# Coron, Palawan deployment

Since 2019, GerWeiss has deployed 50+ commercial e-trikes and supporting battery-swap and charging infrastructure in Coron, Palawan - the second island ecosystem in the GerWeiss national network.

## Deployment signals

- Since 2019: Coron operations
- 50+: Deployed units
- Full ecosystem: Infrastructure delivered
- < 2 min: Battery swap time

Coron is the second island in the Philippines GerWeiss electrified at public-transport scale. Since 2019, GerWeiss has deployed a full electric public transport ecosystem in Coron, Palawan, with more than 50 commercial e-trikes in active service and a Philippine field service team on the ground.

## The Coron deployment challenge

Coron is a tourism-critical destination with dispersed pickup points, narrow mixed-use roads, and limited local automotive service depth. Electrifying public transport here required a supplier who could bring vehicles, charging infrastructure, swap stations, and a local maintenance team in one package - not just ship e-trikes to a port and leave.

## The GerWeiss Coron ecosystem

GerWeiss stood up the full Coron ecosystem: 50+ locally manufactured commercial e-trikes, fast charging and solar charging, under-2-minute battery hot-swap, and a Philippine aftersales team. Unlike one-off import pilots, the Coron rollout was structured to sustain multi-year operations - with financing that allowed local cooperatives to deploy with zero cash out.

## Why Coron matters

Coron is operational proof that the Boracay playbook replicates to other Philippine tourism islands. Fleet operators, LGUs, and funders evaluating e-trike procurement in the Visayas and Palawan can treat Coron as a second live reference deployment - with multi-year service data, a full operating stack, and an incumbent Philippine team.
