The City Government of Muntinlupa is the next municipality to go electrified as BYD Cars Philippines turned over eight battery electric patrol cars. The move strengthens local police operations while advancing Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon’s green technology program for the city.
The turnover reflects a growing partnership between BYD Cars Philippines and local government units as more municipalities look to electrify essential public services. Previously, BYD also turned over 41 EVs to Valenzuela City.
All eight units of the BYD Dolphin have been assigned directly to the Muntinlupa Police Station, where they will be used for Philippine National Police (PNP) operations in Muntinlupa City. The electric vehicles will be supporting daily law enforcement activities and road patrols.
Beyond boosting police visibility in the community, the vehicles are expected to deliver significant operational savings compared to traditional internal combustion engine patrol cars, with lower maintenance requirements, zero fuel costs, and greater day-to-day availability for officers on the ground.
“The acquisition of the BYD Dolphins is a part of the long-term investment in clean energy that Muntinlupa has already committed to. With electric patrol cars, our police force can stay on the road longer without worry and gives them a more reliable way to serve our community,” said Mayor Ruffy Biazon of the City Government of Muntinlupa.
This shift to electric vehicles is part of Muntinlupa’s long-term sustainability roadmap and aligns with the city’s broader green transport initiatives. It’s also part of their commitment to electrified public mobility which is a vision that BYD Cars Philippines is proud to support.
“Muntinlupa’s decision to electrify its police fleet reflects the kind of forward-thinking leadership we hope to see in more local governments. At BYD Cars Philippines, we want to be a genuine partner to LGUs as they move toward cleaner, more cost-efficient public service fleets, and this is a strong example of what that partnership looks like in practice,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director, BYD Cars Philippines.
So our government actively purchases vehicles made by a company with connections to a communist regime that seeks to undermine our legitimate sovereign territory at every oportunity, bully our navy, airforce and fishermen!
ReplyDeleteSabihin mo yan sa Japan din, Toyota, Honda,Nissan lalo pinadami pa yun Chinese Component and parts sa mga vehicles nila
DeleteEvery Chinese company has to have connections to the 'communist regime' in order to export any product.
DeleteI'd bet nearly 90% of construction materials this country uses now are sourced from China. Everyone knows at least one person involved in construction, go ahead and ask them. Are you going to protest every construction project you see?
What are your other choices anyway for BEVs to give to the police? Toyota Urban Cruisers, or bZ4xs? Ford Mach-Es? Hyundais or Kias would be nice but still waaay more expensive.
Binili ng local government tapos ni-donate nila sa PNP which is a national government entity?
