[SIZE=4]MVPMAP[/SIZE] on the other hand, through [SIZE=4]PhUV Inc.[/SIZE], is fortifying its position as the pioneering organization that will not only help rekindle the Philippine auto manufacturing industry but will also push for sustainable and environment-friendly communities.

"This advocacy started when we locally designed in 2006 and developed in 2007 the Philippine Utility Vehicle (PhUV) to prove that given the opportunity and the resources, the Pinoy engineer can design and build a truly Pinoy vehicle.

The PhUV Program has been in the Investment Priority Plan (IPP) of the Board of Investments since 2007.

This e-jeepney is just a reincarnation of the PhUV as a pioneering endeavor under the IPP", Mr. Raquelsantos says.

MVPMAP members are excited to supply their locally-assembled parts to both the e-jeepneys and the e-trikes for its forthcoming mass production.

"This will ensure the availability of after-sales parts and service for the vehicle. Even Pres. Arroyo has shown much interest in the electric vehicle program when we and our Chinese partners presented this to her in China.

Things are looking brighter and this we hope will finally put the Philippines at the forefront of electric vehicle development in this part of the globe", he concludes.

PhUV Inc. is the first to locally design, fabricate, assemble and actually put on the road a locally-assembled electric vehicle, the e-jeepney.
