All-truck assembler Isuzu Philippines Corp. (IPC) reported it has delivered over 60 trucks of different models to three major fleet partners in the provinces.
In a statement, IPC said they served three fleet customers are engaged in logistics, construction, tourism and other services.
Sicogon Island’s Tourism and Infrastructure Development
In Iloilo, IPC, through its dealership Isuzu Iloilo, delivered three units of the Isuzu FTS34L to Sicogon Island Tourism Estate Corporation. These trucks, each fitted with a boom crane, water tanker, and vacuum body, are specially designed to support the development of Sicogon Island, a rising tourist destination.
The Isuzu water tanker will ensure a steady supply of fresh water by transporting it from the island’s spring site to businesses and residents. Vacuum trucks handle sewage cleaning, helping maintain proper sanitation and environmental sustainability.
Meanwhile, boom cranes are essential for ongoing construction projects, assisting in the building of new resorts and infrastructure that will further boost Sicogon Island’s tourism and economic growth.
Gerry Formes, Operations Head of Sicogon Island Estate, said that with Isuzu, they expect less downtown in their operations.
“With Isuzu, we are confident that our operations will have minimal downtime. The trucks are known for their durability, and the after-sales support Isuzu provides is strong. This is exactly what we need to keep the island’s development on track,” said Formes.
First PGMC Enterprises Inc. fleet expansion
Through its dealer Isuzu Taytay & Orix Rental Corporation, IPC also delivered 54 units of Isuzu N-Series light-duty trucks with aluminum van bodies to First PGMC Enterprises Inc., a major distributor of liquid condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar.
The delivery included a well-balanced mix of 4-wheeler and 6-wheeler Isuzu N-Series trucks, tailored to meet First PGMC Enterprises Inc.’s logistics needs. The fleet consists of 26 units of the Isuzu NLR85, 21 units of the Isuzu NMR85H, 5 units of the Isuzu NPR85K, and 2 units of the Isuzu NQR75L. This combination of models ensures that the company has the right vehicles for efficient and reliable nationwide distribution.
These new trucks will be deployed nationwide to transport goods from First PGMC’s production plants to distribution centers across the provinces. The Isuzu N-Series was selected for its efficient power, durability, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for businesses involved in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) distribution.
“The Isuzu N-Series is perfect for First PGMC Enterprises because it provides the right balance of power, fuel efficiency, and cargo space. Its reliability ensures that goods are delivered on time, making it the preferred choice for nationwide distribution,” said Yoshiki Sato, IPC Assistant Division Head for Sales.
Zamboanga City’s Waste Management System
On February 18, IPC, through Isuzu La Union, turned over 10 units of the Isuzu FVR34QS AMT with dump truck bodies to the City Government of Zamboanga. These trucks are a crucial part of the city’s initiative to improve garbage collection across all 98 barangays.
Given Zamboanga’s proximity to coastal waters and marine ecosystems, efficient waste management is essential to prevent pollution and protect the city’s abundant reef fish population. These new Isuzu dump trucks will help ensure cleaner streets, safer waterways, and a healthier environment for the community.
The Isuzu FVR34QS is designed for heavy-duty waste collection, boasting a payload capacity of up to 10,835 kg and powered by a 6HK1-TCN Blue Power Diesel engine that delivers 177 PS of maximum power and 706 N-m of maximum torque.
During the turnover, Mario Ojales, IPC Department Head for Fleet Sales, reminded city officials of the importance of proper maintenance to ensure the trucks’ longevity.
“While Isuzu trucks are built for durability, proper maintenance and careful handling are still key to preventing breakdowns,” said Ojales.
