PHILLIPPINES ELECTRIC COMMERICAL VEHICLE MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Though there has been talk of sustainable or cleaner electricity from renewable Sources, policies need to be strengthened to encourage actual investment in and use of greener technologies.

There are also smaller-scale efforts on the adoption of EVs launched by Local Government Units (LGUs) as well as enterprises like as resorts. The government is also considering adding electric vehicles to its fleet.

Unlike in other countries, the EV personal car market is modest and geared at the upper crust, accounting for only about 1% of the total EV market.

PHILLIPPINES ELECTRIC COMMERICAL VEHICLE MARKET DEVELOPMENTS AND INNOVATIONS

Because to the country’s economic growth, a lack of public transportation options to jeepers and tricycles, and government backing through programmes and legislation, the Philippines EV market will grow dramatically over the next decade.

OEMs’ new EV launches and the construction of charging points are projected to boost growth even more. Limited charging and road infrastructure, a lack of a defined supply chain for batteries and parts, ambiguity about standards and regulations, and ownership and usage control restrictions are all expected to provide challenges to the market.

Euro-4 certified vehicles or electric vehicles can be used as substitutes. There are almost 180,000 jeepers in use across the country that need to be upgraded, with the EV sector aiming to replace 10% of them.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE PHILLIPPINES ELECTRIC COMMERICAL VEHICLE MARKET

The Philippines’ electric vehicle (EV) market continues to grow, with industry and government working together to encourage EV adoption in the country.

In terms of the energy sector, the proposed legislation aims to develop an entire ecosystem that supports electric vehicles by forcing the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) to construct an Electric Vehicle Roadmap as part of the Philippine Energy Plan. It will involve infrastructure for charging as well as fiscal and non-fiscal incentives.

BEMAC Corporation is a leading mobiliser of the various explorer oriented electric vehicle manufacturer requirements in the market. The E-TRIKE low-speed EVs were developed with the goal of enhancing local surroundings and creating new job prospects, and the first “1” prototype car was finished in 2013.

In the same year, we became the first Japanese business to get a vehicle registration plate number for a three-wheeled electric vehicle in the Philippines, and they began performing local road tests.

Tojo Motors has been one of the most advanced solution provider in the used car requirements. The MANDARAGIT type is the company’s best – known vehicle for the PUV Modernization Program’s Class 2 category.

It is equipped with a conventional 15KW Induction Generator for a high-power, low-consumption program that enables drivers to operate the vehicle with ease. The scheme is appropriate for short-range and intra-city routes with low passenger volume and is powered by a 7.5KW AC Induction Motor.
