The Philippine Jeepney

[freightrunner]

Sabi ko na't kaya nating gumawa ng disenteng sasakyan e. Kulang lang sa suporta mula sa inutil na gobyerno.

Got the chance to ride the e-jeepney today. The ride is smooth and quiet. Ang pinaka importante.. libre pamasahe!! Hanggang january 2010 lang daw ang byahe nila.

Mapsa ang nagda drive. Since wala pa syang definite route. Kung saan maluwag na kalye doon kami dumadaan. Kahit no left turn pa sya..

Marami rin e-Pal sa Makati.. dahan-dahan din sa paglalakad at baka makatapak ka ng e-Pot.

Korek ka dyan...

Nga pala 1,500 US dollars ang body kit palang....

sa panggagaya nag-umpisa ang china pero ngayon meron na silang sariling technology lalo na yung makina...iniba lang nila ang disenyo ng mga kotse,bus,motorcycles....naunahan na tayo..they even immitated an f1 f3 race car
malakas yata ang benta ng MCX o BLAZE sa bulacan

Kase dapat mag mass produce ang mga pinoy manufacturer, kung competitive ang product nila, sigurado ako maraming bibili diyan. Hindi naman puedeng gayahin ang mga sasakyan gaya ng hummer tapos mass produce. Madedemanda sila ng manufacturer na tunay. Bakit hindi na lang sila mag produce ng sariling design nila and mag produce ng technology na fuel efficient tapos i-promote nila ng husto locally. Kung pumatok yan at effective, kakalat ang balita hanggang sa ibang bansa. Malay mo biglang may maka kuha ng interest? Tulad ng Hyundai, dati parang chipipay sila at hindi masyadong pinapansin sa ibang bansa, ngayon, gumaganda na ang mga design nila at marami na ring bumibili.

Kailangan siguro na may pinoy na matutong gumawa o mag manufacture ng parts para ang mga Philippine made and designed vehicles. Yuong nga ang magiging problema kung ang mga parts na ito imported pa.

This one needs to be developed and mass produced. I think it looks nice already, it just needed an enclosed door and if they can add airconditioning I'm sure the pinoy consumers would buy these especially if it is of cheaper price.

True and I agree!

[Jrommel]

paano kaya kapag pinarehistro yan...motorsiklo o kotse
from three wheel naging four wheel

DAPAT LAHAT NG BAGONG GAWANG TRICYCLE AY GANYAN NA DISENYO
MAS MAAYOS TINGNAN AT ECO-FRIENDLY PA...

ANO KAYA KUNG I-KONVERT LAHAT NG MGA TRICYCLE AT GAWING E-QUAD

STILL PREFER E-JEEPNEYS IN ARANETA CENTER AT MALL OF ASIA kase mas maraming makakasakay na pasahero,pwede rin sa mga maliliit na kalsada,komportable at madaling makakalabas mga pasahero lalo na kung may bitbit na grocery..ILANG HAKBANG LANG NASA LABAS KA NA KASE BABABA KA SA GILID HINDI KATULAD NG LUMANG JEEP NA SA LIKOD ANG SAKAYAAN AT BABAAN
yung mga jeepney na luma ay mausok,kalawang na di na namaintain
yung mga lumang jeepney ngayon ay hirap makalabas may bitbit lalo pa yung may karga-kargang anak
Kung nasa likod ka ng driver aabutin ka ng siyam-siyam bago ka makalabas at magta-trapik talaga

Hindi ba sa engine classification yuon based?? So same engine as motorbikes would probably be considered as such. I could be wrong though.

Ako gusto ko yang e-quad na yan sa mga short distance travels.

[cool_stream]

saan makikita iyang mga E-QUAD?

Beep looks good idea to re-invent the traditional Jeepney. Hope there could be a cheaper but efficient version. E-Jeepney with Beep combine will definitely work and will look more Jeepey. The one shown below is just a copy cat from mini-bus.




Here comes jeepney’s replacement, the Beep
by Roy Pelovello

ABOUT half of the 400,000 jeepneys in the country may no longer be allowed to ply their routes next year following stricter registration standards, an official said yesterday.

Alberto Suansing, chairman of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, made the statement at the launching of the Beep, a combination bus and jeep, as an alternative to the jeepney, a modified version of the Jeep used by the US military during World War II.

The Beep was inspired by the European Gruau Microbus and is a project of Almazora Motors Corp. and Mitsubishi Motors Philippines.

“The [Land Transportation Office] has come up with new regulations on the inspection of motor vehicles, and we expect many public utility vehicles will not meet the requirements,” Suansing said.

“I would say almost 50 percent of the jeepney population will be affected.”

The LTO will require public utility vehicles—jeepneys in particular—to have speedometers, hand brakes, headlights and wipers, among other things, according to Joel Donato, head of the agency’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Service.

“We are implementing these requirements with the start of registration in January 2010,” he said.

Suansing said jeepney owners failing to comply with the new rules should start thinking of buying brand-new replacements—including the Beep.

