Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) is proud to announce the top awards it received at the 17th Isuzu World Technical Competition, also dubbed as the annual “I-1 Grand Prix” (I-1 GP).
Team Isuzu Philippines showed up big time
The IPC team finished second and third in Commercial Vehicles (CV) and Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) Divisions, respectively. A total of 61 teams from 49 countries participated at the 2022 I-1 GP, which was held virtually due to the lingering threats of the COVID-19.
As the name of the competition suggests, the I-1 GP aims to showcase the excellence of Isuzu technicians around the world. The IPC team bringing home the second and third place awards reflects the company’s superb after-sales service Filipino Isuzu owners can benefit from.
Locally, the Isuzu LCV models you can buy are the D-Max and muX. The Isuzu D-Max is a pickup truck that has been bagging various accolades due to its impressive performance including the championship title at the 2022 Philippine Rallycross Series (PHRX). Meanwhile, the Isuzu mu-X is a 7-seater midsize SUV that is ideal for Filipino families.
