1500 watt units - cost only 13.49 PHP per 60 Kilometers |
Dear friend Father Fernando Suarez dropped by and gave an informal blessing to the GT Eco Center. |
We had business guests from Manila, the makers of the fabulous Electric Jeepney, Rommel Juan and Bong Cruz and they were able to meet Father for the first time. Their E-jeep is now plying the roads of Makati and other cities in the Philippines to help cut carbon emmissions. Thousands of people die of bronchial disease every year in Manila from breathing the air pollution caused by the gas belching vehicles.
The city of Puerto Princesa bought one of their electric jeepneys which is housed and dispatched from our Green Tech EcoCenter. Dave and I have been testing it and using it in the city's various parades to educate the public about electric vehicles and their benefits.

The mayor is a pioneer in researching and using electric Trikes and is trying to replace all of the gas belching tricycles on the roads now with electric versions. Dave Dewbre has been developing a few models to test on the roads of Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
