A total of 22 passengers can fit in the HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 thanks to its wheelbase that spans 3,415 mm in length. Powering the Modern jeepney is a 2.9-liter Euro-4 compliant CRDi engine that provides transport groups better fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) granted the HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 a Certificate of Compliance (COC) last year following the COC received for the H-100 Modern PUV Class and HD50S Modern PUV Class 2 in 2019. The HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 is set to help the government and the nation for a greener and more sustainable future.
