HMPH, PNP ink extended aftersales pact for Hyundai patrol cars

Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) announced the extension of aftersales support to the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) existing fleet of patrol cars under the Korean automaker.

The Hyundai Patrol Cars fleet is made up of 81 Grand Starex and 49 Elantra units that were turned over by the Republic of Korea (ROK) — through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) — to the PNP.

HMPH shared that KOICA also committed to the country's police force a $245,000-aid (around P13.5 million) worth of preventive maintenance and related services as well as USD 145,000 (around P8 million) worth of Hyundai genuine parts, components and materials. The pledge shall be carried out through the 39 authorized dealers and service centers nationwide.

“At Hyundai Motor, we strive to provide freedom of mobility by going beyond our role as an automotive sales company. This guiding principle comes from our strong commitment to give back to society because we exist to do the right thing for humanity. So, we are very honored to be assisting and providing our modern-day heroes with quality aftersales that will help them carry out their daily duties easily and safely,” HMPH President Eric Lee said.

“PNP’s fleet of Hyundai patrol vehicles will be kept at the highest level of operational reliability and roadworthiness thanks to the expert care of our certified technicians and aftersales personnel. Not only that, they can be assured that every time, only the latest diagnostic equipment and genuine compatible parts will be used,” he added.

For his part, PNP Director for Logistics Police Major General (PMGen) Ronaldo Olay expressed gratitude over the assistance accorded to its fleet.

“To our proponents from KOICA and HMPH as well as to our counterparts from KNPA, thank you very much. The preventive maintenance service will ensure that our 130 vehicles’ life span will be prolonged. As the life of human beings is important, similarly, the vehicle life and condition are also important. This is in line with the CPNP’s peace and security framework entitled MKK=K which stands for Malasakit, Kaayusan, Kapayapan, and Kaunlaran. Today falls under Malasakit, which can be aligned and dubbed as ‘Malasakit para sa Kagamitan nang Kapulisan’ which will help save resources of the government in general,” he said.

HMPH noted that the agreement will be for two years but is subject to extension on the account of both parties.
