The launching of the the e-jeepney franchise not only marks a historic moment for the Philippine transportation. It also displays the growing community pushing for clean and green solutions. As the primary mode of public transport, the e-jeepneys should have great impact on the environment and for the country's drive to go for green solutions - alternative energy source, alternative fuel and promote low-emission vehicles.
Currently, the e-jeepneys are charging with the mandated fare, eight pesos (P8.00) for every four (4) kilometers. But the LTFRB are already considering that the e-jeepneys charge lower than the mandatory fare, having it a five (P5.00) to six (P6.00) pesos. E-jeepney drivers will be paid as minimum wage employees, and not by "boundary" system.
By setting a salary for the drivers, ensures the safety of the passengers, since the drivers will not be speeding through the streets to meet a target boundary.
This is indeed a historic moment and a big step towards green solutions. With the success of the e-jeepney, the transport group are hoping to have more investors. Not just for the e-jeepney, but also for other alternative energy sources. One of which is to use LPG as an alternative to diesel, though feasibility study and testing is yet to start, it is still very good to hear that we are actually pushing for green solutions.

HEAT PUMPS
www.geotermiaitalia.it/catalogo/prodotti.html
Geothermal heat pumps;
Air-water heat pumps;
Exhaust air heat pumps.
They are energy efficient complete systems for heating and cooling which is both economic and environmentally sustainable .
This technology is available both for residential single / multi-family and industrial and commercial buildings.
The geothermal heat pump uses as a heat source the subsoil or ground water and allows a cost savings for the heating up to 80%.
You do not need to reside in a thermal area to enjoy the benefits of underground heat: from 10 m depth the soil temperature remains almost constant throughout the year, and around 100 meters the temperatures are around the 10 - 12 °C constituting a heat source for the optimum operation of the heat pump.
The air-water heat pump uses as a source of heat the outside air and allows a cost savings for the heating up to 50-60%.
It can produce hot water for heating or sanitary uses up to temperatures of 65 °C with only the compressor and work up to temperatures of -25 °C!
The exhaust air heat pump uses as a heat source stale air present in the house, allows a cost savings for the heating up to 50%.
Hi! I learned a lot in your blog site. Very informative.TechVoo is the technology franchise that has expert technicians that take care of every hardware and software repair.