A brand-new jeepney with a surplus engine costs around P450,000, and a new one with a new diesel engine is priced around P600,000.

By comparison, a Beep costs around P1.6 million. The Beep’s body is designed and manufactured by Almazora Motors, while the chassis with its brand-new FUSO Canter light-duty truck engine is supplied by Mitsubishi Motors Philippines. Mitsubishi says the engine complies fully with Philippine emission and safety regulations.

The Beep can carry 26 passengers, with seating for 18 including the driver and standing for eight.

“The first consideration here is safety. Some of [the jeepneys] are accidents waiting to happen, and then you have environmental concerns,” Suansing said, adding the LTO’s new requirements dovetailed with his agency’s goal of reducing the number of jeepneys on the streets and replacing them with the Beeps.

Almazora’s vice president for vehicle sales, Dante Santos, said the Beep could be the answer to Metro Manila’s worsening traffic and pollution problems.

He cited a government report saying jeepneys contribute 50 percent of the pollution in the area, and that the traffic flow there is choked “by oversized jeepneys with an excessive turning radius that usually clog the U-turn slots.”

Around 70,000 of the estimated 400,000 jeepneys in the country ply routes in Metro Manila.

wow..MINIBUS...ang galing makinang gawang pilipinas na lang... kaya na natin..ok ang disenyo

sana ma-maintain nlang ganyan kaganda after 3 or more years..
PANG LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL..PWEDE SA TOURIST/PANG-TOUR
lalo sigurong ok kung e-minibus kasabay ng e-jeepney

[Jrommel]

all local government units should have e-jeepney,e-minibus and beep
kahit bumili mga bus o bigtime jeepney operators ng tig-lima
kayang-kaya nilang bumili nyan...

Transport groups slam jeep phaseout
The Manila Standard Today - Metro Section Nov. 12, 2009

JEEPNEY transport groups yesterday criticized stricter requirements for vehicle registration as an added burden to operators and drivers, amounting to phasing out an entire sector.

On Tuesday, Chairman Alberto Suansing, of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, said starting January 2010, the LTO would require jeepneys to have hand brakes, working speedometers, and wipers, among others, for safety purposes.

He said about half of the country’s estimated 400,000 jeepneys would likely be grounded, adding that only those who comply would be allowed to ply their routes.

“We would oppose that because it’s an added burden to us drivers and operators,” said George San Mateo, representing Piston (Pinagkaisang Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytors Nationwide).

He said jeepneys—modified version of World War II US military GP (general purpose) vehicle—are assembled from surplus components without the accessories to lower cost of assembly.

“Maybe the LTO is dreaming that we are a first-world country. That is a good idea if our operators can afford that. I think that’s just another pretext for the phaseout of the jeepneys,” San Mateo told Standard Today.

He said the agency should improve its management services first before making new impositions on the operators and drivers.

“Why not focus first on providing enough traffic enforcers, in eradicating fixers, and most importantly, in removing colorum vehicles?”

Roberto Martin, national president of Pasang Masda, seconded San Mateo’s position.

“As far as I can remember, jeepneys are not equipped with hand brakes and speedometer,” he said.

“While we are not against the idea of upgrading and improving our public transport system, implementation of such requirement should be done gradually. We would seek a dialog with the LTO and LTFRB about this,” Martin added.

In a separate interview, ACTO (Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations) president Efren de Luna said his group, in principle, would go with the new LTO requirements.

“It is but proper for the LTO to impose those requirements, for safety not only of the commuters but also of the drivers,” De Luna said, adding that the enforcement should be made with caution given the calamity wrought by two recent storms.

“Maybe a five-month delay [in the implementation] is enough. And during that time, the LTO and LTFRB should also conduct information campaign so that everyone concerned know what is expected of them before they register their vehicles,” De Luna said.

According to Suansing, jeepney owners failing to comply with the new rules should think of buying brand-new replacements, including a micro-bus jointly produced by Almazora Motors and Mitsubishi Motors Philippines called Beep (Bus-jeep).

The whopping P1.6 million cost of Beep is pipe dream, according to Martin.

He said operators would most likely opt to buy a brand-new GP of the war relic type for about P400,000 and safety features to boot. Rey Pelovello

Tama ka. Anyway, tama ginawa ng LTO, mapipilitan din ang mga jeeney makers na tigilan nglagyan ng walang kuwetang burloloy ang jeepney. At yung uubusing pera sa paglalagay nun, ilagay sa paglalagay ng hand brakes, speedometer, setbelt, brake lamp/ light, working headlight, wiper, side mirrors and rear side mirrors..

Dapat itong mga grupo na ito sumunod sa batas pati gumagaw ng jeepney.

What does this imply? that Philippines must be poor forever?
What airheads, useless people.
Now I can confidently say that these people are one of the reasons why Philippines isn't progressing in any way.

Regarding that Beep microbus I'm sure there will also be an open window non-A/C version available for a cheaper price. I think the one in the picture would also be a good alternative for intercity shuttle vans in the provinces.
