High-tech rides to replace the jeepney

The public recently got a glimpse into the future of the Philippines’ distinctive mode of transportation, the jeepney. The government plans to replace all

old public utility vehicles (PUVs) aged 15 years or older with safer, environment-friendly jeepneys. As part of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle (PUV)

Modernization Program, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Department of Trade and Industry held an expo held last October showing prototypes of the new vehicles. Local manufacturers built prototype vehicles following DOTr specifications, which include Euro 4 engines or electrically powered engines with solar panels on the roofs. The new jeepneys are also expected to have safety features such as a speed limiter, a closedcircuit television camera, GPS, and dashboard camera. Fare See JEEPNEY p9
