Subic Bay, Zambales – September 11, 2009 – Dave Dewbre, EVC (Electric Vehicle Consultant) and CEO of Digital Web Group Inc, and 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.

Electric Taxi Tricycle

Dave Dewbre and his wife Diana J. Limjoco, a Batangueña awarded by GoNegosyo as the Most Inspiring Batangueño Entrepreneur last November 2008, Special Category, also included in Gonegosyo's newly released book, 2009, 55 Inspiring Stories of Female Entrepreneurs, and also the CFO of Digital Web Group Inc, are both advocates of environment protection. Diana's ecological advocacy started since the 1960s.

Realizing the importance of environment protection, Dave 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.

After the success in the development of electric tricycles and motorcycles, Dave Dewbre, together with Eagle Motorcycles, started collaborating with certain leaders of progressive communities for the conversion of noisy and smoke belching motorcycles to the new environment friendly electric motorcycles. One of the leaders that started to take the first few steps to green reform is Mayor Ed Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa City in Palawan. In June 2009, the electric powered motorcycles were tested by Mayor Ed Hagedorn together with Dave Dewbre, EVC, 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. They have retrofitted the motorcycles with sidecars to test the ability of the electric motorcycles to function under existing streets, inclines and passenger scenarios. It was a success and now Mayor Ed Hagedorn took a big step and decided to phase out the old gas fueled tricycles and replace them with the new environment friendly electric motorcycles.

In line with this, Eagle Motorcycles will be opening distribution and retail outlets in all major locations to further provide consultations and services. 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.

Dave Dewbre and Diana Limjoco never stop promoting and reminding people about environment protection. It is imperative that we start environment conservation today. The air we pollute today is the air our children will breathe tomorrow. If we neglect the need for environment conservation, we will be the culprit for the deaths of the future generation. Right now, even lawmakers were alarmed with rising mortality due to unmitigated air pollution and other environmental degradation. Be responsible and go green today.
