The Philippine construction industry has gotten back up to its feet and is now back to pre-pandemic levels. Construction companies are experiencing a resurgence, fueled by positive forecasts and a thriving economy, as they are once again operating at full capacity, and when it comes to getting the job done, selecting the appropriate equipment is paramount for construction companies to successfully complete their tasks. For that dilemma, Kia Philippines has got just the right truck.
Scheirman Construction Consolidated Inc. (SCCI) was established in 2016 and is a construction company that has rigid requirements for its equipment. With a track record of surpassing the expectations of its diverse clientele in residential, commercial, healthcare, industrial, corporate, and small business sectors, SCCI has now opted for the versatile Kia K2500 4x4 double cab dropside as its trusted all-around workhorse.
Scheirman Construction, led by Engr. William Russell Scheirman, Jr., was founded in 2016 and has its main offices located in Cainta, Metro Manila, and Cebu. The K2500 on the other hand is the ideal match for this thriving company as it precisely fulfills a unique set of requirements.
“The K2500 suits our very demanding requirements, and because of its unique 4x4 configuration, it makes for a very ideal fleet vehicle for our construction company. We need a dependable truck to arrive at its destination—no matter what.”
Aside from being a rugged workhorse, the K2500 has impressive power, making it one of the most formidable vehicles in its class. Its 2.5-liter CRDi turbodiesel engine generates 128 hp at 3,800 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1,500 rpm to 3,500 rpm, providing robust performance. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, this potent and efficient engine delivers adequate fuel efficiency and flexibility, whether you’re traversing open highways or maneuvering through congested urban areas.
The K2500 is backed by a comprehensive three-year or 110,000 kilometer-warranty, whichever comes first, along with three-year free 24/7 Roadside Assistance, providing peace of mind to businesses. Additionally, Kia says that the K2500 is easy on the wallet in terms of maintenance, allowing businesses to minimize expenses and maximize profits. In the event of unforeseen incidents, Kia has a vast inventory of readily available parts, supported by a nationwide network of service centers that are always prepared to provide assistance.
The SCCI office in RS City Square, Ortigas Avenue Extension in Cainta received a shipment of 10 K2500 units. Among these, eight units will be deployed in Cebu, while the remaining two will be utilized in the Metro Manila area. Armando Inabangan Jr., Chief Strategy Officer and Director of SCCI expressed appreciation for the availability of a vehicle with such specifications in the local market through Kia, as no other brand offers a 4x4 double cab model. The fleet of K2500s will be put to work immediately, connecting SCCI to its clients with each trip.
