Quezon City launches centralized vehicle management system with 26 hybrid units

On Tuesday, Feb. 18, the Quezon City government launched a centralized vehicle management system that includes acquiring 23 hybrid vehicles and three commuter vans to meet the city government employees' transportation needs.

Mayor Joy Belmonte emphasized that this new system aims to streamline internal processes for more efficient service delivery, eliminating the need for individual departments to purchase their own vehicles.

In collaboration with Clean Air Asia, the Quezon City Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department will monitor the environmental impact of the initiative using data from air monitoring systems.

Developed in-house, the software powering this system has led to budgetary savings that allowed for the acquisition of additional hybrid vehicles.

A test run was conducted in early February to identify and address any potential challenges in managing the new fleet.
