First Balfour plans to deploy electric buses in Iloilo City | Lenie Lectura

First Balfour Inc., the Lopez Group’s engineering and construction arm, plans to deploy in Iloilo City a fleet of electric buses and develop a supporting infrastructure, potentially a bus rapid transit system.

The plan to develop a green, electric-powered transport system is meant to support the city’s transformation into one of the country’s most livable and highly urbanized cities. This plan was conveyed to local government officials, led by Mayor Jerry Treñas, during a recent meeting.

The company said the transport sector is considered a major contributor to climate change because it is dominated by vehicles that use mainly gasoline and diesel as fuel. When burned, these fossil fuels release massive amounts of carbon dioxide, one of the heat-trapping greenhouse gases behind global warming and climate change.
