    But redesigning the jeepney is just one factor.

    The other is how jeepneys are deployed.

    Dapat based on a timetable / schedule, not jeepneys leaving the terminal only when it is full.

    Dapat merong GPS tracking so jeepneys keep a proper distance from other jeepneys / buses so they won't bunch up and clog jeepney / bus stops. Result: bottlenecks will be minimized at jeepney / bus stops and traffic flow will improve.
    developing hybrid diesels will take years..

    using current clean diesel solutions is the only solution imo.

    solar puvs wont last long...imo

    Some people here dont know their physics

    No 2 matters can occupy the same space

    The heavier the load requires more energy to move

    Batteries dont last forever, diesel engines last forever in this country

    Jeepney drivers intentionally clog lanes in order to get all the passengers on the road

    Its a boundery system prevailing on our public transpo system

    An improvement over the typical jeepney. Plastic window covers? Walang air-con?

    The hybrid system is ideal for a jeepney in a traffic congested city.

    Stop and go traffic --> most of the time the vehicle is not moving --> small engine charges battery.

    Energy is stored until it is released for zoom zoom.

    This is how a small engine can make a big heavy jeepney go.

    Within the laws of physics.

    Battery technology is the weak point.

    Phaseout? Face it, jeepneys here to stay and shine, says Sarao scion | Inquirer.net
    by Jovic Yee, Lyn Rillon
    April 23, 2017

    “I was still a kid running around in shorts when they first talked about that (phaseout),’’ said Edgardo (Sarao), 56. “I don’t believe it because they don’t have anything better to offer. They say we must go electric, be more environment-friendly. Why not? We want that, too. But where will we get our materials?”

    In his view, the government must help jeepney manufacturers cope with the modernization program by developing and upgrading the country’s local automotive industry.

    One thing the family has learned while keeping this quintessential Filipino company afloat, Edgardo said, is the value of patience—the reward that awaits those who stick to what they do best. This, and a strong faith in God.

    “We are here to stay to serve the people,” he said. “The jeepneys will not disappear because you can’t keep a good product down.”

    "Patience" and "strong faith in God"? How about making a better product?

    The Japanese follow Kaizen (continuous improvement). We have "pwede na iyan" and "bahala na."

    What donbuggy was describing is the system used in diesel trains.

    A diesel running at a set rpm/load will always be more efficient than otherwise. Run it like a Prius... connect it to the wheels via a planetary drive or even direct drive. Geared so that at 2k rpm, it's doing 40-60 km/h. Doesn't need to go any faster.

    At lower speeds, traction motors assist the engine, running off a generator attached to the engine. The generator will only charge capacitors, with a minimum amount of deep cycle batteries.

    As for what you'd do with the engine while at a stop?

    Aircon.

    -

    Other proposals for commercial industrial hybrids use hydraulic hybrid systems, that forego expensive batteries and store energy as hydraulic pressure.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    bakit ba kelangan tulungan ng government ang jeepney industry?
