Stakeholders await PBBM’s okay of NEDA recommendation to give tax breaks to e-motorcycles

‘We are promoting a cleaner, more resilient, and more environmentally friendly transportation alternative’

During NEDA’s 16th Board Meeting on Wednesday, the agency said that its Board deliberated to approve the proposal of the Committee on Tariff and Related Matters to expand EO12’s coverage until 2028, which also removes the tariff for e-motorcycles, e-bicycles, and nickel metal hydride accumulators. E-motorcycles’ zero emissions are one of their most emphasized traits, as the transportation sector alone is responsible for emitting 35.42 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2022, which contributes to climate change, data from Statista showed.

Two of them, think tank Stratbase ADR Institute and advocacy network CitizenWatch Philippines, have been actively campaigning for tax breaks for e-motorcycles since 2023, noting their benefits to the country, environment, and economy once integrated into the country’s traffic.
