Fancy Green Van in the Philippines


This green van which appears to be electric was seen in Quezon City in the Philippines. It's painted similar to how passenger jeepneys of the country are decorated. On the side is a picture of Mayor Herbert Bautista, who recently won in the elections. Does this mean that Quezon City residents will be seeing more of this kind of vehicle? Who will be using it? In Cubao, electric vans ferry shoppers between the Ali Mall and Gateway Mall.

Promoting green technology is something that cities in the Philippines can benefit from because the country is one that has very polluted roads from inefficient combustion engines used by commuter vehicles like the jeepney. Ideally, the country has to have a law that will require jeepney and bus engines to pass a strict quality assurance test that will minimize emissions. There is already a Clean Air Act, but so far, no one seems to be acting on it and the roads remain as polluted as ever as a result of vehicular smoke.
