Philippines Electric Three-Wheeler Industry Dynamics

Philippines Electric Three-Wheeler Market Trends / Growth Drivers:

The Philippines electric three-wheelers market is growing due to the initiatives taken by the government and non-government organizations. The government in the Philippines is relying on public-private partnerships to develop and grow the electric vehicles industry in the country, which is directly supporting the growth of the electric three-wheeler market in the country. The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) has an optimistic view of the growth of electric vehicle sales in the Philippines owing to the support for these vehicles under Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law. Under the TRAIN Law, electric vehicles are exempted from higher excise tax, thus creating traction for investments to help sustain electric mobility in the country. The government is not only eyeing the expansion of electric vehicle sales in the major metropolitan cities but to the countryside. The government and non-government organizations are anticipating active participation from the local auto industry to flourish the electric vehicle industry in the country. 

The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) plans for a national development program for electric vehicles that is anchored on the existing Motor Vehicle Development Program for the automotive industry. As per the association, this is to be implemented in four (4) phases within ten years. The Department of Energy in the Philippines is actively collaborating with the Department of Transport for the implementation of a Public Utility Vehicle modernization program that is aimed at transforming the Philippines’ public transport into a cleaner and more efficient mode of transportation. Such initiatives are expected to create a huge demand for electric three-wheelers in the country.
