フィリピンでは自動車の国産化に遅れをとる間にタイなどの周辺国が自動車製造の中心となっていった背景があり、今後の安定成長への最大の課題として製造業の発展を掲げてきました。電気自動車の製造には従来の内燃型の自動車と異なりエンジン製造の技術が不要で、かつエンジン車と比べて部品点数が少なく小額の設備投資で済むため新規参入でもチャンスがあります。また大気汚染や石油への依存は周辺国でも共通の課題であり、これらを先駆けて解決することで、電気自動車産業の中心を担いたいという狙いもあります。

Translation / English

In the Philippines the car production has diminshed while countries like Thailand have become the center of car manufacturing, the development of the manufacturing industry has become the main challenge for the current stable growth. In the manufacturing of electric vehicles, contrary to internal combustion vehicles, does not require engine production technology but rather, compared to engine cars, the number of parts diminish and can be completed with less capital investment, so there is a chance of entering that market. Also the problems of air pollution and dependance on oil are shared by the neighbouring countries, and rushing to find a solution to those is an aim that is at the core of the electric car industry.

Translation / English

While there is a delay in local automobile production in Philippine, its neighboring countries like Thailand have become the center for automobile production and this development of the manufacturing industry has become the biggest challenge for the stable growth. Engine production technology as used in internal combustion type conventional automobiles is not necessary for manufacturing electric automobile and due to the lesser number of spare parts required and limited amount of capital investment, there is a chance for new entrants too. By resolving the common problems to all neighboring countries such as air pollution and dependence on oil , there is an aim to play a central role of electric car manufacturing industry.

Translation / English

In While domestic production of cars has fallen behind, surrounding countries like Thailand have become the center of automotive production, the Philippines has now come to raise the stable growth and development of their manufacturing industry from here on as the biggest issue. In contrast traditional I.C.E based vehicles, technologies used to manufacture engines are unnecessary in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. Moreover, compared to I.C.E based vehicle these new electric vehicles have less parts resulting in smaller investment in equipment, giving them a chance for new market penetration. Also, atmospheric pollution and oil dependence are a shared issue among the surrounding countries in the region, there is goal to be the first to resolve these issues and become the center of electric vehicle industry.
