I saw a Japan surplus truck importer that seems to be quite popular in Facebook. I believe G-Tecnica is the name. Part of their advertising is that their trucks are Euro 4 already. It appears that Euro 4 Japan surplus engines are already available. That should significantly lessen the cost of modernization.

modernization is not only about the engine.

-integrating the beep card;

-better ingress and egress;

-cctv in all public vehicles including dashcams;

-gps;

- better seats etc, the list goes on and on.

point is there are jeepney cooperatives that did succeed like the one in marikina despite the added cost.

problem is the operator wants to milk these old jeepney till 500 years.

True, but are those others also requirements?

I had always thought that Clean Air Act compliance was the only non negotiable item.

And then again, those jeepney operators would most definitely already have regained their investment on their rickety 30 year old jeepneys decades ago.

for the severly old jeepney yes- there is a criteria kung pwede engine change pero after a couple of years papalitan na or new built.

they are contesting the newly built.

tama ka, kaya nga nagugulat ako pati yung mga nagmamagaling na educated na tao eh ayaw kasi ganito or bigyan ng funds na haos libre na instead of building a proper mass transit system. point is, kumita na sila, at gusto pang gawin milking cow ang old jeeps na in the first place mga surplus engine na... when is the right time to replace them? hard truth naman kasi, the business of public convenience should never be for them.

As I posted earlier... My family used to own PUVs...

Here's the thing with Euro-4 engines...

Operators will keep on reducing the "tech" attached to the engine. It will work with almost 60% of the power.
Less "tech" means lesser maintenance.

I remember even removing the engine's turbo and modifying the cooling system.

If an Operator decides to use a proper Euro-4 engine... The Jeep's brakes will not be enough to stop the vehicle.

Then there's the "conversion plate" as most modern engines are automatic
Mis-matched Tranny and Differential.

It is just more economical to just replace the Jeeps with modern mini-buses.

as it should be.

first a modern mini bus cost like 2.7m - hyundai county.

no idea where some get the figures that the modern jeepney cost like 2m- maybe for the up'd spec'd versions. but for the basic it's like 1- 1.2 m depending on the capacity- with that youget the proper ingress and egress

no way jeepney operators can afford maintenance on newer diesel engines na may computer box/electronics

pag may sira di kaya ng mga mekaniko marunong lang sa lumang diesel engine like 4BA1/4BC1/4BC2/4D30/31/32

If it is not just one or two jeeps under the coop/operator group/company, then it would make sense for them to train in house mechanics in that regard right to check/maintain their vehicles, right?

I'm a bit uncertain if we can expect them to rely with the "casa mechanics"/maintenance, even if they send over their trained mechanics to the yard as they'd most likely cost more, regardless for the type/quality of work expectations.
