The LTO will issue orange plates for these environment-friendly vehicles which are now classified as low speed vehicles with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

E-jeepneys cost 625,000 pesos a unit, while reconditioned diesel engine jeepneys cost from 700,000 to 800,000 pesos, depending on how many passengers it can carry.

First things first. Find a production method which would give finished vehicles curves. What is the point of trying to push PHUV if all you will produce are vehicles which look like cardboard boxes on wheels?

I agree that a cardboard box with proper doors is an improvement over the old jeepney style design (no doors anywhere) but I think doors on cars isn't anything new these days.

Even the old Ford Model T already had proper doors.

Hmmmm, indeed, the Model T is a cardboard box with proper doors.....

Anyway, the e-jeepney still looks better than this..

Looks can be deceiving.

The e-jeepney can be compared to a lightweight extended golf cart that is only better than the traditional jeepney in the fact that it uses electricity. Other than that, they are about the same, open air, no doors, pure lack of any safety in design.

Well, at least you agree with me that the e-jeepney or e-PHUV is still better than a dirty (smoke belching) rickety jeepney..

They are in fact clean (no emission) and good for the environment!
