Team Isuzu PH bags awards in Isuzu World Technical Competition

MANILA: The 17th Isuzu World Technical Competition, also known as the yearly "I-1 Grand Prix," recently concluded — and Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) took second place in the Commercial Vehicles (CV) Division and third place in the Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) Division, demonstrating the high quality of its after sales and service program once again.

Isuzu Philippines has remained in the top five of both divisions for ten years because of the combined efforts and arduous labor of the IPC Aftersales team and Isuzu Dealers, winning two Champion titles back in 2015 and 2018.

The 2022 I-1 GP was practically completed despite the lingering danger of COVID-19 by Isuzu Motors Ltd. (IML) with the aim of continuously expanding the technical capabilities and knowledge and skills of individual mechanics, dealers, and the entire Isuzu group.

In total, 49 nations — including Asian nations like Japan, China, and Thailand — and 61 teams — participated in the 2022 I-1 GP E-Competition. Other nations from various continents also competed. Competition was fierce even though it was conducted virtually because IML personnel strictly observed them when they took their tests in each headquarters.

Apart from securing the 2nd and 3rd place in CV and LCV Divisions Team Category, respectively, Team Isuzu Philippines also triumphed in the individual category in this year’s e-competition.

With Gian Franco Cosico from IPC Training Department as CV Division Head Coach, Arjay Ang-Angan of Isuzu Pasig and Vicente Collantes of Isuzu Alabang won 2nd and 4th place, respectively, in the CV Division Individual Category. For LCV Division, Reynaldo Gepulle of Isuzu Alabang won 3rd place, while Edcel Saluday of Isuzu Pagbilao won 4th place with Carl Edson Lat from IPC Training Department as LCV Division Head Coach.

“We’re very proud of the recognition given to Team Isuzu Philippines in this year’s I-1 Grand Prix Awards. All these accolades are the fruit of hard work and cooperation of the IPC Aftersales team and the entire dealer network. We appreciate the initiative and dedication of the team and dealers to enhance our after sales performance. Given these awards, we assure all customers that they will continue receive the best customer service from all our dealers nationwide.”, IPC President Noboru Murakami said after thanking and congratulating the team and dealers.

During the virtual awarding ceremony, IPC also received Triple Star Awards, the highest rating granted to Isuzu distributors who have met the after sales service standards set by IML. IPC’s four consecutive years of attaining Triple Star Awards is yet another testament of the strong commitment of IPC and its entire dealer network to constantly improve its aftersales operations in order to provide the best customer experience.

Along with these awards, Team Isuzu Philippines also received recognition in I-CLIPS, the new feature of the e-competition that started last year wherein users can show support by liking videos and images posted by the participating distributor country based on the theme of the competition.
