To be more specific, the company delivered the Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3. Isuzu is one of the brands that continue to support the government’s public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program along with Hyundai and Fuso.

“We choose Isuzu because of its renowned durability, fuel efficiency and the fact that it is very easy to maintain. These modern PUVs will improve the quality of service that we provide to our customers in the area,” said MIMAROPA Transport Cooperative Chairman of the Board Albert Cayetano.

The Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3 is equipped with amenities that provide a more convenient commuting experience for passengers. With a seating capacity of 23, the modern PUV comes with a navigation system, CCTV, a speed limiter, a dashboard camera, Wi-Fi, and an automated fare collection.

Powering the vehicle is a 4JH1-TC Blue Power Diesel Engine that promises to be durable and easy to maintain. IPC also said that parts are readily available nationwide, ensuring CVs like the new modern PUV units delivered to the transport group will continue serving as a mobility road partner.

“In Isuzu, we listen to our customers, so that we can provide the best business solutions. Considering the route and operational condition of the cooperative, the Isuzu NLR77 PUV Class 3 proves to be the best fit for them,” said IPC Vice President for Sales Yasuhiko Oyama.

The modern PUVs should provide a more comfortable ride for commuters

The new modern PUVs follow the turnover of 16 Isuzu Traviz units in the same area last August 2023. These Traviz units are used as rescue vehicles to modernize and strengthen the local government unit’s (LGU) rescue efforts.
