Senatorial aspirant Luis “Manong Chavit” Singson has announced his directive to ramp up the production of electric jeepneys (e-jeepneys) to 500 units per month, alongside electric bikes and tricycles.
This initiative follows the successful launch of e-jeepneys by the LCSC Group last month and aims to transform the nation’s public transportation system. It aligns with the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) and supports the shift toward cleaner, more sustainable mobility solutions.
“We plan to produce an initial 500 e-jeepneys, about 2,000 e-bikes, and 1,000 e-tricycles monthly, with plans to increase production in the coming months,” Singson shared via text on Thursday.
Chavit added that each e-jeepney would cost ₱1.2 million, while the pricing for e-bikes and e-tricycles is still being finalized.
