Isuzu PH now has new Class 2 PUV design

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has recently presented its latest take on modern public utility vehicles (PUV) for the local market.

At the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-National Capital Region (LTFRB-NCR) Office, the Japanese truck distributor in the country showcased its new PUV Class 2 design.

The new Isuzu PUV now comes with two side doors for the driver and front passenger — similarly to the jeepneys that Filipinos are accustomed to. Aside from that the new design features redesigned panoramic windows, cushioned seats, and new luggage compartments are all designed for the convenience of passengers.

IPC said that its modern PUB continues to have a GPS unit, built-in monitor, digital signboards and an automated payment system, among others — all designed to help elevate the commuting experience of Filipinos.

In attendance during the presentation were Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, LTFRB Chairman Atty. Teofilo Guadiz III, LTFRB-NCR Regional Director II Atty. Zona Russet Tamayo and Pasang Masda Jeepney Transport Service President Roberto Martin. On the other hand, the IPC team was led by its Vice President for Sales Yasuhiko Oyama, Yuchengco Group Head Johnny Fetalvero and Del Monte Motor Works Executive Vice President Don Morales.

During his speech, Martin shared to his fellow transport cooperatives the advantages of modernizing their fleet with a reliable brand like Isuzu, “Our chosen PUVs will be our workhorse for decades, so we need a PUV that is durable and can give reassurance to the safety and convenience of our drivers and passengers.”

Per IPC, Pasang Masda’s fleet consists only of Isuzu PUV units — with the transport group planning to add the newly-designed PUV in its existing fleet.

“We all love our old jeepneys due to their durability and reliability, and today, we are providing you the same core values plus more. With the new Isuzu PUV you don’t just get durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency but also an elevated comfort and convenience,” Oyama, for his part said.

In addition, IPC guarantees an extensive aftersales support via the company’s 48-outlet strong network that are all capable of servicing light to heavy-duty trucks and nationwide parts availability.
