Bajaj Wego P5009 becomes workhorse for Pangasinan data network provider
A data network provider from Pangasinan has turned to an electric three-wheeler as a practical option for his daily work and business.
Jay Mark Aquino decided to get a new vehicle after seeing an opportunity to expand his business. As a technician whose work mostly takes him around the city, he was looking for a vehicle that could help keep his operating costs down.
I bought a vehicle because I had a good opportunity in business.
Aquino is also a fan of electric vehicles and chose the Bajaj Wego P5009 after considering its practicality for his daily needs. His familiarity with the Bajaj name also played a role in his decision.
The vehicle’s operating cost was another major consideration. With frequent trips around the city, Aquino sees lower energy costs as a way to reduce his day-to-day expenses and potentially recover his investment over time.
The Bajaj Wego P5009 has a claimed running cost of as low as PHP0.80 per kilometer. It can travel up to 212 kilometers on a full charge and takes around 4.5 hours to fully recharge.
Its range and charging time also fit Aquino’s daily routine, allowing him to use the vehicle for work without having to make frequent charging stops. The Wego P5009 also comes with Smart Driving Modes, which provide different driving settings depending on road and driving conditions.
Aquino is among the first owners of the electric three-wheeler in his area, where the vehicle has attracted attention from people who see it on the road.
He also sees the simpler mechanical layout of an electric vehicle as an advantage for his work. With fewer moving parts and no engine oil to replace, he expects maintenance costs to be lower over the long term.
While the Wego P5009 requires a higher initial investment compared with some conventional vehicles, Aquino sees the potential savings from daily operation as a way to offset the upfront cost.
For him, the vehicle is also tied to his plans for his work and business, giving the purchase a more personal meaning beyond its practical benefits.
My strength comes from the dream that will be fulfilled together with the Bajaj Wego.
