Bacolod establishes ‘green routes’ for passenger e-jeepneys

The city government here has established two “green routes” that will exclusively use electric -jeepneys to transport passengers. Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said in an interview on Tuesday that at least eight e-jeepneys are now available for dry run for the Vista Alegre and Cabug loops. “I think this is the first in the country. We have eight e-jeeps ready to be deployed. They have obtained the certificate of compliance for registration,” Benitez said.

He said they can use the city’s charging station at the Bacolod City Government Center. “Eventually, they will pay similar to a gas station. The operators said they can save up to 60 percent of the operation cost if they will use e-jeeps,” he added. In July last year, Benitez signed an investment intention agreement with chairman Li Longde of the Chinese-Korean e-vehicle manufacturer Jiangsu Fengchuen New Energy Power Technology Co. Ltd. .
