Maxus joins in the ‘new normal’ operations of car dealerships

One of the most affected areas in the growing negative effects of the COVID-19 in the country is the transportation of goods. The implementation of strict guidelines for social distancing limited many personal or business goods movement.

With this initiative, Filipinos are hopeful that this can prevent the further spreading of the virus.

To provide this need amid the health crisis, Maxus Philippines re-introduce the V80 Flex van that offers a roomy cargo space of 6.9 cubic meters and flexible interiors.

The Maxus V80 Flex van’s versatile interiors allow promoting proper physical distancing among the driver and cargo handlers, while at the same time the van’s 1.1-ton maximum loading capacity allows for sufficient cargo to maximize business operations.
