The PhilConstruct Expo is an event in the Philippines where companies like construction, heavy equipment, and housing industry are showcasing their products. It is also an opportunity for the visitors to take a glimpse of their new products that will be offered to the market especially in heavy equipment.
This would be the first time that I went to the said event. Held in SMX Convention Center last week — from November 9 to November 12. My first impression on the event when I entered the floor, it's like a carshow of trucks and heavy equipment, there is also an actual demonstation of their products. A variety of Chinese truck brands where present at the event, this would be also the first time that I saw their actual products here in the Philippines; they are CNHTC-Sinotrucks and Chenglong trucks.
CNHTC-Sinotrucks. The said company displayed their Howo series model; the design especially of their Howo A1 model is similar to those Lorry in Europe like Volvo. The company is loacted in Jinan city, Shandong Province, P. R. China. Here are some of the images of the trucks.

At the event, one brand caught my attention and that is Komatsu; they showcase and demonstrate their Hybrid Excavator or Hybrid Backhoe. Here are the images of the Hybrid Excavator. This heavy construction equipment is definitely a must-have for companies who are after fuel-efficieny.

Interesting and humble brand was at the event is the KAMA trucks. The engine of their product is very "tropicalize" in the Philippine set-up. Their strategy is the same with Toyota which you can buy parts anywhere even in a small stores. Very interesting is their price, they are lower compare to competitor especially the FB models. Here are the images of their products.
