Transforming public transport with electric.
Tembo PUV is revolutionising public transportation by converting traditional public utility vehicles into electric vehicles for developing economies such as the Philippines in a cost-effective manner that enhances livelihoods and reduces emissions.
In the Philippines, Tembo is working with local industry partners, blending iconic design with advanced EV technology that is fit for purpose for uneven road surfaces.
Why electrify public transport?
Across developing nations, there is an opportunity for public transport utilities to leapfrog traditional infrastructure and create a cost-efficient transportation system underpinned by modern, clean, safe and comfortable electric PUVs.
In the Philippines, the Public Utility Vehicle Modernisation (PUVM) program seeks to enhance the safety and efficiency of the iconic jeepneys whilst complying with regulatory standards. The program aims to improve air quality, offer more comfortable rides and lower operating costs.
