Built around the concept of sustainability and responsible partnership, the Isuzu Philippines booth at the 8th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) showcases the benefits of Isuzu products and services and its significance to society. Having earned the title of "Number 1 Truck Brand in the Philippines" for twenty-two (22) consecutive years, it wishes to do more aside from being known for manufacturing durable and reliable vehicles.
