Star8 Solar Electric Jeepney and Tricycle Philippines
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2017
- Solar powered Jeepneys and Tricycles inline with the LTFRB PUV modernization program, from Star8.
These fully electric vehicles all include solar panels on top, which help to extend the range and generally be more environmentally friendly.
With a range of 120KM (75 miles), they've got more than enough energy in them to keep even the busiest public utility vehicle going for the day.
Unlike some other large electric vehicles, the star8 vehicles include an onboard smart charger and don't require any special charging station. That means the vehicle can be charged from a regular wall socket at the home of the driver.
The solar panels on top of the vehicles will extend the range but in most circumstances, a regularly used vehicle will still need to be charged from the grid.
The cost of recharging from the wall is estimated at around 80 PHP (1.50 USD, 1.20 GBP) which is much cheaper than buying diesel or unleaded gasoline.
Being all electric, you also avoid the expensive oil changes that are required fairly often on a vehicle that spends so much time on the road.
Another part of the public utility vehicle modernization program from LTFRB is to provide the drivers with a set wage instead of them earning per passenger. This should improve the ride quality since the driver doesn't need to battle or feel threatened by other people "stealing" his passengers. He's guaranteed a set wage regardless of how many people he carries.
According to someone who attended a Star8 Solar Jeepney seminar in April 2017, you need to pay P150,000 for the franchise and transportation cooperative group. For the first 5 years, the unit maintnecen and parts have to be done through Star8. After those 5 years, the vehicle is yours and you have no more tie-in with Star8.

The top speed is 45 KPH or around 30 MPH.
How much would it cost riding these new jeepneys?
Same price as any other Jeepney. They plan to make profit from advertising on the vehicles.
Gadget Addict how the passengers pay their fare? And the image or the style of our Philippine Jeepney is gone. Are you not preserving our own jeepney?
Passengers will pay the same as they pay on any other jeepney, using cash. But there will be extra options like Beep card. Apparently they'll add some styling later to make them more bright and unique like the traditional jeepney :)
Ang sarap sakyan ang mga modernong jeepney. Hindi ka na palaging nakayuko para lang makita sa bintana kung nasaang lugar ka na.
ANG TALINO TALAGA NG MGA PINOY!!!! GOD GIVEN TALENT TALAGA!!! I HOPE NA MAI-APLLY ITO 100% SA PINAS!!! SALUDO PO AKO SA INYO, SIR, SA ORIGINATOR NITO!!! GALING NG MGA PINOY!!!
That's not Pinoy, Star8 is an Australian company.
I'd choose riding these electric vehicles over the traditional ones anytime. i hope they deploy these in Visayas and Mindanao areas too. great video as always.
Thanks :) I also hope they get spread around the country! I know they already sent some of their trikes to Boracay but It would be great to see some solar vehicles hitting the 'far flung' provinces.
Gadget Addict there are already e-trikes in Naga City, Cam. Sur... But no Electric Jeepneys yet.
luckienuckie help to our invirolment and loses air fulliusion.
Me too i dont like to ride jeeps and there is some mini electricfan there and a tv or a place that you can charge your phone
this is a dream come true for a lot of us. no noise, no smoke, and all the torque you'll ever need. there's a lot of EVs in Boracay and they're doing a lot better than their fuel guzzling counterparts.
True, the torque is a huge benefit. Some of those gasoline trikes in Boracay... you have to practically get out and push it up the hill lol
Gadget Addict people ask a discount for that service. lol.
Pretty good stuff. Anything that modernizes our current transportation system is always a good thing. Lord knows the Philippines needs it and the government sure isn't doing much at the moment.
great! rather than paying tv ads, you gave free units to the drivers and operators and have your ads stick in there forever... very nice its a win win situation, and by doing this you are providing favors to the poor rather than giving oligarchs more revenue. triple thumbs up (if a could)!
ofcourse man, its an experimental project... these australian investors have lots of money to burn... business tycoons are burning some money before they found a gold mine... unlike us we dont have much to put on a table... got it?
they're basically giving samples and having ads for a little return..of course they know, ads won't cover everything, it's just a way to minimize loss..it's risky but a right move, they need to infiltrate the market. hope major cities would adopt quickly.
Impressive ! Interesting to travel in the Philippines . No more pollution .
Thank you so much for making this video! My mom and I are from Davao and heard about these coming into the scene. So informative, you asked all the right questions thank you!!
Being a PWD myself. These spacious, modern, safer and overall more convenient PUVs are a BIG help.
Plus the Marshalls are very much appreciated.
Thanks for uploading, my friend. 😀
I can't imagine how difficult it must be, getting into a regular Jeepney as a PWD. I guess for many people it really limits their ability to travel.
Gadget Addict It's really difficult. I can't really travel far by myself.
