Hybrid-electric mobility will change our lives. The fact is, it has been here for the past 10 years when Toyota hybrid-electric-vehicles (HEV) were first introduced in the Philippines. Lifestyle change, education, and simple love of the environment are just some of the the ingredients that could make any ambitious project of the future possible. But, is the Filipino ready for this? Can we afford it? Or are hybrid-electric cars only for the elite, just like how we choose organic from the ordinary produce? The constant changing of consumer patterns need to be addressed in order to have a realistic sustainable mobility management.
