Electrifying Philippine Jeepneys

• CATEGORIES: Features, videos • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

With the Philippine government’s decision to modernize public transportation comes the need to make the famous Jeepneys more environmentally friendly. To that end, the 76-year-old Franciso Motors company has partnered with Tembo, who will provide electrification kits to Franciso Motors. Francisco spotted this older Jeepney, noting it was one the company built.

Francisco Jeepney makes both public transportation-sized Jeepneys and smaller, more familiar-sized jeep-like vehicles called Oners (if I understand the site correctly). .

Here is Elmer Francisco describing his goal with electric Jeepneys (takes a about a minute to get to the interview):

August 1969 Cars & Parts Jeep History Article

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features, Magazine This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I ran across this August 1969 Cars & Parts magazine on ebay with the below history about jeep history. In it, the author references the use of “GP” or “General Purpose”, claiming that was how the military referred to the jeep. I still have yet to document any evidence that during WWII jeeps were labeled or referred to as “GP” or “General Purpose”. So, I wish the article’s author would have included a reference or example (and welcome any examples).

As I have argued before, the switch from Ford calling its prototype a Pygmy to the company calling it a GP happened without explanation, other than this excuse: G=government and P=80″ wheelbase. But, if that’s the case, why wasn’t the first one called a GP? And, where is the GL, GO, GQ, GR, GT, GV, VW models built by Ford? And what are the chances Ford’s initialism, when sounded out as an acronym, *just happened* to sound like the word “jeep”, a term that was making the rounds about the time the Pygmy was dropped off at Holabird (according to later court testimony).

Anyway, here’s the article:

“This 1963 Willys Jeep FC-150 is a cab-over pickup that is red with gray upholstery. It is powered by a 226ci Buick Odd Fire V-6, mated with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual range transfer case. It was acquired by the seller in 2020 and is believed to have spent much of its life in Illinois and Pennsylvania. The FC was fully rebuilt by the previous owner, to include engine replacement, full wire harness and interior replaced. FC runs but needs a loving home and someone with a deep appreciation of the history of this vehicle and preferably is mechanically inclined. Unfortunately, I have run out time and need to sell it in preparation for a job relocation.”
