A group of electric vehicle manufacturers has gained headway to the mainstream e-vehicle usage in the public mass transport.
Vehicle Association of the Philippines president Rommel Juan said his group started serving the Las Piñas-Cavite route.
“We are happy that Las Piñas is very aggressive in promoting green transport. The extensive use of e-jeepneys as an environment-friendly alternative to traditional diesel-fueled PUJs is a testament to this commitment. We just hope more LGUs will follow suit,” he said.
Electric jeepneys will ply the new alternate route from Las Piñas to Cavite, or the Zapote River drive.
The new three-kilometer road stretches from Lundos and Pamplona I and transverses the Zapote River drive.
Motorists and commuters are given another option to avoid the perennial heavy traffic along Zapote Road.
MetroExpress Connect Inc., a transport operator in Las Piñas, is one of several e-jeepney operators that will provide pollution-free ride to commuters using the new route.
