Tagalog News: Kauna-unahang solar electronic jeepney sa Butuan City

LUNGSOD
NG BUTUAN, Agosto 17 (PIA) - Dama ang kasiyahan at pasasalamat ni Jose
Evagelous Lawenko, chairman ng Diamond Transport Service Cooperative (DATSCO)
sa lungsod ng Butuan nang ibahagi niya ang tulong na naibigay sa kanila sa
transport sector sa pamamagitan ng solar electronic jeepney (e-jeep) mula sa
Star 8 – isang innovative technology company sa bansa na patuloy na
nagpapakilala ng makabagong green technology products and applications.
Dagdag
pa ni Lawenko, marami rin umano ang nabigyan ng trabaho sa inisyatibong ito ng
star 8 at sa tulong na rin ng Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA).
Binigyang-diin
naman ni Rachael Aguaviva, Development Management Officer II ng MinDA, na ito
ang kauna-unahang pure solar e-jeep na nailunsad sa Butuan City bilang suporta
sa Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program ng pamahalaan.
Ayon
sa kanya, ang Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation
Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) at Department of Energy (DOE) ang mga
ahensyang nangunguna sa implementasyon ng programang ito at parte naman sa
programa ng MinDA ang pag-facilitate sa mga transport sector na mapabilis ang
kanilang pag-avail sa nasabing pure solar e-jeep sa Caraga region.
Malaking
tulong din daw ang e-jeep upang mabawasan ang polusyon mula sa usok ng sasakyan
na nagdudulot ng masamang epekto sa kapaligiran at sa kalusugan ng tao.
Dagdag
pa ni Aguaviva, may subsidy na ibibigay ang gobyerno na aabot sa P80,000.00
para sa bawat benepisyaryo ng e-jeep sa transport sector mula sa ibat-ibang
kooperatiba ng rehiyon.
Sinabi
rin niya na madali lang ang pag-avail ng solar e-jeep ng mga kooperatiba dahil
na rin sa tulong ng mga partner conduit bank institutions. Tutulong din umano
ang Star 8 company sa pagproseso ng mga kinakailangang dokumento.
