The Euro-4 compliant tricycles are all fuel efficient – 36 kilometer per liter of fuel – has a low maintenance cost and flexibility on modifications because the Piaggio can be used for transport, roving business or deliveries. The 38 units were the first batch of tricycles that comply with the City Government’s thrust on 5-year modernization program.

Climaco stressed her strong commitment to support tricycle drivers and cooperatives to modernize their outdated vehicles. “There shall be no phase out of tricycles and we support our tricycle drivers…tricycle operators and drivers association, and that is why we have this modernization program for all tricycle drivers and operators,” she said.
