History of Transportation, Motor Vehicles, and Locomotives in
the Philippines and in other Countries.

Roads and Vehicles History

As man, from ancient times to the 20th century, sought to
make their transport facilities more efficient. They have always
endeavored to move people and property with the latest
expenditure of time, effort and money. The following are some of
the inventions and innovations and important events that lead to
modern land transportation. Biblical passages alleged that when
Adan and Eve ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, they were sent
out by God from paradise of Eden.
What do we mean by Transportation?

• Is the movement or conveying of persons and

goods from one location to another.
• Originated from the Latin word “Terans” meaning
across or and move and “Portare” means to
carry.

Motor Vehicle
A motor vehicle, also known as motorized vehicle or automotive vehicle, is a self-
propelled vehicle, commonly wheeled, that does not operate on rails (such as
trains or trams) and is used for the transportation of people or cargo.
The vehicle propulsion is provided by an engine or motor, usually an internal
combustion engine or an electric motor, or some combination of the two, such as
hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. For legal purpose, motor vehicles are
often identified within a number of vehicle classes including cars, buses,
motorcycles, off-road vehicles, light trucks and regular trucks. These classifications
vary according to the legal codes of each country. ISO 3833:1977 is the standard
for road vehicle types, terms and definitions. Generally, to avoid requiring
handicapped persons from having to possess an operator's license to use one, or
requiring tags and insurance, powered wheelchairs will be specifically excluded by
law from being considered motor vehicles.

Etymology of Locomotive
The word locomotive originates from the Latin loco – "from a place",
ablative of locus "place", and the Medieval Latin motivus, "causing motion",
and is a shortened form of the term locomotive engine, which was first used
in 1814 to distinguish between self-propelled and stationary steam engines.

• Gas turbine
• Electric
• Battery-electric
Locomotives in the Philippines

• The Philippine National Railways (PNR) (Filipino: Pambansang

Daambakal ng Pilipinas and Spanish: Ferrocarril Nacional de
Filipinas) is a state-owned railway company in the Philippines
which operates one commuter rail service between Metro
Manila and Laguna, and local services between Sipocot, Naga
City and Legazpi City in the Bicol Region. It is an attached
agency of the Department of Transportation.

History of PNR
• PNR began operations on November 24, 1892 as the Ferrocarril de Manila-Dagupan,
during the Spanish colonial period, and later becoming the Manila Railroad Company
(MRR) during the American colonial period. It became the Philippine National Railways on
June 20, 1964 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4156. PNR used to operate over 1,100 km
(684 mi) of route from La Union to the Bicol Region. However, neglect reduced PNR's
service. Persistent problems with informal settlers in the 1990s contributed further to
PNR's decline. In 2006, Typhoons Milenyo and Reming caused severe damage to the
network, resulting in the suspension of the Manila-Bicol services. In 2007 the Philippine
government initiated a rehabilitation project aiming to remove informal settlers from the
PNR right of way, revitalize commuter services in Metro Manila, and restore the Manila-
Bicol route as well as lost services in Northern Luzon. In July 2009, PNR unveiled a new
corporate identity and inaugurated new rolling stock. Long-distance Bicol services
resumed in June 2011, but were suspended again in October 2012, leaving only local
service between Naga and Sipocot. Local service between Naga and Legazpi resumed in
October 2015
