The Philippine government is set to enforce stricter safety regulations for electric vehicles carried on passenger ferries, aiming to mitigate fire risks associated with their increased use. Authorities are responding to recent incidents where battery-related fires on ferries have raised concerns over potential hazards during sea crossings. New guidelines will likely include enhanced inspection protocols and operational restrictions to ensure safer transport of these vehicles. The move reflects growing regulatory attention to emerging risks as electric vehicles become more common in maritime transport.
