Isuzu PH brings more modern PUVs in Mindoro

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has turned over 15 modern public utility vehicles (PUV) to a transport group in Oriental Mindoro.

The Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3 vehicle fleet was delivered to MIMAROPA Transport Cooperative that covers the Calapan City-Pinamalayan route.

In a statement, IPC said that the cooperative — first-time clients of Isuzu — upgraded their armada with the newly-delivered examples to be able to cater to the growing number of commuters in the area and to align with Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board's guidelines for long distance routes.

“We choose Isuzu because of its renowned durability, fuel efficiency and the fact that it is very easy to maintain. These modern PUVs will improve the quality of service that we provide to our customers in the area,” MIMAROPA Transport Cooperative Chairman of the Board Albert Cayetano said.

Powering the Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3 is a 4JH1-TC Blue Power diesel engine while ferrying passengers.

The vehicle’s body (which is built by Centro) can ferry 23 passengers. It is also compliant with Philippine National Standard parameters as every unit comes with a global positioning system, a closed-circuit television camera, speed limiter, dashboard camera, wireless-fidelity network, and an automated fare collection system.

“In Isuzu, we listen to our customers, so that we can provide the best business solutions. Considering the route and operational condition of the cooperative, the Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3 proves to be the best fit for them. Aside from our durable products, it is our excellent aftersales support that we strengthen the most, especially for fleet customers,” IPC Vice President for Sales Yasuhiko Oyama said.

“We always make sure that our parts are readily available nationwide, and that we have dealerships in strategic locations, then for those really far flung, we service them via our Mobile Medic trucks. We know how important it is that their vehicle would have less downtime, so we support them as soon as possible,” he added.
