Hyundai’s modern jeepneys drive Bacoor Transport coop modernization

Another transport cooperative in Bacoor, Cavite has placed their trust on the local distributor of Hyundai trucks and buses in the country for their modernization efforts.

Recently, Hyundai Asia Resources, Incorporated (HARI), through its Alabang dealership, turned over 15 units of the HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 to the Magnificat Transport Cooperative.

According to HARI, the latest activity is “Hyundai’s second show of support for Cavite’s and the region’s drive to improve mass mobility and to accelerate economic activity” in partnership with the local government, transport groups, and key government agencies. They mentioned that they are set to deliver the remaining first batch of HD50S Modern PUV Class 3 units to the said transport group within the year.

During the turnover ceremonies, Bacoor, Cavite Mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla said that modernizing PUVs is “truly the call of the times in the new normal”, saying that more transport groups in their community should support the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP). 

Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Region 4 Director Renwick Rutaquio, meanwhile, lauded the city’s efforts for PUV modernization, with strong support from the local government.

HARI CV Sales Head Monch Osorio relayed Hyundai Trucks and Buses President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo’s message, reinforcing their commitment to continue the partnership that the company started with the local government of Cavite and their hard-working transport group:

“Ang pagtitipon natin ngayon ay siya ring patunay ng ating kalakasan kapag tayo’y sama-sama, tulong-tulong upang mai-angat ang bawat isa.  Atin pong ipagpatuloy ang biyahe tungo sa pag-unlad (Our gathering today is proof of what can be achieved through our collective strength and commitment to uplift one another.  Let us journey forward to progress.).”

 Hyundai Trucks and Bus Alabang Chief Operating Officer (COO) Maxwell Quilat assured that they are ready to support Magnificat Transport through complete after-sales service.  Mr. Quilat likewise thanked the cooperative and the City of Bacoor for allowing them the opportunity to serve by providing environment-friendly mass transport for the town.

Last December, Hyundai delivered the initial batch of Class 2 Modern Jeepneys to Gardenia Kapit-Bisig.

Back then, a total of 120 units of Hyundai HD50S Class 2 modern jeepneys were delivered to the said transport group, considered as one of Bacoor City’s leading multi-purpose cooperatives with a broad membership engaged in the businesses of transport, water refilling, and travel tours in Metro Manila and CALABARZON.
