Isuzu Philippines Corp. (IPC) remains as the country’s leading truck brand by the end of April, continuing its reign at the top spot for 25 consecutive years.
Based on the latest joint report of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA), IPC seized 43 percent of the market share of the truck segment within the first four months of the year.
During the period, IPC sold 1,592 truck units.
“Our continued leadership in the truck market reflects the brand’s unwavering commitment to delivering vehicles that truly work for our customers,” said IPC President Mikio Tsukui.
“Owning an Isuzu truck means investing in a product that is proven to last longer, perform more efficiently, and cost less to maintain over time,” he added.
The Isuzu N-Series, which is popular among logistics and delivery companies, lead the sales for IPC with 905 units.
The versatility and ease of use of this model made it the ideal truck for businesses navigating through congested urban areas.
Isuzu medium-duty trucks ranked second, selling 545 units during the first four months of the year.
IPC said these trucks, which are designed to be fitted with various body applications, are favored by businesses traversing long-haul routes.
Heavy-duty trucks, majority of which coming from the new S&E Series, so far sold 142 units this year.
This model has seen a strong surge this year driven by higher demand of ongoing infrastructure projects and purchases of local government units (LGUs).
“With this strong start to 2025, we are optimistic about maintaining this momentum through the rest of the year,” said Tsukui.
Tsukui said the company will maintain its grasp on the truck market through its nationwide aftersales support, which covers seamless access to products and services to minimize customer downtime.
IPC also offers training programs for drivers and mechanics to educate them on safe, efficient, and reliable vehicle operation.
“We are confident that our combination of product excellence and customer support will help us retain our position as the number one truck brand in the Philippines,” said Tsukui.
