Muntinlupa City has added eight BYD Dolphin electric vehicles (EVs)<\/a> to its police fleet, bringing battery-powered cars into daily law enforcement operations as the city expands its use of cleaner public-service transport.<\/p>\n

BYD Cars Philippines<\/a> formally turned over the eight units to the City Government of Muntinlupa, with all vehicles assigned to the Muntinlupa Police Station for Philippine National Police (PNP) operations and road patrols.<\/p>\n

The new EVs will support daily patrols and other law enforcement activities across Muntinlupa.<\/p>\n

Beyond providing additional vehicles for police operations, the city expects the electric cars to reduce some of the recurring costs associated with conventional internal-combustion patrol vehicles.<\/p>\n

BYD points to lower maintenance requirements and the elimination of fuel expenses as potential sources of operational savings for government fleets.<\/p>\n

Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the acquisition forms part of Muntinlupa’s longer-term investment in clean energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith electric patrol cars, our police force can stay on the road longer without worry and gives them a more reliable way to serve our community,\u201d Biazon said.<\/p>\n

EVs become p art of Muntinlupa’s green transport push<\/h4>\n

The police fleet deployment forms part of Muntinlupa’s broader sustainability and green transport initiatives.<\/p>\n

The city government has been pursuing greater use of clean-energy technologies, while the addition of EVs to a frontline public-service fleet puts electrification into a practical operational setting.<\/p>\n

For police departments, fleet electrification also involves considerations beyond emissions, including vehicle availability, charging infrastructure, maintenance, and operating costs.<\/p>\n

The Muntinlupa deployment provides an example of how an LGU can incorporate EVs into an existing public-service fleet rather than limiting their use to private transportation.<\/p>\n

BYD expands LGU fleet partnerships<\/h4>\n

For BYD Cars Philippines, the Muntinlupa deal adds to its growing number of fleet partnerships with local government units and government agencies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The company is positioning EVs as an option for public-service fleets as LGUs assess the long-term costs and operational requirements of electrification.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuntinlupa’s decision to electrify its police fleet reflects the kind of forward-thinking leadership we hope to see in more local governments,\u201d said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines.<\/p>\n

He added that the company aims to work with LGUs moving toward cleaner and more cost-efficient public-service fleets.<\/p>\n

With eight BYD Dolphins now assigned to Muntinlupa’s police force, the city joins the growing number of Philippine government fleets beginning to use EVs for frontline operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
