Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), one of the country’s leading local automotive companies, marked another milestone as it received the first five units of the HD50S Modern Jeepney Class 2 from assembly partner Del Monte Motor Works, Inc. (DMMWI) recently.
These initial units were turned over to HARI Commercial Vehicle (CV) dealerships in support of government’s PUV Modernization Program.
HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo said at the roll off ceremony, “Since we began our Commercial Vehicle business in 2016, we have strongly supported PUV Modernization, as we are excited about the many new ways we could serve Filipinos. At last, we are thrilled to see our vision and our promise come to life! We forged this strong partnership with Del Monte since we share the same aim – give jeepney operators and commuters a safer, more efficient, and convenient mode of transport.”
Ready to roll!
With the roll off of the first 5 units of the Hyundai Modern Jeepney Class 2, HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo reiterated Hyundai’s and Del Monte Motor Works’ continuing support for the country’s PUV Modernization Program.
The Hyundai H-100 Modern Jeepney Class 1 and Hyundai HD50S Modern Jeepney Class 2 recently received their Certificate of Compliance (COC) from the Department of Transportation (DOTr), signaling that the models are ready for deployment across the country.
Established in 1950, DMMWI promotes Filipino engineering ingenuity through skilled craftsmanship of durable bodies for trucks and buses. Del Monte also assembled Hyundai’s initial Class 2 prototype unveiled during the opening ceremonies of the Hyundai Power Solutions Mobility Expo held at the LausGroup Event Centre in San Fernando, Pampanga.
After delivering their messages, the company presidents presided over the ceremonial champagne spraying of the new units, as homage to the tradition of motor sport champions celebrating a podium finish. HARI and Del Monte also conducted a test ride of the new units with Hyundai dealer principals and transport cooperatives to showcase the Modern Jeepneys’ safety and comfort.
