And yes, front drum brakes in 2012 is just a bit silly. Even the Ford Type II's can stop better (with ABS assistance to boot).

mondragon,
Those are the officially released (by Centro?) ratings. Haven't delved into them yet. hehe.

To add to that, an ambulance must be very nimble especially in stop and go traffic, matching running speeds while merging into other roadways and sprinting when intersecting traffic is stopped to give way to them.

di ko alam baket walang "elf" ang nhr

concentrate sa NHR? kasi yan ang pinaka affordable na light truck nila

saan pa makakabenta ang Isuzu ng 4-brake drum na truck kundi sa mga bansa tulad ng Pinas

Drum Type, Hydraulic Dual Circuit with Vacuum Assist, Front Two leading, Rear Dual Leading- yan nga pala kahit sa flexi truck... cgro iniiwasan nila ung sudden stop... i-van lng kc ung truck based.. kya cgro ganun.... kc sa mga auv,d-max,alterra-drum front, discs rear.. hehe

nhr flexi truck/ivan is one of the base/light duty trucks of isuzu.. 10 ang usage ng truck na un..(pacheck nlng sa isuzu site).. truck chasis tlg un at suspension..kau na nga ngssabi na mabagal,sobra ingay handles like a truck wer in fact is a real truck.. di nmn po ilalagay sa alanganin ng isuzu ang flexi truck o i-van kung mismatch ang makina db.. cguro kung 4ja1 ung makina ng nhr mismatch nga.. pero ung makina ng nhr,pang truck tlg un.. the payload corresponds din nmn cguro sa kakayahan din ng makina.. although ung mga suspension at chasis ng mga crosswind,d-max,alterra are all truck based..still ung makina swak pa din.. mas lower ung makina kumpara sa pang nhr..

iniiwasan nila ang sudden stop kaya drum brake ginamit nila sa nhr?

gumamit sila ng drum brake kasi mas mura sa disc

kaya nila tinutulak sa Pinas ang truck na yan kasi yan ang pinaka low cost truck nila

yan ang afford ng pinoy

alam namin lahat truck ang nhr

di nmn po ilalagay sa alanganin ng isuzu ang flexi truck o i-van kung mismatch ang makina db

^^ang goal ng Isuzu Pinas is to sell those trucks. kahit anong katawan ilalagay nila sa NHR basta maibenta ang mga truck na yan. kung pwede lagyan ng rocket launcher lalagyan nila. yung pag patong ng kung ano-ano katawan sa NHR is to show the public madami application ang truck na yan... para mas madami bumili. bigyan mo ng variety of ideas ang public para mas malaki chance makabenta

wala naman paki ang isuzu kung underpowered ang truck para sa katawan or kung mahina ang preno basta importante ma-i-dispose nila ang mga low-cost truck nila sa mga developing countries tulad ng Pinas

Isuzu sells us crap. you're defending Isuzu coz ahente ka. ahenteng ahente dating mo

btw, bawal dito txt posting

The Isuzu Elf (いすゞ・エルフ Isuzu Erufu?) is a light duty truck produced by Isuzu. Outside Japan it is known as N-series.

Uh. AUVs and the D-Max use discs in front, drums in the rear. Because the drums lose power more easily when they get wet or dirty or etcetera. If you had drums in front and discs in the rear on a non-ABS equipped AUV, you'd run the risk of causing spins in the rain or when the front drums started to lose bite.

"Iniiwasan ung sudden stop"... euphemism for "Don't care if the truck stops in time to avoid an accident."

re: Isuzu Elf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i know "Elf" is known as N series outside japan

i posted this on page 2:

hindi elf?

NHR, NKR, NPR elf lahat yan (known as elf in japan. N-series outside japan)

NHR is lighter than NKR, NPR

extra heavy duty? pinaka light duty na N-series yan. kaya maliit ang makina

pls check your facts

we used to import japan surplus trucks

the ahente guy says the NHR is not "elf" coz wala kasi nakalagay na "elf"

tapos tinanong pa sa akin baket daw wala nakalagay na "elf" sa nhr

or sinasabi ng ahente na NHR is not "elf" para tumaas value kasi hindi surplus/converted unit.

in countries like HK and Taiwan, puro Fuso/Mitsubishi mga trucks nila. sobrang konti lang mga Isuzu.
