 Issues and Concerns
(Identified by the Interim Working Group)
Decreasing number of registered Auto-LPG taxis;
Registration of converted LPG-fed taxis as gasoline-fed at
LTO;
Need for Safety Protocols on the use of Auto-LPG;
Recognition on the need for capacity building of stakeholders,
Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and Land Transportation
Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) focal personnel
on inspection, safety and emergency response;
Resealing of converted LPG-fed taxis at LTFRB without
proper technical inspection; and
Need for a pool of skilled Auto-LPG Technicians.

Market Transformation through Introduction of Energy
Efficient Electric Vehicles

Objectives:
- To encourage the adoption of electric tricycles
as public transport

- To reduce dependence in conventional fuels

- To achieve emission avoidance

Page 25
Electric vehicles estimated cost:
- Php 200,000 to 490,000 for E-Trikes
- Php 700,000 to 1,000,000 for E-Jeeps
- Php 8 Million for E-Bus
- Php 15,000 to 40,000 for e-bikes & e-
scooters
Environmental Benefits:
- No tail pipe emission
- Less NOISE and VIBRATIONS which
enhances passenger comfort
Technological Benefits:
- Has few moving parts
- Charging can be done overnight when
electricity demand is low
