Fuso PH Turns Over Modern PUV Units to Common Transport Service Cooperative

MANILA: Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP) turned over five Fuso Canter Commute Class 2 units to Common Transport Service Cooperative (CTSC) in Carmona, Cavite on August 30.

These Fuso Canter modern PUVs will be deployed along Marcos Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, and Montalban, Rizal via LITEX. Alpine Motors Corporation - Fuso Carmona arranged the purchase partnership between SFP and CTSC.

“We’re celebrating our partnership with SFP, Almazora, Coolaire and our day one with Common Transport Service Cooperative. We’re very happy to have CTSC as our partners. Thank you for the trust in Alpine and Fuso – we will give our hundred percent support for sales and aftersales,” Alpine Motors Corporation President Francis Martin Gonzales stated.

The Fuso Canter Commute is powered by a Euro V-compliant 3.0-liter diesel engine, delivering better fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions compared to traditional PUVs. These modern PUVs were jointly developed by SFP and Almazora Motors Corporation and built on the Canter platform.

The Class 2 public utility vehicles can accommodate 20 passengers in side-facing seats plus 10 standing passengers. The air-conditioning system is patterned with Fuso's light bus model, Rosa. To ensure an even dispersion of airflow, air-conditioning vents are installed overhead.

The Fuso Canter Commute Class 2 complies with the requirements set by the Philippine National Standard, not only ensuring the safety of passengers but also streamlines their travel experience by making fare collection more convenient.

The Fuso Canter Commute Class 2 comes with a three-year or 100,000-kilometer cab and chassis warranty, and a separate warranty for body and accessories.

“[Kami’y> buong pusong nagpapasalamat sa inyo, sa Fuso Philippines, sa Alpine Motors, sapagkat muli po binuksan ninyo ang pintuan at binigyan niyo kami ng pagkakataong makapaghanapbuhay pa, magkaroon ng ikabubuhay namin, at maging pag-asa kami ng mgataong umaasa sa amin (We are wholeheartedly grateful to you, Fuso Philippines and Alpine Motors, because you opened the door again and gave us the opportunity to make a living, to have a livelihood, and to be the hope of the people who depend on us),” CTSC Chairman Antonio Namatay said.

“To Common Transport Service Cooperative, your commitment and efforts have brought us to this point, where we can proudly turn over our quality Fuso modern PUVs to your business. Your dedication to providing reliable and efficient transportation services to your community truly aligns with our commitment to providing high-quality products and services as well,” SFP President and Chief Executive Officer Yosuke Nishi stated.

Furthermore, SFP provided pre-delivery orientation and training to the CTSC operator and drivers in order to ensure proper vehicle operation, share driving tips, and give basic maintenance lecture. This shows SFP's commitment to support the operations of its valued customers.
