Since 2017, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has been pushing for a greener mode of transportation by implementing the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). It aims to phase-out old public transportation vehicles and replace them with safer and more environmentally-friendly vehicles.
Foton F-Jeepney F29
Foton Motor Philippines, Inc. (FMPI) is one with the program as it will be joining the modern jeepney market in the country by introducing three modern jeepneys, namely the F-Jeepney F29, F-Jeepney F24, and the F-Jeepney F11.
The Foton F-Jeepney F29 is the largest entry among the bunch. It can provide commuters with a comfortable jeepney experience thanks to its 29-seating configuration, Wi-Fi connectivity, CCTV system, and an LED TV screen.
