Philippine Made First Hybrid Electric Train Unveiled

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Philippine National Railways (PNR) unveiled their first Philippine made hybrid electric train. The five-car Electric Hybrid Train (EHT) is designed and developed locally that could run on standard railroad tracks.

DOST Secretary Mario Montejo, PNR General Manager Joseph Allan Dilay and PNR Chairman board of directors' Manuel Torres graced the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the PNR Tutuban Station.

The EHT has seven trains operating in Metro Manila, from Caloocan City to Alabang. And after 3 to 6 months the Electric Hybrid Trains will operates outside Metro Manila, from Tutuban to Calamba.

Faster prototypes

3D printing is already challenging the conventional work practices of car manufacturers.  Time is money and by using 3D printing, car manufacturers can quickly create a tangible prototype of a would-be car model. Moreover, car manufacturers are always looking for ways to cut costs and 3D printing allows for creation of prototypes in a matter of hours. Then, once the prototype is tried and tested, they simply have to update the design and print it out again for further testing.
