"e-Jeepney" - The electric powered jeepney

[jpdm]

Yes sir im talking about the China-made e-jeepney,am i OT?hehehehe

if na modify na po at na improve ung mga features ng e-jeepney na gawa ng MVPMAP mas maganda po for the safety of the commuters and also it will generate jobs for Pinoys cos it is made locally,cos ung mga e-jeepney po na binigay ng GRIPP sa Bacolod city like also na binigay nila sa Makati ay China-made po un at talagang hindi maganda yung pgka gawa at delikado ka sa daan.nasa univeristy pa po nmin ung isa til now di na gnamit sa city ng Bacolod maybe it fails the evaluation.

Yup.

Actually thats the reason why PHUV, Inc and MVPMAP came up with their own version of the e-jeepney because of the spotty workmanship of the original e-jeepney brought from China.

Mas maganda yung version ng MVPMAP, mukaha pa ngang darna..hehehe

Anyway, more power to PHUV, Inc. I think they will come up with a e-tricycle also.

My mistake. Anyway, I hope that MVPMAP or Tsikot PHUV learns from the China e-Jeepney to avoid its problems. Apply the Hein Test during the prototype stage. Assume that someone with a critical eye such as Tsikoteer Hein sees and drives the vehicle. What comments will that person make? Fix the problems before introducing the vehicle to the public.

hehehe okay thanx

im concerned kasi sa safety ng mga passengers if nka labas na bumiyahi ang mga e-jeepney na made in China,im glad that the MVPMAP redesign and improved the features of the China made e-jeepney. Yung G-Car pwede din cgro gawin e-tricycle yun?maganda pa sa porma hehe

lost focus..china e-jeepney vs. local jeepney or mvpmap e-jeepney ang pinagtatapat dito. hindi di ba?

hindi tricycle vs e-jeepney..
tsaka not about which is "not safe" but about which is "safer"
alin nga ba?

per hindi naman yata safety ang number one requirement. yari.

[kinyo]

ewan ko lang ha ... pero sa tingin ko, yung nagsasabing hindi safe ang chinese e-jeepney, sila yung wala sa focus

[SIZE=3]BOI To Give Perks[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]To E-Vehicle Assembly
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]The Board of Investments (BOI) will grant incentives to the assembly of the first-locally produced electric vehicles being led by a consortium of automotive parts manufacturers, according to BOI managing head Elmer C. Hernandez.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Hernandez said the BOI supports this pioneering venture of the Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) and wants to ensure its long-term viability. However, Hernandez notes the need for the parts makers to expand their lineup and market not only for mass movement but for personal use as well.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]"We are the first in Asia to produce an electric vehicle and we should build on that advantage," he said.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]In their recent meeting, Hernandez told officials of the MVPMAP that their individual and collective investments in manufacturing, past and present would easily meet the minimum investment hurdle set by the BOI for companies seeking to become participants of the Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP).[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]To enjoy incentives under the Investment Priorities Plan, an assembler has to be a registered participant of the MVDP and has to comply with certain requirements.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]One of these requirements is to manufacture motor vehicle parts and components for both export and domestic markets, equivalent to $8 million for commercial vehicle.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]"They can qualify their previous investments, and they can pool the investments to meet that requirement," Hernandez said.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]He added that the electric vehicle has almost 100 percent local content. The group is producing 5 to 10 units per month, mainly electric jeepneys which they supply to local government units.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]"If they want to expand the market¸ they should not limit themselves to mass transport. We talked about the technical specs of the vehicle and it’s possible that they can develop one for personal use of private owners, as shuttle inside subdivisions or for short trips," Hernandez said.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Hernandez said the vehicle is priced competitively but did not specify. [/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Hernandez said with the surging prices of gasoline, the electric vehicle is a cheaper alternative even if it uses electric power.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]He said carbon emission is net of 50 percent as it is plugged into electricity.
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]MVPMAP formed the [SIZE=4]PhUV Inc. [/SIZE]as the proponent of the e-jeepney. It is composed of over 125 manufacturers of local automotive parts that supply the local parts requirements of the Philippine auto industry.
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Some of the e-eepneys were dispersed to the cities of Makati, Puerto Princesa, Bacolod and Baguio. Another is now also serving the students of De La Salle University in Dasmarinas, Cavite.
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]The e-jeepney is the very first locally designed, fabricated and assembled electric vehicle to be actually put on the road. [/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]The e-jeepney can carry up to 14 passengers for a two-hour ride before it needs to recharge. Perfect for shuttle service, this 5kw jeepney has a manual stickshift with a 4-speed feature. (Irma Isip)[/SIZE][/SIZE]
