Production Set to Begin

The anticipation is growing as CATSI prepares to start production in 2024. This milestone, which was recently approved by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), represents not only a major accomplishment for CATSI but also a revolutionary turning point for the country's electric transportation industry.

​According to the Management of CHPC, “Although the Philippines lag behind our neighbors with regard to the adoption of Electric Vehicles, we expect a big turnaround in the industry very soon. Asian Development Bank (ADB); based on their publication in 2022 about the Electric Motorcycle Roadmap; stated that there will be around 300 Million units in Asia by the year 2030. In the Philippines, there are an estimated 18.8 Million registered and unregistered gas motorcycles and expected to increase more with 22.20% CAGR, highest growth rate among Southeast Asia. This data drives CATSI to target at least 1 Million units within 3 to 4 years for domestic sales alone, as we expect most consumer will embrace the Electric Vehicle specially the 2-wheel as the main transport solution.”
