A Japanese truck maker recently delivered 28 modern public utility vehicle (PUV) units to a transport cooperative in Oriental Mindoro.
Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC), together with Isuzu Calapan, conducted the turnover ceremony for the first modern Isuzu PUV in the province, with Victoria Operators Drivers and Commuters Transport Cooperative (VODACTCO) as its recipients.
The ceremony, held at the showroom of Isuzu Calapan, was attended by Isuzu Philippines team led by its president, Noboru Murakami, and department head for commercial vehicle sales, Mario Ojales, as well as VODACTCO officers and members headed by their general manager, Gaudencio Callo and vice chairperson, James Valdez.
The twenty-eight units of Isuzu NLR PUV will be used as the main mode of transportation of Mindoreños from Calapan City to Victoria, Oriental Mindoro.
"We are happy and proud to be part of your progress and development in terms of transportation. Being the number one truck brand in the Philippines for 22 consecutive years, Isuzu's goal has always been about providing transport solutions to people", Murakami said, implying that turnover of the first modern Isuzu PUV to VODACTCO is yet another testament that Isuzu continuously contributes to the uplifting of quality of life of people by providing mobility solutions.
In turn, VODACTCO general manager Gaudencio Callo said, "To comply to the PUV modernization program of LTFRB, we made sure that the replacement of our old traditional jeepneys are durable and fuel-efficient vehicles because this is a big investment for our cooperative members."
Isuzu's outstanding fuel-efficiency, partnered with comprehensive aftersales support, made VODACTCO choose Isuzu NLR PUV as the perfect partner for their livelihood.
In addition to this, Callo is also very thankful and satisfied with the excellent customer service that Isuzu Calapan had shown the cooperative all throughout the process. Isuzu Calapan is a relatively new dealership established in 2019. Despite being new, the dealership already won third place in 2021 Dealer of the Year award organized by IPC and placed grand champion in the 2022 Isuzu Service Skills Olympics.
