The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in the Philippines has opened 7,500 ride-hailing slots exclusively for electric vehicles (EVs) in Metro Manila, with additional slots in the Ilocos and Bicol Regions. This move aims to promote the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric and battery electric vehicles in public transport services.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The LTFRB's exclusive allocation for electric vehicle ride-hailing slots in Metro Manila opens a clear market route for EV fleet operators. You can now accelerate plans to build or scale EV-based ride services in the city with regulatory backing.
