MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) seeks to attract more Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, particularly those specializing in compact vehicles and electrified two-wheelers.

“I have spoken to many companies that would like to bring in the smaller EVs like the motorcycles that can be used as tricycles and the compacts that can be used for Grab or Lalamove, and for provinces where buses or jeepneys are not allowed,” Roque said. “We will have many options.”
