kompressor- sobra k naman.. wat do u mean na mag expire pasyente?mamatay?pre basta malinis ang daaN kahit isuzu trucks bibilis din yan.. baka ung bilis na cnasabi mu eh ung pag emergency na 150-160 ang takbo... hndi kaya mnganib din ang nsa loob ng ambulance? kung trapik may mgagawa ba ang urban at hi ace na speed/comfort ang priority? db kaya lng bumibilis ang takbo ng ambulance kc ng gigiveway mga sasakyan? maaring hndi kasing bilis ng urban at hi ace ang i-van pero pg my timing mkkbilis din yang ivan kahit panu..

ung marketing ng isuzu 22o nman yan.. tried and tested na yan.. wag k muna mgsalita ng tapos.. pg may bumili nyang ivan ambulance wait k lng jan pre.. kaya gumawa ang isuzu ng van para ilapit sa mga tao ung trucks nila.. iniisip kc ng tao "ay isuzu yan, pang truck lng yan.. hindi pan tao".. cguro para makahabol din sa urban at hi ace

yan pala basehan mo... hiace and urvan

kaya pala tinawag mo "extra heavy duty" ang NHR

ooookaaaay i get it

**mondragon** · February 20th, 2012 08:55 PM

actually sa tamang configuration ng seats it can fit at least 23 people... remember hndi pepechugin payload ng nhr flexi truck-2325kg
and i-van 2280kg... kung nkr it will have 2810kg payload.. mas ok un... ms cgurado ang 27 seater dun kahit 12x12 ung rear tapos 3 sa harap... actually kung base natin sa 80kg lahat ng pasahero uubra at hindi overload sa nhr... how much more pa sa nkr... mga 4willers yan ah

uu pre.. bigyan nmn natin ng chance ang i-van.. hndi pa nga nagagamit sa uv express eh.. kc alam mo, 1 pa lng nakita ko na d-max ipv na ginamit sa express service at 1 na isuzu truck pa lang... sna dumami pa.. lalo na ung i-van na yan... sabi ng agents meron dw kasi na 16-18-20 configuration,,, but if u want more seating configure, bka pwde k bumili ng nhr/nkr truck lng mismo taz pagawa k ng van body sa labas.. ganun nlng

**mondragon** · February 20th, 2012 09:02 PM

mr uls, ask ko lng.. bakit nga ba tinanggal na nila ung elf? bakit na cla ng concntrate sa nhr? may nakita nga ako sa daan isuzu elf tapos 30 passengers not including driver.. pero 6 wheeler gamit.... at wat do u think, kung ung gulong ng nhr flexi truck ung ginamit sa i-van.. parang mas bagay eh

Sa city driving adequate naman ang takbo. Medyo bitin sa open roads especially when overtaking on two lane national roads. With sirens on, other vehicles would reduce their speed to let you through but they aren't really planning on stopping so you still need the power to pull ahead and clear of them. And yes, front drum brakes in 2012 is just a bit silly. Even the Ford Type II's can stop better (with ABS assistance to boot).

mondragon,
Those are the officially released (by Centro?) ratings. Haven't delved into them yet. hehe.

Sa payload, ang kinoconsider talaga eh yung chassis, suspension and body kung kakayanin ang weight. Mataas nga ang payload rating ng truck pero anemic naman ang ima-match na makina. Kahit "heavy duty" pa daw yang makina kamo pero sobrang underpowered naman relative sa payload na bitbit, matutulad din yan sa fate ng 2C na ginamit sa FX. Mas accelerated ang wear and tear due to excess fatigue.
