Hyundai PH's CV game is going strong

In its April 2021 year-to-date (YTD) sales report, HARI sold 711 CV units, a 672.8 percent increase as compared to the same period last year. The sales number translates to 19.1 percent in the overall sales in the local CV segment which is enough for HARI to clinch the third spot in the ranking.

Part of the car brand’s growth in the local CV industry is its dependable and reliable construction trucks that consist of the HD36L Maxculado, HD65, HD65X, and Xcient trucks. These Hyundai CVs have made their mark in three of the truck categories including Category III, Category IV-A, and Category V.

As for the Bus segment sales, HARI recorded a whopping 76.5 percent market share by selling 52 units headed by the County. Take note that the car brand managed to accomplish the said feat despite the travel restrictions amid the global health crisis which limited the use of buses and people-haulers.

Moreover, HARI has rolled out various efforts to advance the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Program in areas such as Pangasinan and Cavite. With this, the HD50 Class 2 Modern Jeepney and HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 helped improve the CV presence of the car brand in the country.
