FUSO Philippines joins Commercial Vehicle Show in the Culinary Capital of the Philippines

Clark, Pampanga, March 31, 2022 — As we continue the drive for PUV Modernization, Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP), the general distributor of FUSO and one of the Philippines’ primary commercial vehicle distributors of brand-new trucks and buses participated once again at the Clark Commercial Vehicle Show held last March 31 to April 1, 2022, at Fontana Leisure Parks & Casino, Clark, Pampanga with the theme, “Transport Cooperatives Transformation towards the New Normal”.

Considered as the Philippines’ Culinary Capital, Pampanga offers more than just a great introduction to Filipino food. Just a couple of hours away from Manila, Pampanga is also classified as a first-class and highly urbanized city surrounded with industries from automotive and agricultural businesses to forestry. SFP believes that the introduction of the FUSO modern PUVs to the city will help transport cooperatives in showcasing the efficient, safe, and accessible modern transportation system.

“This is a very timely event, given all the issues that our public transport system is facing at the moment – from the shift to the PUV Modernization Program, the continuation of the challenges of this pandemic, and skyrocketing price of fuel all over, I am very hopeful that this congress will help us all figure out what our next steps should be moving forward in order to best support the public transport sector through these issues. To that end, we have filed the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program Act and the Transportation Cooperatives Development Loan Fund Act to enable our transport cooperatives to effectively modernize.” says Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.

This program of the national government is a comprehensive system reform that can entirely change the Public Land Transportation system. As the country works toward economic recovery, the Clark Commercial Vehicle Show is a good venue to discuss the issues and concerns of transport cooperatives that support the shift to PUV modernization.

Part of the event program is a presentation of the brand’s modern PUV. SFP showcased the powerful performance, reliability, and durability of both FUSO Canter Commute (Class II) and FUSO Canter Express (Class III).

Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation Assistant Manager for Product Planning, Ms. Nolyn Mae de Guzman presented the FUSO Class II and Class III Modern PUVs from specifications, interior and exterior body, accessories and vehicle certification.

Moving forward, SFP is committed to tie-up with more transport cooperatives in support of the Philippines’ PUVMP. SFP believes that FUSO products can meet the goal of a more sustainable public transportation system for the country.
