An eye-catching king of the road will soon invade Iloilo City streets.
The sporty and futuristic feel of trikes (popularly known as tricycle) is the brainchild of Abella Transport Manufacturing Industries situated at Quezon Street in Arevalo district.
Abella’s “Sidecar Body for Motorcycle” grabbed a runner up spot in the Regional Invention Contest and Exhibit (RICE) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST6) held at Amigo Plaza Mall here Oct. 21.
Originally designed and built in Iloilo, the new generation trikes are envisioned as an environment-friendly income-generating mode of transportation.
“Imagine an electric version of these… little steps on smokey air no more for the Philippines! Superb livelihood project for the poor from the radically designed small transport three-wheeled vehicle,” said Vince Abella on his Facebook.
The wonders of technology proved amazing as the trikes of the future have generated a lot of interest from hundreds to thousand of FB users.
“It’s the look that captures the eye of every passerby. Sporty design grabs your attention at first glance. Yet this sportiness belies the incredible spaciousness inside,” the firm said in its blogsite http://www.gwaforidinexperience.multiply.com.
“The forward-shifted body appears ready to leap forward with a radically slanted windshield slices through the wind and liberates the passengers view.
From the bold face to the cut-off tail, the smoothly integrated trikes imparts a sense of spirited performance and sure-footed agility.
Step inside and discover a liberating sense of openness far beyond your expectations.
Stretch out, relax and enjoy the remarkable spaciousness made possible by innovative trikes packaging.
Plentiful legroom and headroom keep your passengers comfortable even on extended journeys.
When you drive the new trikes, you’ll feel comfortable and refreshed.”

In the Philippines, the sources of GHG or what we call Greenhouse Gases that contributes to Global Warming are: Energy(including transport)-49%, Industry 10%, Agriculture-32%, Waste-9%. We can greatly help mitigate disaster (like what happened to CDO recently) and climate change by promoting and patronizing the electric version or these.
same dog, different collar. unless and until electric models are made available, these futuristic trikes will still emit those old-fashoned smoke that pollutes the atmosphere. but kudos to the designer. the designs are really nice.
that’s the way to go, one step at a time…today the beautiful body, tomorrow the eco-friendly engine.
I love the looks of these futuristic trikes. This, no doubt, will be a big boost for tourism. Where else can you find it but in the Philippines! But, really, looks to me like its made for racing and not for servicing passengers. By the way, thanks for stumbling over my blog site.

Very nice,will find time to visit your plant
Invention? Wonders of technology? What invention? What technology? You’re only hitching on existing technology. You’re just modifying an invention.
yes, because it’s an original design…
“Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, machinery, and procedures.” (via wikipedia)
mr. rabe, that is the whole idea modifying and innovating something that is existing. it raises our expectation level and commitment to improve things. that defines our lives.
There’s ablsolutely nothing wrong with those usage as it’s correct. Your crab mentality sickens me.
