Transport regulations are being written for the replacement of current, polluting, unhealthy, petrol and diesel tricycles. In Manila City, Quezon City, and Pasig the Department of Energy and the LGU have purchased and provided e-trikes to local operators. Repayment is covered by a boundary system – daily rental fee. E-Trikes are no longer directly purchased by the Department of Energy, and less so by LGU’s. However, these departments are fundamental to the endorsement of e-trikes as a replacement for the current tricycles and community wellbeing through sustained clean air.
