Marcos eyes electric tricycle, e-jeep manufacturing to reduce reliance on petroleum

MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. eyes all-Filipino electric tricycle and electric jeepney production by shiftinglocal transport production toward cleaner energy solutions.

During his visit at the MD Juan Enterprises, Inc. in Caloocan City on Tuesday, Marcos said he wantedto help the local manufacturing industry and find out what the government can do to further increase the company's production.
