XLT: THe AUV of Native Assemblers

[True Faith]

This is a 16 seater passenger "XLT" PUJ in Tarlac...

Powered by an Isuzu C240 diesel engine

Considered as a workhorse in Central Luzon...

Assemblers of this vehicle are mostly located in Apalit, Pampanga...

Apalit, Pampanga made XLT...

Another version....Honda CRV look

I remember we were talking to the MVPMAP about the XLT during our meet with them before... it's a shame that this grassroots assembly program isn't better supported by the government, as the XLTs are a more modern alternative to the Jeepney.

Yup it is really a shame but not surprising the XLT movement (like its counterparts in the other regions) has never been supported by the government.

Inherent in its failure to progress further is also the lack of standard specifications and dimensions, which severely restricts acceptance and replication beyond its original area of service.

Agree architect.


If these native manufacturers are given government support (by DOST in metal fabrication etc.; BOI in terms of incentives; DTI in operations and marketing) I think their full potential can be harnessed.

Maganda sana kaya lang sobra ung dekorasyon naman

[amspec]

Sir, tanong ko lang kung saan po yung location nung JVL, Balangcas? Taga Pangasinan po kasi ako gusto ko rin sana magpa-asseble ng XLT sa Pampanga kaso hindi ko po alam kung saan pwede magpa-assemble doon. Power steering ba yang Fortuner XLT niyo? May aircon din po ba? Mga magkano po ang ganyan? Thanks.

At least the XLT seems to have a better weather protection than most of the jeepneys with those plastic curtains instead of real windows.

[KIANTOT]

Ang disadvantage lang ng real windows sa XLT is not good for hot season, less air ventilation lalo na kapag na stock sa traffic. that's why jeepneys are still using plastic curtains or "trapal"

[sotel]

ano po magandang makina para sa 7 seater na auv
c190 po kc nakakabit pero palaging na bibitin sa akyatan

It doesn't prevent to have some roof-mounted air inlets like the ones used in heavy-duty trucks and that were usual in buses when aircon was not an usual feature. Some of those inlets already have fans to force the air to pass trough.
