FMC Elektron, the fully integrated electric vehicle (EV) designed for large-scale deployment by Francisco Motors, is now ready for nationwide implementation, with a 10,000-unit government fleet rollout already in the works.
Following the announcement of the official trademark registration of FMC Elektron by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines last Tuesday, May 5, Francisco Motors is now accelerating the country’s transition to electric mobility.
According to a Facebook post by Chairman Francisco, the Elektron has “already [been] tested in real-world conditions and proven reliable as several units were quietly rolled out and are already running on the streets in 10 countries.”
With the EV already proven and tested, the company is now focusing on a well-timed and well-planned implementation in the Philippines, particularly in preparing the Elektron for full-scale commercialization.
“The Philippines is no longer preparing for the transition to electric mobility. It is ready to execute it—at scale,” Francisco stated.
The FMC chairman also hinted in another Facebook post on May 10 that the FMC Elektron is just the beginning.
“The future is not just electric vehicles. The future is mobility infrastructure. That’s what Francisco Motors is all about,” he said.
