Can't find any pictures online.
Side note: PhilStar's website needs a lot of work. Search doesn't work and navigation was a bit confusing. Bonus points for the RSS feeds.

Mugshot!
ang bilis magpost ah!
alam ko imported yang e-jeep, nabasa ko yan mga last month (kailangan kasi ng newspaper clippings) hehe, iimport galing sa china ang mga ganyan
ang galing nito sobra. almost too good to be true, in fact. for some reason i surmise that there would be less traffic offenders from the jeepney drivers if they drove an e-jeepney. hehe. however, i am much intrigued about what the jeepney drivers' association have to say. im sure may mga setback pa din. the cost of maintenance, resilience of jeepney parts against harsh whether and environmental conditions (heat, rain, flood--sobrang bumabaha pa naman sa ilang parte na makati). also, hindi kaya takaw-nakaw yung mga parts ng jeepney na to.
pero galing talaga. i do hope we could have an e-jeepney over, dito sa dlsc, and have someone talk about it/demonstrate how it works. galeng!!! 2 thumbs up!
Sana itrade na lang yung L300 ng DLS-C sa isang e-jeepney. Hahaha!
Hindi nga. Seryoso. Ang usok ng van na yun e. Parang binabawi lang ng van na yun yung mga tinatanim natin na puno e. Pano kaya yun nakalusot sa emission testing?
Or para masyabang Pinoy, gumawa tayo ng sarili natin (see #6).
Two points:
Maybe somebody else can write it then I'll
helpsabotage it or maybe co-sign it (kaso walang maitutulong ang pirma ko, baka laway, pwede pa).We can take it a notch up with the jeepney using Bepots for payment. That's something I'd want to be part of.
Okay, maybe the Student Council can spearhead?
Yep. Sino nga ba yung president? Or kahit environmental ekla-churva?
A couple of questions:
- Ilang batteries ang kakailanganin natin?
- Kung para sa shuttle, kailangan ba kasing laki ng shuttle ngayon? Pwede bang masmaliit?
- Masokay ba kung yung distance na covered ay roundtrip DLS-C to Caltex plus slack?
- San tayo makakuha ng battery?
- Pwede kaya makuha yung battery ng libre (for academic/research purposes)?
- Eto kakaisip ko lang: pwede kaya half padjak, half battery-powered? Hahahaha
- Medyo di na related: pwede kaya parang tram? Less energy ba ang kailangan nun?
Sino pa may ideas?Eto kakaisip ko lang: pwede kaya half padjak, half battery-powered? Hahahaha
parang Moped... or Flintsones (panay padyak! haha!)
Masokay ba kung yung distance na covered ay roundtrip DLS-C to Caltex plus slack?
Sana nga mas mahaba pa ang coverage.
Kapag nag-agree ang school, maybe an agreement with the government or at least the advocates of the e-jeepney regarding discounts, disclosure of tech specs, etc. Napakagandang marketing nito para sa e-jeepney, at napakalaking tulong nito sa atin din, at syempre sa environment...
Calling STUDENT COUNCIL... pwede bang gawing priority project ito?
BTW, magkano ba talaga to? Sabi dun sa isa 500k daw, yung isa naman 380k.
(panay padyak! haha!)
Ah ganito na lang. Kapag gabi na, kailangan nang magpadyak para umilaw yung headlights. Hahaha!
Found more links:
Tinawagan ko na rin sila (Greenpeace). Yung jeepney ay 7,000 Euros (438,605 Pesoses according to XE). Galing daw China dahil buong unit yung ginawa. Tapos yung parang power plant na ginagamit nila ay Anaerobic Digester (uses kitchen waste according to a quick google). 150,000 Euros daw (9,397,660 Pesoses). Meron din silang binili na depot. Yung daw yung pang-charge ng batteries, di ko nanote yung price.
Yung batteries naman ay industry-grade deep cycle batteries. Meron naman daw manufacturers dito pero baka partner nila yung sa China. Ang goal talaga daw ng e-Jeepney ay mareplicate to kaya willing talaga sila tumulong.
Meron silang list ng manufacturers for renewable energy sources, hinihintay ko na lang sa mail. Kasama na rin dun yung contact details ng GRIPP (yung gumawa ng e-Jeepney) baka makatulong daw. Di kasi sure kung pwede idisclose yung tech specs.
