THE shift from gas-fueled transportation to electric vehicles is needed now more than ever, said Transportation Sec. Jaime Bautista.
Reports say that the DOTr was also considering giving incentives, like tax breaks and ‘soft loans,’ to the country’s transport operators to help them jumpstart their shift to EVs. Several types of EVs received the said tax breaks except for e-motorcycles that are still subject to 30 percent import duty despite holding a large number of motorists in the country.
Various stakeholders have also expressed their appeal to make the EO more inclusive by including e-motorcycles on the temporary suspension of import tariff rates.
