The locally-fabricated AGT costs cheaper than its imported counterparts like the LRT and the MRT. It also has slimmer dimensions and can be built along narrow streets. The AGT is lightweight and produces less noise because it runs on rubber tires. It is electricity-powered and has zero greenhouse gas emissions. Commercialized used of the AGT will lessen travel time and will promote an environment-friendly mass transit. The AGT will enhance and upgrade Filipino capabilities in terms of transport technology ultimately leading to self-reliance and global competitiveness.

This is a portable hand-powered wrought iron-forming tool that features four functions: bending; rolling; twisting; and curling of iron and steel bars. This machine creates a broad range of beautifully crafted and fabricated metal products. The availability of this low-cost equipment that is very much adoptable in rural conditions is expected to transfer know-how, thus, will help create productive livelihood programs.

The harvester has specially-developed conveyor system and cutters that make the mechanical removal of plants possible. Module 2 is an improved version of the first design in the following aspects:
This equipment arrests excessive growth of water hyacinth, thus, helps address problems on flooding and damage to life and property. The use of the Harvester also lessens negative effects of the proliferation of water hyacinth: risk to health and safety; degradation of water quality; interference with irrigation; hindrance to water transport and recreation. Collected water hyacinth serves as raw materials for livelihood projects.

The harvester has specially-developed conveyor system and cutters that make the mechanical removal of plants possible. Module 2 is an improved version of the first design in the following aspects: (1) collection rate is at least 1 ton in 90 sec, or at least 15 days to cover a hectare; and (2) operation can be done for eight continuous hours. This equipment arrests excessive growth of water hyacinth, thus, helps address problems on flooding and damage to life and property. The use of the Harvester also lessens negative effects of the proliferation of water hyacinth: risk to health and safety; degradation of water quality; interference with irrigation; hindrance to water transport and recreation.
