Following the successful staging of the 2025 Isuzu Truck Fest, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) continues to deliver its top-selling trucks to fleet customers across the country. Through its extensive dealership network, IPC remains the preferred partner for businesses that require durable, fuel-efficient, and reliable transport solutions.

From tourism estate development to nationwide product distribution and city waste management, Isuzu trucks are proving to be the backbone of various industries, helping businesses and local governments operate efficiently.

Isuzu trucks support Sicogon Island’s tourism and infrastructure development

IPC through its dealership Isuzu Iloilo, delivered three units of the Isuzu FTS34L to Sicogon Island Tourism Estate Corporation. These trucks, each fitted with a boom crane, water tanker, and vacuum body, are specially designed to support the development of Sicogon Island, a rising tourist destination.

Since the island currently lacks established utility lines for electricity and water, these specialized trucks play a vital role in sustaining daily operations and supporting development. The Isuzu water tanker will ensure a steady supply of fresh water by transporting it from the island’s spring site to businesses and residents. Vacuum trucks handle sewage cleaning, helping maintain proper sanitation and environmental sustainability. Meanwhile, boom cranes are essential for ongoing construction projects, assisting in the building of new resorts and infrastructure that will further boost Sicogon Island’s tourism and economic growth.

According to Mr. Gerry Formes, Operations Head of Sicogon Island Estate, their company previously used trucks from different brands but encountered operational challenges due to frequent breakdowns and unreliable after-sales support.

“With Isuzu, we are confident that our operations will have minimal downtime. The trucks are known for their durability, and the after-sales support Isuzu provides is strong. This is exactly what we need to keep the island’s development on track,” said Formes.

First PGMC Enterprises Inc. expands fleet with 54 Isuzu N-Series trucks

And it’s not just the F-Series that is popular amongst fleet customer, the company though its dealer Isuzu Taytay & Orix Rental Corporation, also delivered 54 units of Isuzu N-Series light-duty trucks with aluminum van bodies to First PGMC Enterprises Inc., a major distributor of liquid condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar.

The delivery included a well-balanced mix of 4-wheeler and 6-wheeler Isuzu N-Series trucks, tailored to meet First PGMC Enterprises Inc.’s logistics needs. The fleet consists of 26 units of the Isuzu NLR85, 21 units of the Isuzu NMR85H, 5 units of the Isuzu NPR85K, and 2 units of the Isuzu NQR75L. This combination of models ensures that the company has the right vehicles for efficient and reliable nationwide distribution.

These new trucks will be deployed nationwide to transport goods from First PGMC’s production plants to distribution centers across the provinces. The Isuzu N-Series was selected for its efficient power, durability, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for businesses involved in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) distribution.

“The Isuzu N-Series is perfect for First PGMC Enterprises because it provides the right balance of power, fuel efficiency, and cargo space. Its reliability ensures that goods are delivered on time, making it the preferred choice for nationwide distribution,” said Mr. Yoshiki Sato, IPC Assistant Division Head for Sales.

Isuzu trucks strengthen Zamboanga City’s waste management system

On February 18, IPC, through Isuzu La Union, turned over 10 units of the Isuzu FVR34QS AMT with dump truck bodies to the City Government of Zamboanga. These trucks are a crucial part of the city’s initiative to improve garbage collection across all 98 barangays.

Given Zamboanga’s proximity to coastal waters and marine ecosystems, efficient waste management is essential to prevent pollution and protect the city’s abundant reef fish population. These new Isuzu dump trucks will help ensure cleaner streets, safer waterways, and a healthier environment for the community.

The Isuzu FVR34QS is designed for heavy-duty waste collection, boasting a payload capacity of up to 10,835 kg and powered by a 6HK1-TCN Blue Power Diesel engine that delivers 177 PS of maximum power and 706 N-m of maximum torque.

During the turnover, Mario Ojales, IPC Department Head for Fleet Sales, reminded city officials of the importance of proper maintenance to ensure the trucks’ longevity.

“While Isuzu trucks are built for durability, proper maintenance and careful handling are still key to preventing breakdowns. That’s why we remain committed to providing ongoing support to ensure these units serve Zamboanga for many years. Through our dealership partners, we are always ready to assist,” said Ojales.

The Isuzu advantage: Ensuring long-term business success

As part of every fleet purchase, IPC provides its comprehensive after-sales program, the ‘Isuzu Advantage’, designed to minimize downtime and maximize operational efficiency for businesses. This includes free Driver and Mechanic Training, equipping operators with the skills needed to properly maintain their trucks and prevent breakdowns. Nationwide Parts Availability ensures that spare parts are easily accessible, even in remote locations, keeping fleet operations seamless.

Additionally, IPC offers on-site and roadside assistance, with quick service responses through Isuzu’s Mobile Medic Trucks and expert Field Engineers, providing customers with reliable support whenever and wherever they need it.

For businesses operating in the provinces, these services are especially critical, ensuring that every Isuzu truck remains roadworthy and reliable for years to come.
