An Electric Jeepney (E-Jeepney), the first public transport system of its kind in Southeast Asia, coasts along Ayala Avenue in the Philippines' financial capital of Makati City. The jeepneys - electric-powered version of the Philippine icon which traces its roots to the US Willy's jeep - were launched by GRIPP (Green Renewable Independent Power Producer), Greenpeace, and the Makati City Government. The Electric Jeepneys, part of an innovative project led by GRIPP, are meant to steer clear of the use of fossil fuels to help mitigate climate change, even as they address urban problems such as air pollution and solid waste.
