Isuzu Philippines Corp. said Thursday it turned over the third batch of brand-new public utility vehicles to MetroExpress Connect Inc. consisting of 25 units that will serve passengers in the southern parts of Metro Manila and Cavite.
The fleet will ply routes of Las Piñas to Daang Hari; Kawit, Cavite to PITX; Tanza, Cavite to PITX; and General Trias to Daang Hari.
Isuzu president Hajime Koso said the company’s support of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program would bring safer, more efficient, more convenient and more environmentally sustainable transport system to Filipinos.
“I have always believed that the Isuzu PUVs are truly a vehicle made by the Filipinos for the Filipinos, and we are confident that these units will be able to provide a more durable, comfortable and safe transport solution for the riding public,” he said.
MetroExpress started as a shuttle services group, with a fleet of no more than 20 shuttles servicing private subdivisions, providing quality transportation to communities, connecting them to commercial developments and city centers.
The transport firm later acquired bigger and bolder projects, widening their operation and choosing Isuzu PUVs as their transportation hub.
MCI will be able to guarantee its commuters a safe, seamless travel with support from Isuzu.
The country’s leading manufacturer and distributor of brand-new trucks encouraged other transport companies across the country to make the switch to safer, cleaner, more convenient and more reliable modernized PUVs.
Isuzu’s modernized PUVs assembled using the Isuzu QKR77 platform and the PUV body designed and manufactured by Almazora Motors Corp. are equipped with the Euro IV-compliant 4JH1-TC diesel engine that delivers better fuel economy and cleaner emissions than jeepneys.
The modern manufacturing technology guarantees clients like MetroExpress to provide quality and reliable transportation, connecting passengers and communities to their destinations the easy way.
