Honda’s Mobile Power Pack tested in Romblon

MANILA: Honda is doing great in the sustainable initiative so far and we are liking what the company is working on. The company recently tested its new sustainable initiatives and it had chosen Romblon as the site.

The Romelco (Romblon Electric Cooperative) has teamed up with Komaihaltec in order to develop the use of wind power in the province. A whopping Php 242 million has been allocated for this project. Interestingly, half of this amount has been donated by the Ministry of Environment of Japan.

Romblon Electric Cooperative will be putting up its first three wind turbines that are leased from Komaihaltec. Following this, another set will be up in 2020. The Co-operative’s vision is to successfully host 90% of the renewable energy by next year. It presently powers 25,000 houses in and around the province, besides using hydro-electricity in Sibuyan and solar-diesel hybrid in Cobrador.

With this venture, Honda is up to demonstrate the capabilities of its Mobile Power Pack technology. Plus, it took advantage of the co-operation with Komaihaltec to put an exchanger that would store the extra generated wind in the Mobile Power Pack. Two of such set up are used in the PCX Electric 2-wheeler.

Coming to the performance of Honda PCX electric, it uses the Mobile Power Pack that offers a maximum range of 41 kilometres. It can go up to an speed of 60 kmph on a single charge. This scooter is a big part of the company’s global efforts towards reducing carbon emission and also create a clean and sustainable development for better future mobility.
