THE STRATEGIC PLAN

1. Return to Core Manufacturing

Reclaiming our legacy, Francisco Motors™ returns to what we do best — designing, manufacturing, and assembling the JEEPNEY™ and PINOY™.
Our new generation of vehicles are:

  • Built on electric and hydrogen powertrains.

  • Engineered for durability, comfort, and safety.

  • Enhanced with modern design and smart features that honor our heritage while embracing the future.

2. Institutional Strengthening

We’re professionalizing every layer of our organization:

  • A world-class management and operations team.

  • Stronger internal systems and governance.

  • Scalable manufacturing standards aligned with international benchmarks

3. Market Re-Entry & Expansion

We’re reintroducing the JEEPNEY™ and PINOY™ with precision and purpose.

Our roadmap includes:

  • Market research and competitor analysis nationwide.

  • Aggressive pricing strategy — up to 20% more affordable than the competition.

  • Renewed partnerships with dealers, cooperatives, and financial institutions.

  • 100 FMC Hubs nationwide offering sales, service, charging, and refilling stations.

  • Expansion to Asia, Africa, and Latin America, introducing Filipino innovation to developing markets.

4. Innovation Ecosystem

Smart Mobility through Jeepney.io + TsuperHero AFCS

Every vehicle connects to our proprietary Jeepney Wallet™ — an Automated Fare Collection System (AFCS) that powers cashless payments, microfinancing, and fleet data analytics.

Operators gain transparency.
Commuters gain convenience.
The nation gains efficiency.

This is transport meets technology — an entire digital economy on wheels.

  • Replacing aging fleets (average age 20+ years).

  • Ensuring compliance with the Clean Air Act.

  • Developing renewable energy ecosystems and hydrogen infrastructure in partnership with LGUs and national agencies.

  • Promoting road safety, green logistics, and energy independence.

6. Financial Accessibility

Modern mobility must be within reach.

We’re launching affordable in-house financing and also partnering with local banks to help drivers and operators transition smoothly.

Our pricing strategy:

  • Competitive at around ₱2.8 million per unit.

  • Focused on managing manufacturing costs and maintaining healthy margins.

  • Built for mass adoption — without compromising quality or brand value.

THE ROAD AHEAD

100 Hubs. One Nation. Infinite Possibilities.

We’re building 100 Francisco Motors Hubs across the Philippines — each serving as a renewable-powered ecosystem of:

  • Sales and showrooms

  • Service and spare parts

  • Charging and hydrogen refilling

  • Operator support and training

Every hub is a symbol of national progress — and a gateway to a cleaner, smarter, and more connected Philippines.

By exporting Filipino-made electric and hydrogen vehicles, we position the Philippines as:

  • A regional manufacturing hub for sustainable mobility.

  • A model for inclusive modernization in emerging markets.

  • A global ambassador of Filipino engineering excellence.
