Exec intends to make hydrogen-powered vehicles in RP

MANILA, Philippines - A local auto executive expressed interest in making hydrogen-powered cars in the Philippines, adding he will propose the initiative to his South Korean partner.

Jose Alvarez, who heads a company that distributes Korean-made Kia cars locally, said he plans to spend P3 billion “for plant expansion and manufacturing, which is still two to three years down the road."

Although the technology is in its development stage and has yet to be commercially tested—even in Korea—Alvarez said he can convince his Korean partners to choose the Philippines as a hub for hydrogen-powered vehicles.