Whenever I go to Manila to visit my relatives. I always have someone with me because glare and dark places are a 'no go'
I'm sorry to hear that. I really hope they roll these programs out quickly and that it can give you and other people a lot more freedom :)
Gadget Addict I hope so aswell. The assistance that they can provide when disembarking will be really helpful to us.
I never had any history of being succesfully mugged or pickpocketed. Being a Black Belt in Aikido and a Brown Belt in Kyokushin Karate allowas me to be secure. XD
But the Marshalls will definitely be a big help for everyone.
Btw, are you British?
Yikes, lets hope no one tries their luck with you haha. Yup, British :) I'm glad you didn't say American lol. I have no problem with Americans but It gets a bit tedious with people often assuming I'm American.
d best jeepney so far in d country today. economical, very convenient and environment friendly. i wish d Phil. govt will support this public vehicle
The PH Gov are actively promoting renewable energy and electric vehicles. They're putting a lot of money, time and other resources into making all of this happen :) Along with extra pressure on LTO and LTFRB to keep up and push for changes with the PUV modernization program etc.
This is a highly recommended vehicle anywhere around the world,, thank you for the eco friendly topic,,keep it up❗❗
Looks much nicer than the standard jeepney. It will help reduce the traffic noise and air pollution. I like it!
Pioneering work been done, great work.
tnks man for your video even your not filipino you are doing something making some noise to solve the biggest problem like air pollution and noise as well. keep it up hope the authority will see your blog..... million like support the video and make noise about it.
This is technoloical breakthrough. Thanks for sharing!
Wow eto dapat ang ating tangkilikin zero polution at comportable sakyan,
thats good solar powered, its always hot in the philippines use it to power our jeepneys, i hope in 5 years we will see more of this
I love the jeepneys baby! all type. Filipino people you all are awesome! May God bless
very nice... the vending machine idea is a surprise,I never see any vending machine on any vehicle even Rolls Royce.
I also like the tricycle,it looks like a modernized tuk tuk.
I also like the features and the color
Love to see this change
Did the distribution of the units go as planned? It would be great to know how their project has been going. Any plan for a follow up video? Thanks for the content!
i always see those jeeps when i go to my tech shoots nice video bro...
now thats a great idea, i wish you the best for the future. i´m very often in Dasmarinas/Cavite to visit my family and hope to use them soon. thanks from Austria/Europe
Napapanahon naman talaga para palitan na ang mga luma..kailangan na natin ng pagbabago at magsisimula yon sa atin mismong mga sarili..
Marvellous! Move on Pinoy Mabuhay ka!
These are awesome! I'm glad to see the Philippines using more solar. Too bad the U.S. president isn't keeping up with the times. I think I'll stay here where people are friendly and hard working.
Yeah finally! Such a sunny country and solar is really booming at the moment. Most of the MMDA lighted signs are now solar powered. I see the maintenance crew driving along in the early hours throwing buckets of water into the air to clean the panels. And more people are starting to put panels on their roof. What I'm surprised about is the lack of solar hot water heaters. In China they're on pretty much every property but here you rarely see them. I guess a lot of people prefer cool or cold showers but I still know people spending a lot of money on their electricity bill to cover an electric shower when they could add a solar water heater to the top of their house instead. I think some electric cars are pretty popular in the U.S. like the Prius right?
Wow what a great achievement in solar powered vehicles, solar ice cream cart, solar food cart, solar tricycle & bikes.
Anything that cuts out the noise of the trikes on Boracay is a good idea!
Good video and a lot more explanatory than the Star8 website.
Might even be able to turn off the recycle air in my car if a few more of these hit the road!
lol that sure would be nice!
If I heard correctly about the drivers getting a fixed wage instead of relying on fares, surely that will improve the quality of life for the drivers and make things a lot less stressful.
I do worry though that the new system could be open to a lot of abuse.
Also, with regular "brownouts" during the hot months, what happens if a vehicle cannot be charged. The solar is not going to do it all.
Just some thoughts.
I love them! I think this is really the way to go! Thanks for your video! I love it! I'm making some myself!
wow its very nice!!very good also for the environment!!
CONGRATS !!!! PO > MALAKING BAGAY PO SA KALUSUGAN ANG MGA PRODUCTS NYO.. GOD BLESS PO...***)))))
Fantastic concept
This is amazing I like this methods e- transport this good to our country ..magbago na rin tayu technology specially now mayroon narin makabagong BUS na electric systems yan na rin susunod gaya ginagamit dito sa CALIFORNIA LA.
I wish we had some of these vehicles in Australia
They look soo cool
thanks a lot for making video for this keep it up!
Thanks! :) It was a long trip going there but 100% worth it!
Hello sir, do you happen to know their website for the star8? Thanks
+DEXTER DALES just type star8 into Google and you'll see it :)
Gadget Addict thank you sir.
