Hyundai’s Augustong-Gusto brings out your gusto for moving business

To celebrate its 20th year this month, Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the official distributor of Hyundai passenger cars and commercial vehicles in the Philippines, revs up your enterprise with its Augustong-Gusto deals on some of its dependable people and business movers.  

Hyundai Trucks and Buses Philippines is ready to support the Filipino entrepreneur and sustain the “gusto” for economic recovery by making key products, like the XCIENT, COUNTY, and UNIVERSE, more accessible to hard-working entrepreneurs.  “On our anniversary month, we are energized, more than ever, to help entrepreneurs invest well in reliable and efficient business mobility solutions,” said HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo.  

If you’re in the transport or heavy industries, consider building your fleet operations to meet customer demands once the business climate becomes more optimal. This month, the COUNTY and the UNIVERSE can save you up to PhP500,000 and P1,000,000 (M), respectively; while you can get up to P1-M of savings on the XCIENT tractor head.   

Hyundai COUNTY: The minibus you can count on

Specially designed for mass transport, the COUNTY minibus boasts a host of features that assures dependability, safety, and comfort.  

The rounded edges and smooth exterior make for a clean and sleek image, while the flush panoramic windows offer passengers a great view.

Reflecting Hyundai’s human-centric design philosophy, the COUNTY’s interior combines outstanding ergonomics and aesthetics to give driver and passengers maximum comfort. The roomy cabin space, deluxe cargo storage for extra luggage, and plush passenger seats provide best-in-class comfort and convenience. In its standard configuration, it seats 29 including the driver.

As a product of Hyundai’s advanced testing and manufacturing facilities, the COUNTY meets the highest standards of performance, durability and safety.

Its CRDi (Common Rail Direct Injection) engine produces 140ps and is capable of responsive acceleration with high torque even at low RPM.

As for inimitable stability, Hyundai made sure to subject each unit to the most punishing durability tests on various road conditions. The sturdy body on the box-type chassis frame offers greater resistance against bending and torsional forces. It also has greater rust-resistance, thanks to Hyundai’s electrostatic immersion process.  

For safer stops, the Load Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV) selectively distributes hydraulic brake pressure between the front and rear wheels according to the weight distribution of the passenger load. Large-sized 9+10 tandem brake booster provides ample hydraulic brake pressure to significantly reduce brake pedal force for advanced safety of the passengers. 

A UNIVERSE of advantages 

Designed with plenty of space, convenience features, and reliability, the UNIVERSE exhibits uncompromising road-worthiness. Its massive structure is thoroughly protected, thanks to electro-deposition technology, which provides maximum corrosion protection, even in hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle body.  Its monocoque design enhances structural rigidity while being lightweight, significantly reducing vibration and providing overall protection.  

The chassis system is also monocoque, which enhances ride quality and handling.  Add to this the front and rear air suspension, plus hydraulic shock absorbers with double-acting telescopic type on axles, and you’ve got a ride stability profile that’s up to par during long drives. 

The UNIVERSE boasts flexible seating capacity, offering either 49+1 or 45+1-seater configurations to cater to diverse mobility needs.

When it comes to performance, it comes on strong with its powerful and economical D6CC Euro 4 engine.  Fitted with turbocharger, this 6 in-line electronic diesel engine does not disappoint, as it churns out maximum power of 380 ps @ 1,900 rpm, and maximum torque of 148 kg-m @ 1,200 rpm.  It’s paired with a 5-speed transmission system, which boosts its fuel efficient profile, translating to cost-saving and value-adding operations for your transport-servicing business.

As with all Hyundai vehicles, great care has been given to ensure that the UNIVERSE’s passive and active safety features. The UNIVERSE is equipped with Anti-lock Braking System with Anti-slip Regulator that helps the driver maintain full directional stability at all times, most specially while passing through slippery roads.  A speed limiter maintains the vehicle’s speed threshold at 100 km/hr to avoid excessive acceleration. Other thoughtful safety features include Multi Focus Reflection (MFR) headlamps and fog lamps for increased visibility on the road; a wide, aerodynamic outside rear view mirror for a clear view of movement from other vehicles; and 3-point ELR seatbelts for the driver for better protection.  

For passengers, stable and sturdy seats are designed with steel tube framing, reclining function, and vinyl leather covering for restful sitting. Other thoughtful features include board type shelves, fluorescent room lamp, and a spacious luggage compartment.

Aim big with the reliable XCIENT

Boasting of a robust design, highlighted by a striking and voluminous front grille, and bold, dynamic lines, the Hyundai XCIENT is a commanding presence on the road.  Its strength of character is reinforced even more by the extensive application of Hyundai’s signature high-strength steel, contributing to structural integrity and durability whatever the road or load.

The XCIENT is built to take on tough jobs with its front and rear multi-leaf suspension system and its core Powertech engine (in the D6HA and D6CC for XCIENT cargo trucks and XCIENT 4×2 and 6×2 tractor heads).  Engineered with Hyundai’s class-leading technology, these direct-injection turbo-diesel engines produce higher power output for superior road performance and are Euro-4 compatible, which makes for smarter operational efficiency with improved fuel consumption and emissions. The D6HA delivers a maximum power output of 380 ps @ 2,000 rpm and maximum torque of 160 kg-m @ 1,200 rpm, while the D6CC churns out maximum power of 410 ps @ 1,900 rpm, and maximum torque: 188 kg-m @ 1,200 rpm—all ready to support the daily rigors of cargo or hauling.

Vehicle maintenance for the XCIENT is also a cinch, thanks to its cab’s 61-degree tilt angle and enlarged tilting cylinder that secures the volume of tilting pump reservoir. Protection applied to upper components helps prevent oil leakage, which saves you on undue costs from engine damage and hampered operations.

“We at HARI are committed to sustain the gusto and hopes of the Filipino’s drive toward a better normal for business. That is why we are offering no less than the best and toughest products to help them prepare for the resurgence in economic activity once current restrictions ease up,” affirms Ms. Agudo. 

Of late, Hyundai Trucks and Buses Philippines launched its MedTRX refrigerated vans series to help fast track the rollout of the national vaccination program, which marks this the leading Korean CV maker’s continued drive towards recovery for local businesses and the economy.
