Promoting Electric Vehicle Projects in the Philippines
Subic Bay, Zambales - September 11, 2009 - Dave Dewbre, EVC (Electric Vehicle Consultant) and CEO of Digital Web Group Inc, along with Willy Dela Cruz, CEO of Eagle Motorcycles, announces the upcoming release of electric tricycles in the Philippines. Addressing the need for alternative transportation, driven by emerging economies and decreasing petroleum reserves, Dave Dewbre goes on a joint venture with Eagle Motorcycles to promote electric tricycle projects for Philippines cities. Eagle Motorcycle's electric tricycles and electric motorbikes are nationally accredited by the LTO (Land Transportation Office).
Dave Dewbre, an environment protection advocate, invested heavily in EVs and particularly in electric motorcycle research and development for over four years in order to help problems such as air pollution, global warming and rising energy costs. A lot of technology has been developed and more is underway. All of the final products can easily be upgraded as technology changes. They are also safe, economical and aerodynamic in design.
The company will be opening distribution and retail outlets in all major locations. They will also establish several battery charging stations and provide training for upcoming EV mechanics. This project will not only contribute to environment protection, but will also provide job
opportunities for the Filipino community.

June 13, 2009 - Mayor Ed Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines wanted to know if our environment friendly 3000 Watt electric motorcycles would pull an old existing Palawan side car. These sidecars are mounted on gas burning motorcycles, thus becoming a tricycle. That same day Dave Dewbre, EVC/CEO, designed a mounting system and took it to a local welder who had it ready at 8am the following morning!
The electric powered bikes were tested by Mayor Ed Hagedorn together with Dave Dewbre, EVC (Electric Vehicle Consultant), and Willy dela Cruz, CEO of Eagle Motorcycles, as part of the electronic vehicle feasibility study for Puerto Princesa’s existing gas fueled tricycle problem. Mayor Ed Hagedorn, known to be an environmentalist, is aware that eco friendly transportation is vital to the Puerto Princesa’s progress, thus seeking different options on how to minimize air pollution without jeopardizing Puerto Princesa’s growth and the livelihood of his people.
