Electric tricycles or e-trikes will now be a common sight in five military camps following the donation of such eco-friendly vehicles to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Thursday.
The Department of Energy donated 50 e-trikes for distribution to five military camps for the transportation of soldiers, their dependents, civilian employees, churchgoers, tourists, and guests inside these camps.
Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, Camp Aquino in Tarlac, Camp Nakar in Quezon, Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija, and Sangley Point in Cavite are among the camps identified to get their e-trikes, charging stations, routes, rules, and provisions regarding the use and services of these vehicles.
“Serving the nation becomes a fulfilling experience when we see that we have partner agencies such as the Department of Energy, who are in solidarity with our cause for continued development. Let us show them that we are indeed deserving of such generosity," said AFP Chief-of-Staff General Benjamin Madrigal Jr.
The donation is part of DOE's e-trike project, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank and the Clean Technology Fund. Its objective is to promote energy efficiency and clean technologies in the transport sector.
The introduction of e-trikes with lithium-ion battery technology is envisioned to pave the way for increased safety standards and improved environmental compliance.
The ceremonial signing of the Deed of Donation (DOD) and turnover took place at the AFP headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, said military public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato in a statement Friday.
Signing the DOD for the AFP Madrigal, DOE Undersecretary Jesus Cristino Posadas, and AFP Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics Brig. Gen. Fernyl Buca.
