Guess everyone in the motoring industry and car community in the Philippines are celebrating that a Filipino bagged the overall winner of the 2015 Nissan PlayStation GT Academy Asian Region this month held in Silverstone, in United Kingdom.

Taking the Trophy is not that easy as the Indonesian driver Andika Rama is a fast driver too. What happened it was, somwhere in lap 4-8, Joward — Jose Gerard's nickname, overtake Andika due to a fatal mistake when he overshoot an Apex.

This is where Joward started to attack Andika, when the car of Andika somewhat committed a fatal error in making a turn. Resulting that he overshoot an apex to giveway to Joward from the Philippines


You will see at the cam that Andika overshoot at the Apex that provided Joward an opportunity to overtake him until the last lap

From that mistake, the Indonesian driver is aggressive to take the pole position as he cuts his time to a 2 of a milliseconds driving Joward pressured. However, the Filipino driver keeps his pace and his rhythm calm until Lap 9 as you can see at the image below that they are bumper to bumper and neck-to-neck in closing the race. However, the Filipino reign supreme at the end of the race.


After that race, a victory party held at the 22 bar and resto in Jupiter Makati for the top 6 racers who arrived from the United Kingdom.

Nissan NV-350 Caravan: Philippine release

Nissan Philippines officially annouced the launching of the next-generation van that will compete with its competitor Toyota's Grandia van and will offer more options to the consumer; Nissan introduced, the Nissan NV-350 Caravan series.

NISSAN NV-350 Philippine Release by easternmotors

Nissan NV-350 is equipped with a powerful with 2.5, 163 PS E-VGT Engine which can also be found on the new Nissan NP300 Navarra pick-up for maximum pulling power and to deliver heavy loads that can deliver from point A to point B. As stated on the engine, you will not worry of turning off the aircon while climbing the steep mountain of Quezon, Baguio, or Tagaytay which is very common to other vans that is sold in the market.

One thing that I can say about Nissan is that their legendary aircon. I think ever since that I began to be hooked up with cars, Nissan is already the king of aircons in the automotive market. Now you can experienced that with their new NV350 Urvan.

On the safety zone, the Nissan NV350 introduced the LSV Technology or Load-Sensing-Valve. A first to be offered in the Philippines where the it distribute necessary pressure on the brakes whether the van is loaded or unloaded. This is vital in the transport business, avoiding wheel-lock up, in other words, this is the ABS or Anti-Lock Braking system for drum-brakes, and for trucks and vans.

As stated by Managing Director and President of Nissan Philippines Antonio Zara; this is vital for those who are into transport business in the Philippines, especially Shuttle operators (Like UV Express) that Nissan Urvan is already proven reliable, passenger comfort, and most of all strong air-conditioning which is the important key in terms of public transport, van-rental, and van logistics or delivery.


Designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs, shuttle operators, and family users, the Fifth-generation Nissan NV350 Urvan sports an overhaul to its design and key features, making this van the only competitor in the commercial van class in terms of power and comfort.

Since in the Philippine Mass-transit system is already a big inconvenienced to the public due to negligence on some of the staff in the Government, common commutter have no choise but to opt to UV express which can deliver from one place to another sacrificing convenience of riding one. Since we are dealing with the UV Express, LTFRB are now mandating the operators to have their AUV or Vans which have already aged 10-15 years in the service; Nissan NV-350 will be the best solution as a replacement. Also, NV350 will be a big benefits for the operators of School buses which are investing for a new unit before the franchise will be released.

The all-new Nissan NV-350 will be made available starting on June 15, which is today as we speak, in the following configuration and pricing:

18-Seater Nissan NV-350; the price will be at Php 1.196 Million
18-Seater Nissan NV-350; the price will be at Php 1.183 Million
3-Seater Cargo Nissan NV-350; the price will be at Php 1.177 Million
