The biggest contributors to the Philippine economy are the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which covers more than 99-percent of the business in the country.

Unfortunately, the current effect of the pandemic covid19 brings a lot of damaged to the sector, and in result, unknown economic fallout. This leads multinational companies to extend help and provide the necessary adjustments towards new normal settings of SMEs to recover from financial distress.

British heritage brand Maxus, which is under AC Motors, the automotive distributor and retail group of AC Industrials of the Ayala Group of Companies, is serious in helping out the SMEs, owners adapt to the new normal by introducing the perfect van to their logistic means.

For that generous cargo space that affords SMEs that peace of mind in securing not only a sustainable enterprise, but more importantly, the safety and health of their drivers, and cargo handlers.

Meet the Maxus V80 Flex van.

For starters, the van offers a roomy cargo space of 6.9 cubic meters and flexible interiors to allow for proper physical distancing among the driver and cargo handlers, while at the same time the van’s 1.1-ton maximum loading capacity allows for sufficient cargo to maximize business operations.

According to Maxus, the van can be customized as ambulance which can provide enough space for necessary equipment, and the elbow room for emergency medical personnel to perform life-saving procedures on the patient en route to the hospital. Loading and unloading cargo or patients is done more efficiently and safely with the V80’s rear dual swing-out doors.

Moreover, the V80 van assures SMEs that power is not compromised. It has enough pulling power to deliver logistics and other services. Thanks to its 2.5-liter Euro-4 compliant turbocharged Common Rail Direct Injection with VGT that produces 134 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque. For added safety, it has front dual airbags, ABS, EBD and ISOFIX.

And because the brand is under Ayala Group, you won’t get left behind in terms of warranties and after-sales maintenance. It comes with a three years or 100,000 kilometers warranty, whichever comes first.

On top of that, the periodic maintenance service (PMS) covers first 5,000 kilometers or 6 months and every succeeding 10,000 kilometers or every 12 months, whichever comes first. This is more convenient and more cost-efficient compared to the industry-standard 5,000-km PMS interval. There is also 24/7 emergency roadside assistance (ERA) available for Maxus customers for their convenience.