Congrats batchmate Bong!
efficient, clean, quit, clean and its all battery hope its comfortable
Wowww. love to take this ride. It is more relaxing that the old Phil. jeepney.
Sana lang imaintain nila ang ganda at safety ng mga yan -baka nman kapag nabulok na eh -wala na din😁
Salud to you MMDA ADDICT😉
This is an excellent and environment friendly transport..
So cleverly,thought-out
Well done, very impressive.
USB port!! wow this jeepney is dope!!
haha exactly! Imagine the stress of sitting in traffic and your phone dies so you have nothing to do but stare at the guy sitting across from you. But now,, as long as you have your cable, you're gonna be able to recharge your phone :D
Great initiative!
nice strategies, helping poor drivers, helping our mother earth
Improved version of jeepney",,,happy to try that once I take vacation in the Phil's",,,",,,
Love the vehicles☺️❤️
HUWAG lang PINTURAN ng MGA KOLORETE,,gaya ng OLD JEEPNEY para hindi mag mukhang BASURA,,,hayaan ang kulay na iyan,,,CLEAN, FRESH LOOKING,,at dapat ang mga DRIVER ay malinis at in UNIFORM,,walang ADIK na driver
Okay din naman yung design/pintura ng mga dating jeep ahh. Nakikita nga dun creativity ng pinoy. Iba ibang picture/ design o pintura bawat jeep
@@joshuav7239 Tama po si Kuya, nag mumukhang basura yung mga jeep kung pipinturahan nila Nila kung ano ano mas maganda na po yung pareparehong design I'm not against Sa artwork nila da best parin mga jeepney but its time to get Philippines get rising again.
Bravo ang galing ng mga filipino talaag
It's so nice and super cool. 😍😍 It's time to move forward Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 why mag tiis if pde naman ganto. Sana dumami ganto pde masakyan😭😍
wow Nice Liked it very much.......
i just saw this jeepney today and its cool
That would be great and is comfortable to ride .
I love those solar tricycle.
Me too, they're sooooo cute!
Very impressive.
Nice nice...I like it...I like it very much!
Now we just have to work out a way to sneak one away from their compound and throw a party on it haha
A party solar bus with bluetooth karaoke mics ...tugs tugs tugs!...Haha!
I love riding e-jeep!
i would even prefer this type than the longer buses anytime of the day, buses occupy a large space specially when changing lanes. Two thumbs up for this ..
That's true :)
Very nice its time to modernize
i cant wait!go..go..go...
nice... lahat ng lumang jeep palitan na nyan !
Gadget addict you're so tall you almost hit your head on the ceiling but then that ejeep size seems spacious, look very nice and confortable to ride great.
Nice one mate
Awesome idea
awesome!! old jeepneys should be replaced by these eco friendly jeepney.
Very cool. About time they get on to solar. Best news yet having police on board. Make them drive better.. big thumbs up for that :-)
I think we'll also see a big improvement in the quality of driving once the drivers are given a wage instead of earning per passenger. There's a reason the Jeepneys stop in the middle of the road and race around so fast. They want to stop other drivers getting ahead of them and "stealing" their passengers. Once they have a proper wage, they won't need to drive like that anymore. They can just focus on providing a smooth and safe ride to their passengers. And yeah, having someone onboard keeping an eye on the passengers AND the driver doesn't hurt either ;)
Ah, yes. I was not aware of drivers being paid a wage rather than a % or per person. Sounds like a good plan. maybe add a bonus for being a save driver. No accidents or incidents at the end of the month and get a bonus or reward of some kind. One of my old employers was like. Every 6mo we got a bonus for no safety violations.
Clever clever!
ohh wow!!! good saving energy and less pollution as well
for paying fare it is nice to hve beep machine and for those who wants to pay coins just drop into specific metal box and show how much the exactly amount of fare just my opinion thanks for the vid so interesting
I like the idea of that. Having a coin counter to take your fare automatically :)
Gadget Addict thank you for a hundred nd thousands coming commented into your very interesting vlog godbless and take care
ganda niya
Magnda cya sana wlng mandurukot at maaliw mga pasahero manood ng tv.ung mandurukot hnd nla yn mappancn.
Wow! Sosyal na Pilipinas. The current jeeps ay nanggigitata dahil sa krudo . Masdan yung mga paa ng jeepney driver ngayon nangingitim sa langis kasi nga sanhi ng maitim na usok ng krudo.
that's very fit in our traffic roads we cannot go faster..just enough in normal city speed.
wow this is the future
I realy like these new minibuses..especialy its tech(obviously not a jeep)
I like that its spacious enough for you to stand insde, plus airconditioning!!! I hope to see it rolling soon so we can replace those old jeepnies.
This new version of Jeepney is very impressive but lack of emergency exit.
Nice, Respect
NICE!
