Delivery riders can #ScanToPay for safer and more rewarding transactions with PayMaya

With stricter quarantine measures imposed in parts of the country once again, many will be relying on delivery services for their everyday essential needs. To help ensure the safety of delivery riders, PayMaya is encouraging them to use contactless payments via PayMaya QR in partner merchants, which will also give them additional benefits and rewards as well.

By using PayMaya QR for their purchases, delivery riders are able to enjoy a safer payment experience which reduces the risk of transmitting the virus through cash handling – thereby adding a layer of protection for themselves and their customers.

Apart from the safety that PayMaya offers delivery riders, they are also rewarded each time they #ScanToPay for their customers’ orders or when they fill up their tanks at partner establishments because they can get up to 100% cashback (maximum of P500), which can easily add to their savings and income.

“Since the start of the quarantine, riders have become our ‘delivery heroes’ – braving the frontlines and bringing daily essentials straight to our doorstep so we can stay safe at home. We’re honored to offer our contactless payment solutions to these essential service personnel so they can remain safe and even get rewarded as they fulfill their customers’ transactions around the metro,” said Raymund Villanueva, Head of PayMaya QR Ecosystems.

To make their payment experience even more rewarding, delivery riders also have a chance to score a brand new Honda ADV 150 motorcycle whenever they #ScanToPay via PayMaya QR. All they have to do is spend a minimum of P200 when they pay at any of PayMaya’s partner merchants until September 15, 2020 to earn raffle entries. The more they use PayMaya QR, the more chances they have of winning!

Scan to Pay for maximum safety and rewards

Paying via PayMaya QR has been made quick and simple for delivery riders. All they have to do is scan the PayMaya QR code displayed at the counter or at the One by PayMaya device in partner merchants, key in the amount they need to pay and hit confirm. With this payment method, there is no need to exchange cash or card at the counter, which also helps protect the service crew of partner merchants and establishments.

PayMaya QR is available at the biggest restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and gasoline stations all over the country – including Jollibee, McDonald’s, KFC, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Landers, Robinsons Supermarket, Rustan’s Supermaket, Shopwise, Super8, Mercury Drug, Watsons, Petron, and so much more.

For riders who don’t have a PayMaya account yet, they can easily download and register for free and even receive perks for it. When they register using the promo code RIDER, they get a PhP 50 reward, which they can receive after they upgrade and add money to their PayMaya account.

Getting PayMaya for cashless transactions is real easy. Simply download the PayMaya app for Android or iOS, register for an account, and start shopping safely and conveniently for anything online and in stores.

Honda shares insights on its innovative Two-Motor Hybrid System

12/29/2023

Honda has proactively embraced electrification technologies to address the critical challenge of reducing CO2 emissions in its mobility product lineup. Among these technologies, hybrid-electric systems have gained prominence, leading Honda to expand its range of hybrid-electric models.

A hybrid-electric vehicle integrates electric motors with an engine, optimizing fuel economy by efficiently utilizing both power sources. Honda shares that its e:HEV hybrid-electric system combines existing engine and electrification technologies with new advancements, achieving notably high fuel efficiency and an enhanced driving experience.

In the e:HEV system, the electric motor propels the vehicle across the entire speed range, while the internal combustion engine (ICE) engages solely during high-speed cruising. This distinctive approach balances high environmental performance with the unique driving enjoyment characteristic of the e:HEV, an experience not attainable with an ICE-only system.

To maximize the benefits of both motors and engines, the e:HEV system intelligently adapts to different driving conditions. In low- to mid-speed ranges, where electric motors excel, the system operates similarly to a series hybrid. Conversely, during high-speed cruising, where engines perform optimally, the e:HEV functions as a parallel hybrid. This dual-mode strategy sets the e:HEV apart as an intelligent hybrid system exclusive to Honda.

Distinguishing itself from series-parallel hybrid systems, the e:HEV prioritizes efficient motor drive for daily driving situations. It features two distinct modes – EV drive mode and Hybrid drive mode – each offering high-quality motor driving and efficiency without the complexity of intricate power distribution mechanisms.

The two-motor hybrid-electric system, a key component of the e:HEV, comprises a traction motor and a generator motor. These motors efficiently convert engine output into electricity, supply power to the tires, and regenerate electricity during deceleration. The simplicity of this system, without complex mechanisms for mixing battery/engine power or transmission, ensures highly efficient and smooth driving, minimizing frictional losses.

Maintaining high efficiency across varied driving scenarios, the e:HEV intelligently switches between three modes:

1. EV drive mode: During startup acceleration and city driving, the vehicle relies solely on the motor, powered by battery electricity. The engine remains off, providing a smooth, gasoline-free driving experience.

2. Hybrid drive mode: The vehicle operates on the motor using electricity generated by the engine, achieving powerful acceleration with a balanced and linear feel.

3. Engine drive mode: During high-speed cruising, where less driving force is required, the engine drive mode proves more efficient than running the motor at high speed. Directly connecting the engine output to the driveshaft minimizes power loss.

Additionally, the e:HEV employs regenerative braking in EV drive mode, converting kinetic energy into electricity during deceleration or downhill driving, further enhancing its efficiency.

It’s interesting how far car manufacturers have come in terms of minimizing carbon footprint of our vehicles. While the road to 100% electric vehicles is still a far reach, we can at least already see the horizon and the kind of future it holds for a greener mobility solution.
