MANILA: Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SPF) and Mercedes-Benz Trucks have opened its new, joint facility in Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City 

According to SPF, the newly inaugurated building signifies the strategic expansion of the two brands under the Daimler Trucks umbrella in the Philippine commercial vehicle arena. 

“Today, we are here to open this joint facility, bringing together Daimler Trucks – Mercedes-Benz Trucks, and Fuso products in a joint dealership. This partnership between Inchcape Philippines and Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation signifies a strengthened commitment to powering better mobility in the country, bringing market high quality and durable products to allow access and growth for the people, communities, and businesses,” Inchcape South Asia and Pacific Managing Director Alex Hammet stated. 

The new facility sits at 45 Mindanao Avenue, Alley 15, Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City and offers its customers a state-of-the-art building that represents modern design, which combines the robustness of the Fuso brand as well as the elegance of Mercedes-Benz products. 

Looking to redefine customer experience, the new location has a showroom that can fit up to six heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Meanwhile, the rest of its built-up area of 1,035 square meters is allocated to working bays to deliver reliable and quality service to meet the needs and requirements of every customer.

“SFP and iCATS Motors have positively responded to an advantageous synergy that resulted in a unique dealership outlet that offers two reliable international commercial vehicle brands – FUSO and Mercedes-Benz – in one facility.

The customer’s experience is important to us as we provide trucks they can trust and quality service as we drive to the future, together,” SPF President and Chief Executive Officer Yosuke Nishi remarked.
