FUSO Modern PUVs will now serve Cubao – Divisoria route

Quezon City, Philippines — In line with SFP’s commitment to contribute to the drive for development and betterment of living in the Philippines, a total of four (4) units of Canter Commute Modern PUV Class 2 were handed over to On-Us Solutions, Inc. on 1 September 2022, at the UP Bahay ng Alumni, Quezon City. These units are expected to be deployed immediately along Cubao, Quezon City and Divisoria, Manila loops which is also the first time for FUSO to route on these areas.. The partnership between SFP and On-Us Solutions, Inc. was facilitated by Union Motor Corporation – Kalookan.

Specifically built based on the requirements set by the Philippine National Standards, the Canter Commute is powered by a clean and fuel-efficient Euro IV-compliant 3.0L engine, to deliver greater efficiency while reducing the amount of harmful emissions into the environment.

The Canter Commute is an air-conditioned Class 2 vehicle that can fit 30 people – 3 in front including the driver and 17 in side-facing seats (like traditional jeepney seats) at the back while still accommodating 10 more standing passengers.

For the safety and convenience of passengers, the FUSO modern PUVs are also equipped with accessories as required by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), such as CCTVs and recorder, Wi-Fi, GPS tracking system, LED (Route) Signage, and LCD monitor. Transport Cooperatives can also choose their automated fare collection system based on their preferences.

“We believe we are changing the landscape of public transportation for the better. BYAHE will bring convenience and safety to the riding public while contributing to a more organized and efficient transportation sector. We are also very thankful to FUSO for supporting the PUV Modernization Program.” says BYAHE Co-Founder, Mr. Brian Cu.

The government’s vision is to make the public transportation safer and more comfortable for the Filipino people, thus, the turnover of FUSO Modern PUVs Class 2 to On-Us Solutions, Inc. is a response to the administration in line with the PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP).

SFP is willing to contribute to the sustainable development of PUVMP, while also offering efficient and well-equipped vehicles to support for customers’ business needs. The FUSO Modern PUVs are designed to deliver powerful driving performance, longevity, and reliability.

Thanks to the consistent sales contribution of FUSO Canter FE71 (4W) and Canter FE73 (6W) for making this achievement possible.

FUSO inaugurates its new dedicated outlet at the City of Golden Friendship

Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, July 25, 2022 — The Japanese distributor of the popular Canter inaugurated its new 3S (Sales, Service, and Spare Parts) outlet in Cagayan de Oro City (CDO) last Monday, 25 July 2022. FUSO Cagayan de Oro will now address the customers’ requirements by providing sales and service support to further strengthen the FUSO’s presence in Mindanao. The new outlet is a great addition to the existing network of FUSO dedicated dealerships operating under Fast Autoworld Philippines Corporation (FAPC) — an authorized dealer of Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP).

Strategically positioned in Purok 8-A, San Pedro, Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City, 9000 Misamis Oriental this makes it very accessible to commercial, logistics, and automotive areas in the city center. FUSO CDO is equipped with new equipment, three (3) commercial vehicle showroom displays, service workshops, and skilled sales and aftersales team to offer support to all FUSO customers in the region. FAPC has been representing FUSO in the Visayas and Mindanao with 35 years of experience.

Besides being known as a spot for relaxing activities, Cagayan de Oro is also tagged as the City of Golden Friendship because of the utmost hospitality and smiles of the people of CDO, or what we called Kagay-anons who offer a warm welcome to tourists. It is no wonder the city has become a destination for foreign visitors.

Cagayan de Oro City is experiencing rapid economic development in Mindanao. Surrounded by commerce, trade, information technology, and automotive businesses, CDO is a growth driver of Mindanao as the city continues to grow.

“FUSO as one of the leading brands in the trucks and bus industry, will be relentless in giving customers products that radiate durability, reliability, and sustainability and offer the best value for money. The commercial vehicle market is indeed evolving, but given the persistent efforts, we are optimistic that FAPC and SFP will remain as a force to be reckoned within the years to come.” Mr. John Michael Ignacio, Manager – Vehicle Sales, SFP, explained while referring to FUSO’s commitment to provide high-quality products and services.

Speaking on the inauguration, Mr. Noriyuki Sekita, Executive Vice President – Sales and Marketing, SFP said, “FUSO has continued to expand its network since establishing its operations. Our on-going plans for dealer expansion will enable us to serve our current and new customers better, to deliver the standards of high-quality service moving forward. These are very inspiring times for FUSO, and we are very proud to be part of this journey with our dealer partners.”

FAPC AVP for Operations, Mr. Dax Albarece thanked SFP and partners who contributed to the success of inauguration of FUSO CDO, “We thank SFP for giving us the opportunity to serve as a FUSO dealership in Northern Mindanao. We thrive where the FUSO brand is needed, and we embark on this journey of service for our valued customers. Congratulations, FUSO Cagayan de Oro!”

FAPC has been one of the key dealer partners of SFP to support the brand and has an impressive business portfolio in automotive operations. FUSO has already established presence in Visayas and Mindanao provinces including Cebu, Davao, and South Cotabato.

The entire range of FUSO commercial vehicles from trucks to modern PUVs are now accessible to FUSO CDO. The dealership is open from Mondays to Fridays from 8:00AM – 5:30PM, and Saturdays from 8:00AM – 12:00PM.

FUSO stands out at the 2022 Manila Commercial Vehicle Show

Pasay City, Philippines, July 9, 2022 — For this year’s Manila Commercial Vehicle Show, 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, exhibited Class 2 and Class 3 Modern PUVs together with the Canter FE71 with Aluminum Van Body at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City last July 7 – 9, 2022.

To meet the growing demand and expand its market in Metro Manila, the FUSO light-duty trucks and modern PUVs promise world-class performance, reliability, durability, and maximum business returns, suited for logistics, supply chains, and transport cooperatives.

“As Senator, I have called on the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to expand the contracting service program, to help public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators secure their jobs as well as guarantee that fares in public transport will remain affordable,” says Hon. Risa Hontiveros, Senator, Republic of the Philippines.

As the government continues to strengthen the program of PUV modernization, many transport cooperatives still have concerns that they would like to discuss with specific authorities, making the Manila Commercial Vehicle Show an excellent platform to thresh out concerns regarding the transition of traditional jeepneys to modern vehicles.  

The 3-day show consists of different co-located events from each day. National Truckers Assembly commenced on Day 1, discussing the trucks offered by the brands, specifications, and market performance. SFP presented the F-Wing, a 32 ft. Wing Van Body mounted on the robust FJ 2528R chassis.

Day 2 focused on PUVMP-Jeep Forum and Bus Operators Assembly; SFP showcased the brand’s modern PUVs Canter Commute (Class 2) and Canter Express (Class 3) displayed in the FUSO booth.

The organizer (833 Marketing) also invited the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) Metro Pacific Tollways to promote safe driving and vehicle preventive maintenance as well as organize fun activities that instill safety among participants.

FUSO has a wide presence across the Philippines to assist transport cooperatives with their modern PUV requirements. SFP encouraged transport cooperatives nationwide to switch to safer, reliable, and more convenient modernized PUVs.
