Philippines' First Electric Bus Paves the Way for a Greener Future
Victory Liner Inc. unveils the Nation’s First Electric Green Bus! The Makakalikasan Organization and the Imelda S. Elizalde Foundation, through its Aksyon Kalikasan Greens Heritage Institute, proudly celebrate the historic unveiling of the first Electric Vehicle Bus by Victory Liner, Inc.—a groundbreaking achievement in sustainable transportation in the Philippines. This momentous event marks a significant step towards a more eco-friendly and sustainable future for the nation.This milestone underscores a shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and a greener future for our nation. Victory Liner's adoption of electric transportation sets a strong example for the private sector in addressing climate change and promoting eco-friendly mobility solutions. By transitioning to electric buses, Victory Liner is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also contributing to the reduction of air pollution and the enhancement of public health.
Imelda S. Elizalde, Chairman of the Imelda S. Elizalde Foundation, remarked, "This electric bus is not only convenient for senior citizens like me, but it also gives hope to our generation and the younger generation that a green future is possible for everyone." Her statement highlights the intergenerational benefits of sustainable transportation and the importance of environmental stewardship for future generations.Roy Jerusalem Cabonegro, President of Makakalikasan Organization, added, "Victory Liner's pioneering effort should spur greater government and private sector support for essential infrastructure like charging stations to enable this system to thrive nationwide. As we electrify public transport, we must also transition swiftly to 100% renewable energy to fully realize this sustainable shift. We also call for more 'Makakalikasan Buses'—electric public transport systems that champion green innovation and sustainability." His statement emphasizes the need for supportive infrastructure and the broader transition to renewable energy sources to maximize the impact of electric transportation.
Makakalikasan Organization and the Imelda S. Elizalde Foundation stand united in supporting this transformative effort. Together, we are committed to advancing initiatives that prioritize environmental stewardship and sustainability across the country. This collaboration demonstrates the power of joint efforts in driving significant environmental changes and setting a precedent for other organizations to follow.
The introduction of the first electric bus by Victory Liner is just the beginning. It is anticipated that this initiative will inspire other transport companies to embrace electric vehicles, thereby accelerating the shift towards sustainable transportation nationwide. With continued support from the government, private sector, and civil society, the Philippines can pave the way for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.
