E-TRIKES tO BE LAUNCHED iN BORACAY ISLAND oN FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2013

The launching of the electric tricycles (e-trikes) in the Island of Boracay has been set.

The launching will be held on Friday, May 31, 2013 at Casa Pilar Beach Resort, station 3 at 9:30 in the morning.

Since the previous year the changing to e-trikes as a solution to air and noise pollution generated by traditional tricycles which ply the streets of the island, has been discussed by the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Malay.

The launching is expected to be attended by the LGU of Malay, Boracay Land Transportation Multi Purpose Cooperative (BLTMPC), and other personalities concerned or interested with the e-trikes.

It can be recalled that the LGU of Malay, spearheaded by Town Council Member Dante Pagsugiron, had been persistent in convincing tricycle operators in Boracay to change their old units to e-trikes.
