Throwback! I recently came across an old blog post I wrote while at ERG. I was in the Philippines, tracking the progress of the iCSC’s eJeepney, a locally retrofitted all electric version of the local Filipino jeepney, itself a retooled army jeep used for public transport. I got to see first hand how the eJeepney’s were deployed as part of the disaster response directly after Typhoon Yolanda and it was this project that sparked my interest in electric mobility and the links between energy and transportation. Have a read of my experience here — and follow the story of the eJeepney’s continued expansion in the Philippines.
