    [SIZE=3]FMC actually evolved and you will be seeing more brand new Jeepneys, Anfras, etc in the next few months[/SIZE]. We actually already sold our first unit of Brand New Jeepney with with Isuzu 4JB1 Euro II Engine in cooperation with Isuzu Philippines. We are also currently developing the Jeepney with Chinese engine so as to lower the cost. We are also developing the new generation Anfra.


    While doing all these, we are also selling BRAND NEW Chinese brands such as JAC Motor Light Commercial Vehicles and buses in cooperation with Mitsui Trading Philippines. We also sell Great Wall Motor cars, suvs, pick-ups and vans. [SIZE=3]The FMC Assembly Plant is currently being converted to assemble Semi Knocked Down (SKD) Great Wall Motor Vehicles. [/SIZE] You can see details at http://elmerfrancisco.com/greatwall.


    Plus, there would be an FMC Jeepney to be displayed at Rockwell Land's Power Plant Mall on August 31 for their Filipino Food Event. Don't miss it.


    Best regards and thank you for your undying support!

    [SIZE=4][SIZE=2]ANFRA Pope Mobile: [/SIZE][/SIZE]"...The Philippines automobile manufacturer Francisco Motors produced the custom Popemobile for the 1995 Papal visit. It was funded by voluntary contributions from the private sector, and (as with the Irish vehicle) had bulletproof windows, bombproof parts, and it was inspected by the Swiss Guards with success. When John Paul II died, this Popemobile was briefly borrowed by parish officials of the Quiapo Church for display. It became an instant pilgrimage site to ordinary Filipino devotees who could not afford to go to the Vatican for the Pope's burial ceremonies."

    the Philippine jeepney

    symbol of decades of research and development, advanced engineering, and bleeding edge technology

    Why not concentrate on developing a new AUV for philippine setting? Just when we need LESS jeepneys on the road, here you go again adding to the cause of traffic, pollution , and undisciplined drivers on the road.

    Yep,

    The pinoys can and will suffer more traffic and more road hassles if they continue to tolerate the continued existence of jeepneys on the road.

    The Jeepney isn't even Pinoy to start with.

    But its a symbol of how BACKWARD the Pinoys are.

    1945 until now pareho pa ang itsura. Di na umasenso.

    Get rid of it, PRONTO.

    hindi naman sila francisco motors ang nagpo produce ng undisciplined drivers ah.

    and nung dumating yung mga auvs, nabawasan ba traffic and pollution? of course not. pero mag isip naman kayo, by producing NEWER jeepneys, the govt can now phase out the old, dilapidated ones roaming our streets. and since you are introducing NEWER jeeps with NEWER engines, you drastically lower pollution.

    as for improving mass transit. hello? alin alin areas ang pwede lagyan ng railway system? halos nalagyan na lahat. san pa kayo maglalagay? pano yung areas na hindi inaabot ng mga railways? buses? cmon. ang liliit ng kalsada sa metro manila. imagine espana kung puro buses yun. kahitmini buses pa. reklamo nga ng mga commuters sa edsa e andaming buses. na hindi sumusunod sa batas at laging wala sa yellow lane. sila nga primary cause ng traffic sa edsa e. just look at cubao area. and auvs? ang pinagkaiba lang naman sa auvs and jeeps is airconditioned ang auvs. nakaka traffic din sila, undisciplined din yung drivers, tapos 10 lang kasya. e jeeps e nakaka karga sila ng 20. so as far as mass transit goes, mas efficient pa yung jeeps.

    commendable yung ginagawa ng francisco motors kasi theyre bringing the jeeps to the 21st century and producing jobs for our countrymen.

    ako, i prefer the electric jeepneys, pero so far, walang sumusuporta aside sa makati and the environmentalists. so habang hindi pa nagte take off ang ejeepneys, i would prefer newer jeeps with newer less polluting engines.

    Those would be the typical tire sizes for commercial vans here in Asia. Not great for handling, but not as bad as you might think.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
