DoE keen to deploy e-trikes – senior exec

Despite difficulties, the Department of Energy (DoE) remains determined to distribute the 3,000 electric tricycles (e-trikes) still in its possession, one of its officials said.

According to Energy Assistant Secretary Leonido Pulido 3rd, the department seeks to ease these difficulties—including the vehicle’s price and flawed deployment model, which he calls “restrictive”—by opening doors to potential offtakers other than local government units (LGUs).
