The national government is moving to steer the Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP) toward the use of electric vehicles as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) targets the deployment of at least 6,000 electric jeepneys this year in line with the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA). LTFRB Chairman Vigor Mendoza II said the agency wants public transport modernization efforts to increasingly focus on electric vehicles as the government works to reduce dependence on fuel-powered public utility vehicles. “We have, out of 10,000 or 11,000 modernized jeepneys, wala pa tayong 1,000 [electric vehicles], let’s say 1,000, kasi 900 plus ‘yan eh, so sayang naman, and we’d like to push the Public Transport Modernization Program towards the adaptation of electric vehicles,” Mendoza said. The target is anchored on Republic Act No. 11697 or the EVIDA Law, which requires at least five percent of the fleets of public transport operators to consist of electric vehicles. Based on LTFRB estimates, there are around 120,000 public utility jeepneys operating nationwide. Meeting the law’s minimum requirement would mean placing about 6,000 electric jeepneys on the road. Under the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) E-Transport Loan Program, public utility vehicle operators seeking to transition to electric vehicles may access financing assistance for vehicle acquisition. The program comes as transport operators continue to grapple with volatile fuel prices, one of the main arguments being raised by government agencies in favor of electrification. The DTI has allocated P3 billion for the lending program and eligible operators may borrow up to P3 million, payable within three to five years. For the DOTr, the financing package could help accelerate a transition that has been slower than initially expected. “This model, combined with the DTI’s loan package and private sector collaboration, is expected to provide a major boost to the government’s modernization program. We hope it will help accelerate the transition to electric vehicles and speed up the implementation of transport modernization,” said Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary for Road Transport and Non-Infrastructure Dioscoro Reyes. Transport group operator Pasang Masda said operators should begin preparing for the transition as studies have pointed to long-term savings from electric-powered vehicles. “Palagay ko ito na ang tamang panahon na magkaroon tayo ng pagbabago sa hanay ng transportasyon, mag-switch na po tayo sa e-vehicle at may pag-aaral ang mga opisyales dyan na malaki ang magiging savings at ito ay environment-friendly, no noise pollution at magiging maayos ang pagsebisyo sa ating mga mananakay,” said Pasang Masda President Roberto “Ka Obet” Martin.
SHANGHAI , June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JA ESS launched JAPlanet Fusion, its latest 125kW/261kWh commercial and industrial (C&I) hybrid solar-plus-storage system. Designed for factories, industrial parks, commercial facilities, public infrastructure and EV charging stations, JAPlanet Fusion is built to simplify solar-plus-storage deployment, increase on-site renewable energy utilization and support more intelligent energy management. JA ESS Launches JAPlanet Fusion C&I Hybrid Solar-Plus-Storage System JAPlanet Fusion is a DC-coupled hybrid system developed for C&I projects with high on-site solar consumption. The system supports up to 250kW of PV input and integrates PV access, energy storage conversion, on-grid/off-grid switching and energy management into one coordinated platform. By reducing the need for a separate PV inverter, the product helps simplify system configuration, shorten installation work and improve overall system efficiency. The integrated architecture enables closer coordination among solar generation, battery storage, grid interaction and load demand. For C&I users operating under changing electricity tariffs and variable load profiles, JAPlanet Fusion can support higher solar self-consumption, more flexible energy scheduling and stronger power reliability. The system is suitable for applications including solar self-consumption, backup power, microgrids and solar-storage-charging scenarios. Safety and long-term reliability are central to the product design. JAPlanet Fusion adopts a system-level safety architecture covering the battery system, power conversion and energy management, with coordinated monitoring and protection functions. The product also supports intelligent operation through JA ESS's digital capabilities, helping users monitor system status, identify abnormalities and manage assets more efficiently throughout the lifecycle. JAPlanet Fusion reflects JA ESS's broader view of C&I energy storage: storage is no longer only about charging and discharging electricity. It is becoming an integrated energy management asset that connects renewable generation, load control, grid interaction and digital operation. Through this approach, C&I users can better respond to energy cost pressure, renewable energy consumption needs and power reliability requirements. To support intelligent operation, JA ESS connects its product portfolio with JA NebulaTM, the company's digital energy platform. JA NebulaTM supports AI monitoring, operating data collection, intelligent alerts, remote diagnostics and maintenance management, helping improve system visibility, operation efficiency and long-term asset management. JAPlanet Fusion is part of JA ESS's broader Solar + Storage + X solution framework, which integrates solar generation, energy storage, loads, charging infrastructure and digital management across scenarios such as industrial and commercial parks, solar-storage-charging stations, microgrids, agriculture, mining and off-grid energy systems. Alongside JAPlanet Fusion, JA ESS also introduced the upgraded JAPlanet 2.0, its All-in-One C&I BESS, further enhancing the company's portfolio for peak shaving, demand management, backup power, dynamic capacity expansion and microgrid applications.
