    One solution is to incorporate traditional jeepney design cues in the new vehicle.

    Time to resurrect the Tsikot Vehicle Design forum?

    What makes the difference between a HK and a local PUV driver is discipline...and a very hefty fine. Coasters/minibuses proliferate in HK, but they only let people out in bus stops, stay on their lane, and set time gaps between each bus... Unlike here where anything goes.

    Reminds me more of IKEA.

    I see exposed wires coming from the dash, hanging over the stick shift boot, and going into the handbrake. Sana sa prototype lang yan at hindi sa production model (if ever).

    Sad to see a company with over several decades under its belt unable to innovate to bring their designs at par with the current motor trends.

    In other words, without any decisive cultural change, never.

    i was wrong

    so it's not an Isuzu Elf platform

    This specific unit has a Nissan TD42 engine (4200cc, diesel) and transmission, with an original front and rear differential, unique to the legendary Nissan Patrol / Safari. It also has 4-wheel drive from the said vehicle.
    they used the engine, tranny, differentials of a Nissan Patrol:



    and they're gonna put 22 passengers in that "jeepney"?

    The capacity varies, since we offer 2 types of interior layouts. Following the traditional Sarao Motors Inc. Jeep, which is the bench type seating, we can occupy 22 passengers, PLUS STANDING. For the forward-facing seats, we can occupy more or less 14 passengers, PLUS STANDING.
    hindi ba underpowered yan?

    makaka ahon ba yan sa steep roads?

    Sarao has been left in the dust by MD-Juan/Centro Manufacturing. This is already challenging Nissan Urvan in the FX AUV market...

    yeah

    it's a one-off

    they call it a prototype as if they'll be mass producing some time later

    how are they gonna mass produce that thing?

    are they gonna buy all the local 2nd hand Nissan Patrols out there?

    are they gonna look for used Patrol engines and drivetrains in Japan?

    are they gonna invest in a manufacturing plant?

    or are they gonna build each one by hand in a shop on a per order basis?
