Govt agencies get hybrid vehicles

DEPARTMENT of Energy (DoE) Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi and Japan Ambassador to the Philippines Kazuhide Ishikawa turned over 24 units of advanced hybrid vehicles to various national government agencies (NGAs) on Friday.

At the ceremonial turnover held at the DOE’s headquarters, Cusi said the distribution of hybrid vehicles “aims to promote the local use and patronage of efficient and environment-friendly alternative fuel vehicles, by deploying demo units and consequently developing familiarity with their operation, maintenance and service.”
