| Resource Title | The future of creating indigineous hybrid and electric vehicles in the Philippines - a technology foresight through scenario building |
| Date Issued | 8 January 2026 |
| Abstract | This capstone project provided multiple scenarios on the future of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing in the Philippines by local automotive firms. This paper assessed the economic and technological capabilities, government policies, and social acceptance that will shape the local EV manufacturing for the next 10 years. Multiple foresight methods are used such as STEEP and SWOT analysis, scenario building, and road mapping. The study analyzed the current industry capabilities, supply chain system, government regulatory frameworks, human resource readiness, and the electric infrastructure of the Philippines. This project produced economic and policy recommendations for the government, a technology roadmap for the EV firms, and a working framework to boost the EV manufacturing capabilities in the country. Three scenarios are presented in this paper, with the first one focusing on the best outcome for the EV manufacturing sector in the Philippines, driven by huge government policy support through fiscal incentives and the like, energy infrastructure development, and funding of research and development for technology transfer between government and private institutions. The second scenario foresaw market-driven forces as developers of the sector instead of a holistic government policy implementation support. The last scenario focused on a lackluster outcome for the EV manufacturing industry as the country is outcompeted by neighboring nations with its lack of government support in financial aspects, combined with lagging energy infrastructures, and an unskilled workforce. |
