November 2nd, 2009 02:44 PM #351Free e-jeepney rides offered in Makati
(The Philippine Star)
Updated November 02, 2009 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines – The Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC) and the [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Motor [COLOR=blue ! important]Vehicle[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) announced they will offer free rides in their electric jeepney or e-jeepney in Makati.
The City government of Makati will offer starting early this month free e-jeepney rides in two routes, the Legaspi Village loop and the Salcedo Village loop. Both routes will start and end at the Landmark Department Store area along Makati Avenue with a 10-second dwelling time in each of the 15 stops in each loop.
The project is expected to dramatically reduce noise and air pollution in Makati as the e-jeepney does not emit either noise or harmful exhaust emissions.
The locally-assembled e-jeepney is the very first electric vehicle ever granted a license plate by the Land Transportation Office.
It was recognized by Discovery Channel’s Ecopolis as “the new modern [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]transport[/COLOR][/COLOR] technology with the best chance of saving the world’s cities from pollution problems.”
It was also awarded a Fr. Satur Neri Award by the Presidential Adviser on Climate Change during this year’s Earth Day celebrations. – Ma. Elisa Osorio

The Makati activity for the e-jeepney will help in popularizing the vehicle.
I hope this will be duplicated in areas where e-jeepneys are present: Bacolod and Puerto Princesa!
I hope e-jeepneys will also be used in Boracay and other resorts!
Congrats to the e-jeepney proponents and good work Romski123!.

Magaling sa magaling yung ejeepney pero hindi ako ganun naniniwala na tatagal yung mga e-jeepney sa paggamit sa biyahe. Eh kasi naman kung mga regular na jeepney hindi masyadong na alagaan, eh paano pa yug high-tek na e-jeepney? Sino yung mag-aayos kung may nasira dito? Baka din mahal magpaayos kasi yung nag-benta lang ang may pyesa ng mga ito?

This is my reply.
Di ba lahat ng uri ng saskyan pag hindi naalagaan hindi magtatagal?
Sino sa palagay mo ang mag-aayos ng mga e-jeepney na pag-aari ng mga operators nito?
Lahat halos ng piyesa ng auto mahal lalo yung mga bagong sasakyan at hi-tech. Ang e-jeepney kokonti parts so siguro hindi kamahalan.
Yun nga lang ang baterya na tama ka may kamahalan ng konti.

Pero hindi ba yung presyo ng pagbili ng isang e-jeepney halos pareho na din sa isang regular na jeepney?
Tapos sabi mo sa kakaunti lang yung pyesa ng isang e-jeepney.
Hindi ba tama lang na ibig sabihin na yung kakaunti na pyesa na sa e-jeepney ay mamahalin?
Kasi lang naman, yung pyesa sa mga regular na jeepney ay di naman ganun kamahal bilin kung may kailangan palitan.

JPDM, proper battery management lang ang kailangan niyan para tumagal... and probably baka makapaglabas na rin ng lithium polymer versions (more power and lighter).
hopefully baka magkaroon na rin ng coreless/brushless motors (more powerfull pero consumes less energy and very low maintenance) sa future para sa mga e-vehicles...
"baby-steps" lang muna...

mas masasagot ni Romski ang price issue... I think kung ipa-factor ang fuel usage.. baka mas mura pa rin ang e-jeepney....

Mas mahal na kaunti sa regular na jeepney ang e-jeepney. Kasi brand new talaga ang e-jeepney. Yung regular jeepney yung makina at transmission luma at surplus na. Kaya magkaiba presyo.
Mga electric vehcles mas mahal talaga sa regular na sasakyan. Pero mas environemtal friendly kumpara sa mga jeepney.
Inamin naman ng gumagawa ng e-jeepney na hindi nila mapapalitan ang jeepney lalo yung malalayo ang ruta pero yung mga intercity (short routes) puede. Institutions, government centers, schools and industrial estates ang target nila.
