the collaboration, Ambeon is also working with its partners to establish a dedicated fund focused on Sri Lankan companies, in partnership with Sincere Syndication’s Bharat Transformation Fund.
The Bharat Transformation Fund is Sincere Syndication’s flagship pre-IPO and early post-IPO investment vehicle, targeting Indian businesses with transformative potential in sectors linked to national growth priorities. These include advanced manufacturing, defence and aerospace, deep technology, specialty healthcare and medical devices.
The proposed Sri Lanka fund is expected to provide a structured avenue for investment into both listed and privately held Sri Lankan companies, drawing on the complementary deal flow, research capabilities and investor networks of the partners across the two markets.
