Philippine commuters get free rides on electric vehicles
No commentsDiesel-powered vehicles are a major source of air pollution and carbon emissions in Metro Manila. Could electric vehicles be one solution to the problem?
Green groups and the local government of Makati City, a main financial hub in the Philippine capital, recently launched a fleet of 10 electric jeepneys or e-jeepneys that will ply two routes in the city’s main business district. The e-jeepneys will provide fare-free and emission-free public transport for commuters.
