A total of 10 Kia K2500 4x4 double cab dropside units were recently turned over to Scheirman Construction Consolidated Inc. (SCCI) to be part of its fleet.
The construction firm (which was established in 2016 and helmed by Engr. William Russell Scheirman Jr.) has placed its trust on the Kia K2500, saying that it “answers a set of very specific needs."
“With safety, quality craftsmanship and service, productivity and timeliness as the benchmarks of a successful construction firm, we need a light-duty truck that can handle our unpredictable weather and road conditions–and can reach even the most remote construction sites,” SCCI Chief Strategy Officer and Director Armando Inabangan Jr. said.
“The K2500 suits our very demanding requirements, and because of its unique 4x4 configuration, it makes for a very ideal fleet vehicle for our construction company. We need a dependable truck to arrive at its destination—no matter what.”
Out of the 10 units that were delivered at the SCCI office in Cainta, eight will be sent to Cebu, while the remaining two will be for use in the Metro Manila area.
“Our fleet of K2500s will see duty immediately. We are fortunate that a vehicle with these specifications is available in the local market through Kia. No other brand carries a 4x4 double cab model,” Inabangan added.
Powering the vehicle is a 2.5-liter common rail direct-injected turbo diesel mill that delivers as much as 128 horsepower and 255 Newton-meters of torque. The aforementioned engine is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Kia Philippines President Emmanuel Aligada expressed confidence in the K2500’s capabilities.
“The K2500 is unique because it is the only light-duty truck in the Philippine market equipped with a 4x4 drivetrain,” he said.
“This means maximum traction despite drastic changes in weather and road conditions. This kind of capability gives SCCI the confidence to tackle any unforeseen challenges—even after the paved road ends. Adding to the K2500’s go-anywhere specifications is having one of the highest ground clearances at 200mm. This model is also among the top-three best-selling Kia models. We are pleased to provide this growing construction company the light-duty truck that it needs,” Aligada added.
Locally, the workhorse under the South Korean marque is packaged with a three-year or 110,000 kilometer-warranty, whichever comes first, and three-year free 24/7 roadside assistance.
Kia Philippines also assured that the vehicle has a low cost of maintenance to help businesses further minimize spending and maximize profits. And in case of untoward incidents, Kia has a large stock of readily-available parts and a nationwide network of service centers that are always ready to serve. This kind of dealership support will greatly reduce any potential downtime.
“SCCI has been a long-time client of Iconic Dealership Inc (IDI),” IDI Chief Operating Officer Bob Palanca shared.
“We are grateful for the trust and confidence that SCCI has toward our dealership network, and we are ready to assist at any time. We are proud of the exceptional customer experience that we provide, and satisfaction through every step of the buying and ownership journey is of utmost importance to us. IDI is pleased to be a partner of SCCI in providing world-class innovation in construction and providing great customer service in the Philippines.”
