E-Vehicle Alliance sets 4th Electric Vehicle Summit

Posted on February 18, 2015

MANILA, Feb. 18 (PNA) — The Electric Vehicle Alliance (EVA) is now gearing up for the 4th Electric Vehicle Summit that will be held at the Meralco Multi-purpose Hall in Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City from February 26-27, 2015.

Electric Vehicle Alliance is composed of the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), Meralco and Clean Air Initiative Asia (CAI Asia).

EVAP president Rommel Juan said that for this year’s EV Summit, EVA has chosen the theme: “Sustaining the gains in Philippine electric vehicle development.”

He said the summit will offer business professionals and vehicle industry experts the opportunity to learn the latest advances in EV technology, network with colleagues both here and abroad and exchange ideas regarding electric vehicle technology and sustainable mobility.

“We also expect some business partnerships to be forged between foreign and local EV players during this event,” Juan said.

“We will review the contributions that EVs have made and continue to make toward healthier living spaces by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We will likewise seek to bring together relevant stakeholders from vehicle parts and components, manufacturing, assemblers, information and communications systems companies, energy companies, electric utilities, systems integrators as well as representatives from government and academia. We hope to share ideas, to collaborate, and to co-develop initiatives for making sustainable mobility a reality,” he further explained.

Juan noted that foreign investments in joint venture with local EV players have taken off the ground.

“Several local manufacturing facilities of electric tricycles are in place and off-site charging stations have been set up. Many institutions have adopted the use of e-jeepneys for mass transport applications such as the Eco Loop in Filinvest Alabang, the DLSU (De La Salle University) E-Jeepney Ikot at its Dasmarinas campus and Ateneo’s E-Jeepney system with a dedicated charging station put up by Meralco inside Ateneo’s Katipunan campus,” he mentioned.

With these gains that they will sustain, Juan said EVA targets that more foreign investments will continue to pour into the local EV industry and in the very near future, make the Philippines the EV manufacturing hub in the region.

“Some foreign EV investors are on the lookout for local partners, especially in the manufacturing and assembly sectors and we just need to show them that we can do it,” Juan said.(PNA)
