United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI) Auto Group will bring more than 75 vehicles to Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga from 19 to 22 November as it holds the largest edition of its On the Move roadshow.
The year-end expo will occupy more than 8,800 square meters along Prince Balagtas Avenue, across from Foton Motor Philippines. Six brands will participate, with more than 15 vehicles available for test drives on a route within the freeport.
The larger site will allow UAAGI to display commercial trucks alongside passenger vehicles and give prospective buyers room to try selected models on the road.
Foton will account for most of the display, with 53 commercial vehicles. Its range includes tractor heads, construction trucks, passenger vans, ambulances and vehicles for refrigerated deliveries.
VISITORS can test drive the BAIC B60e Beaumont rEV alongside other SUVs from the automaker at UAAGI’s four-day Clark event.
Electric models will include the EST 6x4 tractor head, Traveller Sierra EV, TransVan cargo vans and a cold-chain van. The conventional-engine range will include Class II jeepneys, a mobile pharmacy, crane trucks and various cargo-body options.
Foton will also show conventional trucks and utility vehicles, including several body configurations for delivery and construction work.
Among the passenger vehicles, BAIC will bring the B30 4x4, B40 Ragnar and two versions of the B60 Beaumont. Selected BAIC SUVs, including the B40e Trailmaster range-extended electric model, will be offered for test drives.
Chery will display the Tiggo REV CDM, QEV, Tiggo Grand Tour and Tiggo Touring MT. Its models cover gasoline, plug-in hybrid and fully electric choices. The Tiggo REV and QEV are also on the test-drive list.
Jetour will feature the recently introduced S08 i-DM seven-seat SUV, together with electrified versions of the T1, T2 and X70. Visitors can test drive the S08 i-DM and selected models from the other three lines.
Jetour Gaia will bring the G700 Topfire Ultra Off-Road Edition, an SUV designed for off-road use with a more upscale cabin. The G700 will also be available for test drives.
Riddara’s area will concentrate on electric and plug-in hybrid pickups. Models include the RD6 Econ and RD6 EM-P in several configurations, including units adapted for different commercial uses. Selected two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions will be available to drive.
Under UAAGI’s Shift and Save program, customers who trade in a vehicle can qualify for an additional P15,000 discount above its appraised value. Participating banks will have representatives at the venue to assess financing applications.
UAAGI chairman Rommel Sytin said the Clark location would allow visitors to inspect and compare the group’s vehicles without the space limits of mall exhibits. He also cited demand from customers north of Metro Manila, particularly those interested in new-energy vehicles.
