In its mission and commitment to the well-being of overseas workers and their families, Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP), in collaboration with Alpine Motors Corporation (AMC) – FUSO Carmona – recently held a significant turnover ceremony. During this event, FUSO Carmona handed over three FJ units to the Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA), symbolizing a fresh chapter in their dedication to aiding the requirements of Filipino workers.
Key OWWA officials, under the leadership of Administrator Arnell Ignacio, alongside the Almazora Motors Corporation team, and representatives from both AMC – FUSO Carmona and Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation, were present at the turnover ceremony.
“This collaboration embodies our commitment and efforts to empower overseas Filipino workers and ensure their safety and support. Thank you, OWWA, for your hard work and drive to this crucial endeavor. The turnover of our vehicles signifies our responsibility to provide reliable and durable products to your organization. We hope these FJ units make a substantial contribution to your organization, elevating daily operations to a new level of efficiency as well.”
The renowned durability and performance of the FUSO FJ make it a substantial investment in ensuring efficient and secure transportation for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families, especially during calamities. The Fuso FJ is equipped with a robust in-line six 6.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine, generating 235 hp and an impressive 850 Nm of torque. Standard specifications include reverse Elliot axles at the front and a fully floating axle at the rear. The suspension system consists of a semi-elliptic with auxiliary springs at the front and a semi-elliptic with auxiliary springs at the rear. These components allow the FJ to take a considerable amount of punishment and still keep going. The FJ truck for the OWWA is outfitted with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping area, and Wi-Fi.
At the event, Administrator Arnell Ignacio conveyed appreciation for the accomplished product turnover. These vehicles are anticipated to be strategically stationed in vital locations across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, ready to be swiftly deployed to offer relief assistance to OFWs and their families in times of calamities.
