CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - Transportation vehicle genius Elmer Francisco, the man behind the success of Francisco Motor jeepneys in the Philippines, announces another exciting development for the transport sector.

Francisco said his company, which in decades only focused on the mass production of jeepneys in the Philippines, will venture into another exciting and technologically-advanced mode of transport vehicle to be known as eVTOL.

"eVTOL stands for Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing. Perfect for our over 7,101-island archipelago for public transportation, last mile delivery, tourism, emergency response, disaster relief, law enforcement, defense and also to patrol our borders." Francisco explained.

As this developed, e-Francisco Motors Corporation and with HDEX Hydrogen Exchange inked a deal with LuftCar, a Florida, USA-based aircraft company.
