This means that trucks and buses from both Mercedes-Benz and Fuso model lineups can now be bought in one convenient location. The aforementioned facility is massive as it can exhibit and display several large trucks at the same time. 

The facility is also equipped to provide aftersales services for both Mercedes-Benz and Fuso commercial vehicles. This is because it features several working bays that can cater to light and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Also available from the facility are special tools that can help keep Mercedes and Fuso trucks in tip-top shape. 

Furthermore, the new Inchcape and Sojitz Fuso join facility is located along Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City. According to iCATS Motors, the facility’s position is strategically located for the benefit of commercial vehicle operators. Mindanao Avenue, after all, is a common route used by a variety of trucks and buses traversing from Metro Manila to the provinces.
