When choosing a vehicle meant for government rescue operations, it’s essential to pick a model that’s supremely dependable even in the worst situations. That’s why the 2nd District of Oriental Mindoro selected the Isuzu TRAVIZ Rescue Vehicle as part of the province’s ongoing campaign to modernize and strengthen its rescue efforts among its 136 barangays.

Year in and year out, day in and day out, the Mitsubishi L-300 can be relied upon to deliver on its uncompromising standard of reliability. The one word that best describes this unassuming workhorse.
