Toyota Motor Philippines, the automotive industry giant, recently donated two of their Toyota Coasters to Gilas Pilipinas national basketball team for use during the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 co-hosted by the Philippines from 25 August to 10 September.

Each Coaster can seat 29 individuals comfortably and will assist their mobility during this year's competition.

Toyota's commitment to sports programs is well-established, and this donation of vehicles reaffirms it. These Coasters will serve as reliable transport for the basketball team as well as coaching staff during this World Cup event.

TMP's Coasters stand as testament to its dedication to creating functional, safe, and comfortable vehicles. They measure nearly seven meters in length by two meters wide by 2.6 meters high, providing ample room for the team and its equipment.
