The Philippine Star|September 20, 2024

LOUELLA DESIDERIO

“If the Philippine government could kindly consider to extend this deadline of EO (Executive Order) 62, I think it will be positive for the automotive industry,” Toshio Kuwahara, vice president and head of regional operations (Asia and Oceania) at Honda Motor Co. said during the launch of the company’s electrification campaign in the Philippines.

He said extending the implementation of zero import tariffs would help accelerate electrification and encourage sales of EVs including hybrid models.