Sir, thanks for your social concern and patriotism. Do you also have a program of this kind for Davao City? With the size of its economy, viability can never be a question. This project obviously addressed many issues such as pollution, convenience, passenger safety, cost minimisation, and on the social side the inclusive growth that it can create.
great content ..subbed
Very good.
Love this
this types of vehicle especially the tricycle one is good for people like me who don't know how to drive.. hahah.. it looks so easy to drive.
AWESOME!!!
Can't wait to see these new type vehicles on the road and thank you for making this video.
BTW, you should have ask how long to charge the batteries?
A full charge takes 10 hours, but it could be less depending on how depleted the battery is at the end of the day. I'm also excited to see more of these out on the road :)
Coolllll!!",,,, nice design",,
These vehicles are very good. It ticks all the boxes. They just need maintenance and replacement panels if and when they have accidents. There's a few things I dnt agree on but don't shoot me. Eg: usb chargers and the possible snack vending machine should be removed. They should be radio controlled (not literally), GPS tracked, with timetable schedule, should have bustops, route numbers and maps. Will be good for all including tourists. Good for their advertising. 😊
needs charging hook up incase 3 days no sunlight. gonna be big recall...kailangan ng pagbabago na. dapat bigyan ng sarap at ginhawa ang mananakay. traditional jeepney 20 to 30 yrs. sobra sobra na kita ng operator at driver. isa pa malaki na kinita rin ng piston sa membro nila.
The solar panel only extends the range. The bulk of the charging still comes from plugging into the wall :)
Oh wow! I've been dreaming of something like this for sometime now. Looks like my idea of the usb charging port is not original. Kind of disappointing but still good in a way. Now, If our lawmakers can just get off their butts, (and off the big oil company's pockets) and legislate these amazing vehicles.
NO POLLUTION JEEPNEY
its not the jeepney is making pollution its our government don't exactly know how to make it right, SMOG Station is supposed to check them every time they renew the registration, but what happen was give them extra pay out and your good to go even without physically checking
casper123103 I agree
the Philippines must also invest in a cleaner source of power like opening the nuclear power plant in Bataan and/or geothermal power plants in very active volcanoes
Salvador Lozano it's not true because electric vehicles are charged with electricity which comes from coal.
Pixel Surge nuclear is too dangerous and already Philippines is affected by Fukushima.
Notice the deformed children?
Nuclear is just too expensive if you factor the true cost of nuclear.
Plus you have the big problem of nuclear waste.
Nuclear needs highly educated people to run it and Philippines safety record would be suicidel.
You cannot afford to fk up with nuclear.
Nuclear by its very nature is highly unstable, very high pressure, very high temperature, very high corrosion. That's a very dangerous combination.
Reactor vessels don't last as long as they're meant to.
Nuclear waste must be managed forever.
Especially MOX fuel.
If one of the technically most advanced races can't handle nuclear power what hope would Philippines have?
Earthquakes near reactors don't mix.
Flooding near nuclear reactors bad idea.
Backup diesel generaters can't be underwater because they won't work.
You can't be sloppy with nuclear power.
DONA PAV proves Philippines doesn't have a strict safety record and even if they did Japan proves even the most advanced countries have diasters.
@@brunsmip How stupid could it be, to implement nuclear power, while the rest of the world is trying to escape from nuclear power, It's just not 100% controllable. Only 99,9%
And what happen with that 0,1% is obvious in Fukushima, Chernobyl and many others. just check in Google: "nuclear accidents" you can find almost hundreds...
By the was is nuclear power only "cheap" for the moment, but the used "Nuclear fuel rods" needs care for thousands of years, which is very expensive.
Hmm vehicles great somewhat for manila since traffic there are horrendous (solar panels on roof and all), but the moment that city gets flooded, those vehicle for sure will not be deployed.
Hope they bring it here in Laguna! Wider roads and a bit of traffic...
i like this jeep sana dumating yung time na bumeyahe eto kc gusto sumakay kahit na mas mataas ang fare compare sa ibang jeepney. pls. like and support.
How can aply the smallest one unit like Trike 5 to 6 peoples ?????
love it
guess the future will be brighter
It's going to be a hard road ahead but yes, a brighter future :)
nice
Nice
This solar jeeps are must on the road goverment must put this on the road to avoid pollution imagine how clean the air in metro is
A trike that seats 10.....wow. thats pretty impressive.
great video! :)
Thanks :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Adding marshals is a great idea. One of my worst fears riding jeepneys is getting robbed and having a marshal on board will at least prevent things like that happening. They'll scare misbehaving passengers as well like those pesky perverts I read and see a lot in the news.
True. I've heard many horror stories of people being pickpocketed while riding the Jeep or being felt up. Hopefully the marshals can watch out for that and quickly get to know which people in the area need to be banned from riding or closely monitored.
