Revolutionizing Public Transportation: The Jeepney X E101 Modern Electric Jeepney — Combatting Rising Fuel Costs with Sustainable Innovation

Jeepney X, Inc., a leading local distributor in the Philippine market, proudly unveils its flagship model: the E101 Class II Modern Electric Jeepney. Designed as a practical and eco-friendly solution to soaring fuel prices, this state-of-the-art electric jeepney promises efficient, affordable, and sustainable urban transit.

Spacious and Comfortable Design

Measuring 5,037 mm in length and 2,028 mm in width, the E101 comfortably accommodates up to 22 passengers (excluding standing space). Its ergonomic interior features long cushioned bench seats with side-facing arrangements and an easy-to-operate electric folding passenger door. The spacious cabin ensures passenger comfort for daily city commutes.

Driver-Centric Features

The cockpit is thoughtfully designed for driver convenience, featuring an adjustable (sliding and reclining) bucket seat with a headrest. The driver’s dashboard boasts elegant wood panel accents, a four-spoke polyurethane steering wheel, and a modern colored instrument meter with an LED multi-information display. Entertainment is seamless with a 9-inch touchscreen system supporting Bluetooth and USB connectivity, complemented by six roof-mounted speakers, three USB ports, and a dedicated cupholder.

Enhanced Safety Features

Safety is paramount in the E101. It includes:

  • Three-point emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelt for the driver
  • Two-point lap seatbelt for the front passenger
  • Wide rearview mirror and large sideview mirrors with a front ball mirror
  • Long stainless handrails with safety grab handles
  • Mechanical lever parking brake
  • Emergency safety shut-off button
  • Window guard rails
  • Fire extinguisher and six emergency safety hammers
  • Wiper-blade-mounted washer system with intermittent wipers

Ease of Driving and Handling

Despite its length, the electric jeepney offers a smooth driving experience thanks to:

  • Hassle-free automatic toggle-switch transmission
  • Electronic power steering
  • Leaf-spring all-wheel suspension with eight springs per wheel
  • 215/70 R15 tubeless steel rims equipped with durable tires
  • All-wheel drum hydraulic braking system

Powertrain and Battery Technology

Powered by a 72-Volt, 240-Ampere AC asynchronous motor (4×2 rear-wheel drive), the vehicle delivers a maximum of 15 kW (20 HP) and reaches speeds up to 35 kph — ideal for city routes. Its dual swappable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) CALB batteries (each 52 kWh) are sealed with IP54-rated protection to withstand dust and splashes. These batteries, accessible from both sides, support a range of up to 150 kilometers per charge.

Warranty and Pricing

This eco-friendly jeepney comes with a three-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty covering the electrical system, including the batteries. Priced affordably at PhP 2,650,000 for the non-aircon variant and PhP 2,875,000 for the air-conditioned version, the E101 offers a cost-effective solution for operators aiming to reduce fuel expenses and environmental impact.
