MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Solar, Power & EV Expo 2026 and the Philippine Construction & Building Materials Expo 2026 brought together businesses and professionals from across the energy, mobility, construction, and building industries at SMX Convention Center Manila last September 24-25, 2026. The events created a shared platform for exhibitors, suppliers, decision-makers, and technical experts to showcase solutions, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities in the Philippines and the wider Southeast Asian market.

The Philippine Solar, Power & EV Expo 2026 focused on technologies and services supporting the transition to more efficient and sustainable energy and transportation systems. Its showcase covered solar power, power generation, energy storage, electrical equipment, electric vehicles, and related charging and support technologies. The event offered visitors a chance to learn about emerging products and solutions while connecting with companies working across the clean-energy and electric-mobility value chains.

Running alongside it, the Philippine Construction & Building Materials Expo 2026 presented products and services for the construction and built-environment sectors. Exhibits covered construction equipment, tools, and building materials, as well as tiles, ceramics, marble, stone, sanitaryware, lighting, paints, and coatings. Visitors could also explore solutions in smart-home technology, security, and building automation.

The construction-focused showcase extended to kitchen and bath products, roofing and façade systems, prefabricated buildings, HVAC, and fire and water management technologies. Electrical, engineering, and telecommunications systems were also represented, alongside specialized areas such as construction chemicals, insulation, and scaffolding. Together, these displays offered attendees a broad view of the products and technologies used throughout the building lifecycle.

The two expos attracted a diverse professional audience, including engineers, contractors, architects, interior designers, project managers, developers, infrastructure planners, distributors, and procurement specialists. Their participation helped foster conversations across sectors that increasingly intersect—for example, as buildings incorporate renewable energy, energy-management systems, and electric-vehicle charging infrastructure.

Beyond product displays, the events provided opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and business development. Exhibitors could introduce their offerings to potential customers and partners, while visitors could compare solutions, meet suppliers, and learn about developments relevant to their projects and organizations.

By bringing energy, electric mobility, construction, and building materials under a broader industry platform, the Philippine Solar, Power & EV Expo 2026 and the Philippine Construction & Building Materials Expo 2026 underscored the importance of collaboration in a rapidly changing market. The events supported connections among local and international stakeholders and encouraged discussion of the technologies and partnerships that can help shape the region’s future infrastructure.

Bajaj Philippines officially launched the Wego P5009, its first electric three-wheeler in the local market, on September 22, 2026, in Lipa, Batangas. The launch marks the company’s introduction of an electric three-wheeler for Filipino customers and operators, with the model aimed at passenger transport, deliveries, and other commercial uses.

The Wego P5009 is powered by a 4.5 kW electric motor and a 9.216 kWh battery. Bajaj claims it can travel up to 212 kilometers on a full charge. The vehicle comes with a 2.2 kW charger, and a full recharge takes approximately 4.5 hours. Actual range and charging time may vary depending on road conditions, vehicle load, driving style, battery condition, and access to a suitable charging source.

The model includes four driving modes: Eco, Power, Climb, and Park Assist. These modes are intended to provide drivers options for different operating needs, from everyday driving to routes that require additional climbing capability or careful low-speed maneuvering. The available information does not specify how much performance or range differs between each mode.

Bajaj estimates the Wego P5009’s operating cost at approximately ₱0.80 per kilometer. This estimate is based on an electricity rate of ₱15 per kWh, the battery’s stated capacity, and the company’s claimed driving range. Owners’ actual costs will depend on their electricity provider, charging efficiency, route, cargo or passenger load and how frequently the vehicle is used.

The electric three-wheeler is being positioned for a range of applications, including passenger transport, small-business operations, deliveries, and local government services. For operators, the battery-powered drivetrain could offer an alternative to conventional fuel-powered vehicles. Potential savings will vary, however, according to each operator’s mileage, charging arrangements, maintenance needs, and local energy costs.

The Wego P5009 has an introductory price of ₱329,888 and is available through 38 Bajaj 3S Shops nationwide. Bajaj states that the vehicle, battery, and motor are covered by a warranty of 36 months or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Prospective buyers can contact a participating dealership for details about availability, financing, service support, and the terms of the warranty.

With the Wego P5009, Bajaj adds another electric three-wheeler to the Philippines’ growing mobility scene. Designed for passenger and commercial use, it brings a new option to operators seeking practical, all-electric transport.
