ISUZU Philippines has unveiled a new roll-out: the 2020 Isuzu Traviz, a lightweight truck made for people and cargo hauling. With this new model, Isuzu proves that it has more to offer than just vehicles for everyday driving but also business solutions—“Transcend your business” being the tagline for the model.
The Traviz is equipped with a Euro 4 compliant Direct Injection Common Rail diesel engine, which means it delivers in fuel efficiency without compromising emission and environmental impact. Its rigid chassis also makes it more than capable for long haul drives. It is mated with a five-speed manual transmission.
Interiors are also designed for driver and passengers’ comfort: spacious legroom for up to three persons, instrument panel with Tachometer, power steering for comfortable driving, strategically placed parking brake and shift lever for easy reach and ergonomically elevated seating for better visibility.
While it has an impressive 1.6-ton payload capacity, the Traviz has a surprisingly light body, making city diving and maneuvering narrow streets, even full U-turns, easy. What’s unique about the Traviz is that it has several body configurations depending on your needs: utility van, aluminum van, refrigerated van, dropside truck and even a bare cab-and-chassis option as well—different bodies for different applications, whether you’re taking a big group of people or transporting huge loads.
The Traviz also comes with a built-in USB-ready radio system so you can play your favorite tunes to keep you entertained while on the road. Optional air conditioning is also available upon customer’s request.
