Hariphil Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the trusted name behind Hyundai Trucks and Buses in the Philippines, is electrifying the future of public transport with the arrival of the Hyundai County Electric.
As the brand’s pioneering all-electric minibus, it redefines mobility with zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation, and cost-efficient performance, ushering in a smarter, greener way to move people.
Launched on May 2, 2025, at the Hyundai Truck and Bus Evolution Mobility Expo, it signifies HARI’s continuing commitment to providing sustainable transport solutions that empower communities and support national goals for cleaner mobility.
Smart Power, Everyday Efficiency
At the heart of the County Electric is a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor that delivers 150 kW (204 ps) and 40.3 kg-m (395Nm) of torque, providing more than enough power for both urban and intercity travel. Its 128 kWh lithium-ion battery offers an extended range of up to 303 kilometers on a single charge, ideal for daily operations with fewer charging interruptions.
And when it’s time to recharge, the County EV supports rapid charging, achieving full capacity in just 72 minutes using a high-capacity 150kW DC charger.
The County EV boasts zero tailpipe emissions and near-silent operation, making it a greener and future-forward option that elevates the road experience of drivers and passengers. It’s an ideal choice for schools, shuttles, tourism groups, and corporate fleets seeking to modernize and reduce their carbon footprints while offering a smoother, more comfortable ride.
The Future of Efficient Transport
Designed for maximum efficiency, the County Electric revolutionizes modern transport with a streamlined mechanical system, eliminating traditional fuel assemblies and minimizing fluid requirements. Extensive simulated operational testing (covering 100,000 kilometers or five years of service) has proven its superior cost-effectiveness, delivering up to 21% savings in maintenance and charging costs compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) models.
Experience sustainable performance, long-term savings, and peace of mind, all in one innovative package. Upgrade to smarter mobility with County Electric.
Supporting the Nation’s Shift to E-Mobility
The introduction of the Hyundai County Electric aligns with the Philippine government’s vision for sustainable mobility, supporting Republic Act No. 11697 or the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), and Executive Order No. 12, which aim to accelerate EV adoption and infrastructure development.
These policies are further guided by the Comprehensive Roadmap for the Electric Vehicle Industry (CREVI), a nationwide plan for creating a robust EV ecosystem. By introducing electric transport, HARI reaffirms its role as a partner in building a cleaner transport future.
“The County Electric represents HARI’s mission to provide practical, high-performing, and future-ready mobility solutions. It’s built for businesses and institutions that value sustainability and are committed to a cleaner, safer future for the communities they serve,” said HARI Vice Chairman, President, and CEO Maria Fe Perez-Agudo.
