Electric vehicle group backs incentives for e-motorcycles
The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) has expressed support for the giving of incentives for electric motorcycles along with their localized production in the future.
According to EVAP President Edmund Araga, giving incentives to e-motorcycles should be welcomed as it would help with the “electrification” of Philippine transportation. It will be welcome on our part kung bibigyan din sila [e-motorcycles] kung mabibigyan din sila ng exception. Kasi sa ngayon, wala pa talagang legit na makakagawa sa amin ng e-motorcycles, in particular. And that this would be a good opportunity... kung sakaling ipu-push ang e-motorcycles,” Araga said in a press release.
“Kung mag-iimport sila [dapat] mayroong direksyon o directives na maglo-localize sila in a number of years after importing the units para magkaroon naman ng job creations and the capabilities of Filipino craftmanship and skills, ma-enhance,” Araga said.
