Foton Motor Philippines continues to deliver on its commitment to support the welfare of the Filipino people. Its latest effort is to provide support to the projects of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Region 9 by turning over fleets of Foton commercial vehicles (CVs).
Staying true to its commitment
Within the turnover ceremony, Foton Zamboanga was able to release 20 units to DAR Region 9, comprised of the Gratour MT Dropside, Tornado 4.4C Dropside, Tornado M2E E4 Dropside, Tornado M4.2C Dropside, Thunder 4x2 EX, Hurricane EST-M Dropside, and Tornado C 4.8 Dropside.
“If it’s for the welfare of our fellow Filipinos, especially for the backbone of our economy – local farmers – we’ll be steadily supporting,” said Foton Motor Philippines President Rommel Sytin.
The Gratour MT Dropside is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) that should help DAR Region 9 in hauling cargo on narrow roads more seamlessly. It offers a payload capacity of 1.4 tons with its 1.5-liter gasoline engine that is capable of generating 110 hp and 142 Nm of torque.
Meanwhile, heavier cargo can be delivered by the Tornado and Hurricane units which are the car brand’s light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks, respectively. Both trucks are powered by a Cummins engine that produces rugged performance and reliable capabilities.
The trucks can be used to hasten DAR Region 9 projects
All the turned-over Foton units are expected to haul and deliver farm supplies and products to hasten DAR Region 9 projects. In turn, it will improve the livelihood of local farmers in the area, fulfilling the brand’s commitment to the wellness of the Filipino people.
