XLT: THe AUV of Native Assemblers

[True Faith]

This is a 16 seater passenger "XLT" PUJ in Tarlac...

Powered by an Isuzu C240 diesel engine

Considered as a workhorse in Central Luzon...

Assemblers of this vehicle are mostly located in Apalit, Pampanga...

Apalit, Pampanga made XLT...

Another version....Honda CRV look

I remember we were talking to the MVPMAP about the XLT during our meet with them before... it's a shame that this grassroots assembly program isn't better supported by the government, as the XLTs are a more modern alternative to the Jeepney.

Yup it is really a shame but not surprising the XLT movement (like its counterparts in the other regions) has never been supported by the government.

Inherent in its failure to progress further is also the lack of standard specifications and dimensions, which severely restricts acceptance and replication beyond its original area of service.

Agree architect.


If these native manufacturers are given government support (by DOST in metal fabrication etc.; BOI in terms of incentives; DTI in operations and marketing) I think their full potential can be harnessed.

Alisin lang burloloy. Lagyan naman ng konting ayos naman sa design.

I saw a backyard auto workshop near Laguna that produces the same kind
of AUV...

..although its version is smaller and shorter...

In other words, there are still operators who use them as PUJ/school bus...

it will never be supported by the goverment because di naman ganun kadali magestablish ng automotive manufacturing business (pinoy brand),
they dont even design ang make their engines, mga kinahoy or surplus lang ng makina from other vehicles, how can they survive copyright ang legal matters?
-They dont have their own R&D
-They dont have their own plants
-They dont have Q.A. (quality assurance)
-Most probably kulang din sa formal training and theory puro so and so experience lang.
-It wont pass international safety requirements (dito lang yata satin meron mga ganyang sasakyan)
-It wont pass euro class emission testing


its a big no no pa rin for me.

pede pa siguro kung lalabas yan sa sarili nilang planta passing all modern safety and quality requirements
