E-jeepneys are 14-seater light passenger which runs on pure electricity supplied by rechargeable automotive batteries, and does not consume either gasoline or diesel to operate. Therefore, it has no noise, no fumes, no harmful emissions.
This e-jeepney Project has been labelled in the Discovery Channel documentary Ecopolis as "the best new modern mass transport technology with the best chance of saving the world's cities from the dangers of pollution."

The general objective of this forum is to conduct a 2-day education dissemination drive on the existing air quality management status and government efforts to reduce and minimize air pollution. This project also aims to capacitate LGUs to perform emission inventory system by providing database as guides on proper maintenance of vehicles and safety tips on eco driving; to strengthen LGUs participation in addressing air quality management activities which will be included in their application for the “Seal of Good local Governance”; and for LGUs to “buy in” the strategies of clean fleet management and conduct proper implementation in their respective area of jurisdictions through a resolution and City ordinance. The knowledge on database (i.e. emission inventory) and learnings gained from the forum will give important input as well as opportunities for the LGUs to understand the mobile sources as outdoor air pollutants in order for them to strategize and conduct proper implementation of maintaining vehicle to help in bringing down air particulate levels on their respective area of jurisdictions.

It provides excellent facilities, such as fully covered elevated/depressed pedestrian interchanges; hallways that are either well-ventilated or equipped with air-conditioning system; rest rooms and other amenities. A crosssectioning of the City favors the practicality of a walkway and bikeway network in terms of travel time and distances from identified usual trip origins and destinations with the Makati CBD as reference point. The Makati Poblacion Heritage Core, for instance, is no more than 2 and a half kilometer away from Guadalupe or about 50 minutes of leisurely walk of about 20 minutes per kilometer or a mere 10 minutes bike ride at normal bike speed of 15 kilometers per hour. The EDSA - Buendia MRT Station is an even shorter route at only 2 kilometers via low traffic density Jupiter and Burgos.
