Nissan e-Kicks drive to Clark

Nissan Philippines officials and Nissan Kicks e-Power Club of the Philippines members went to Pampanga to showcase the capabilities of their vehicle’s efficient all-electric drive and also celebrates the club’s first anniversary.

The group conducted a fuel economy challenge where over 63 Kicks e-Power participants competed to push the limits of their vehicles’ efficiency as they drove from Manila to Clark. The drive started at Nissan’s North EDSA dealership followed by a pit-stop at Marilao, Bulacan. Loaded with a full tank of gas, participants went on their way and traveled at their own pace, employing different strategies and techniques to make the most out of each drop of fuel before ending the drive at the Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort.

Plaridel Arvin Ramos won with a 28.1 kpl reading. Club founding member Derrick Tan Uy and member Marc Ernest Manasan were tied in second place with an overall reading of 27.7 kpl. Charly Untalan and Jel Directo were tied at third, each getting a 27.5 kpl. The winners were awarded by Nissan Philippines president Juan Manuel Hoyos.

“We are grateful to Nissan Philippines Inc. for turning this eco-run into a reality. This event is a big milestone for everyone, and we couldn’t have accomplished it without their help. The route consisted of both highway and city driving to make for a more realistic daily driving scenario and the scores achieved exceeded our expectations. We were also able to educate fellow members on how to drive their Kicks efficiently while still keeping the fun factor of driving one,” says Derrick Tan Uy, the president of the Nissan Kicks e-Power Club of the Philippines.
