Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) and Lalamove have forged a partnership that will push the Lite Ace commercial vehicle to be the logistics firm’s transport partner.
Through the aforementioned collaboration, current and future Lalamove operators may purchase the Lite Ace panel van variant under Lalamove Automotive’s Vehicle Ownership Program.
Per TMP, the initiative was made upon its observation that the mobility needs of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) are continuously increasing.
“TMP, through one of its dealerships Toyota Taytay, Rizal (TTR), together with Toyota Financial Services Philippines (TFS), moved to answer the demand by creating an affordable pricing scheme for the Lite Ace. TTR and TFS then collaborated with Lalamove to provide this lite-on-the-pocket pricing as an option for partner operators, giving them the convenience to grow their transport and delivery services,” TMP explained.
Further, TMP said that the TTR-Lalamove Automotive Business Roadshow held last March introduced to current and potential operators the opportunity to have the Lite Ace as a mobility partner in transporting goods and services for Lalamove customers.
According to the Japanese automaker’s local arm, the aforementioned model’s panel van option lets Lalamove partner operators transport more goods as it is within the required payload capacity for Lalamove vehicles with its redesigned compact body and efficient engine.
“We are very happy and excited that Toyota Taytay, Rizal is part of this partnership with Lalamove Automotive, Toyota Financial Services and Toyota Motor Philippines. To have a hand in assisting our customers in improving their quality of life by expanding access through financing so that they can acquire reliable Toyota mobility vehicles to use in their business is a privilege on our part. We hope that in the long run, more and more customers will benefit from this partnership, leading to better livelihoods for more Filipinos and a stronger Philippine economy,” Toyota Taytay, Rizal President Zellyn Lim was quoted as saying.
Relatedly, TTR and Lalamove Automotive are rolling out a caravan series to tap more potential operators. Under the program and with every Lite Ace purchase, a partner operator will enjoy comprehensive accident and repair coverage by Toyota Insure and free periodic maintenance service from 1,000-kilometer until the 40,000- kilometer checkup.
In addition, TMP shared that plans for the program to further strengthen the collaboration include the possibility of using vehicles from T-SURE, Toyota’s Quality Pre-Owned Cars program, for Lalamove operations.
