Isuzu Philippines Corp. Offers i-Van Option for Businesses

Bidding to serve businesses looking for a versatile service-oriented vehicle, Isuzu Philippines Corp. (IPC) last week launched the i-Van variant of its best-selling NHR light duty truck.

Made in partnership with Centro Manufacturing Corp., which manufactures the vehicle’s body, the i-Van offers the businessman the capability to seat 12 to 18 full-sized adults or carry cargo of up to 1.5 tons.

Isuzu’s 2.8-liter 4JB1-TC with intercooler diesel engine, capable of delivering 91 PS of power and 20 kg-m of torque and mated to a five-speed manual transmission, powers the i-Van. The NHR, Isuzu claims, has managed to deliver fuel consumption of 12.965 kilometers per liter under normal driving conditions.

Passengers can expect individual fabric-covered seats with assist grips and pockets, a factory-installed air-conditioning system that extends up to the rear, a four-speaker AM/FM stereo system with an in-dash CD player and even fully covered floors.

The i-VAN maintains the same NHR gross vehicle weight of 3.8 tons. Its overall length of 5,025 mm and overall height of 2,092 mm keeps it class 1 on major tollways.

The body options include passenger van, cargo van, school bus and even an ambulance.

“The local landscape is indeed changing and as transport needs become more demanding, we want to be the companion that working motorists can rely on,” IPC President Ryoji Yamazaki said during the launch.

“The Isuzu NHR with i-VAN body option is our answer to the growing requirements of Filipinos when it comes to people and cargo transport,” he added.
