Isuzu Motors: 2012 Isuzu D-Max

When Toyota and Mitsubishi release their vehicles equipped with Variable Geometric Turbo for optimal performance and maximum fuel-efficiency, that their sales increase. Isuzu was left behind with quite inferior engine technology that they offer to the consumer. Now, Isuzu Motors release their latest Isuzu D-Max that will compete with the two automotive maker, the 2012 Isuzu D-Max. 2012 Isuzu D-Max is now equipped with VGT / Variable Geometric Turbo, impressive move from Isuzu because they offer new engine to the consumer which I think it is good compare to the two competitor. One of the biggest asset of this engine is the introduction of the "Isuzu Insight" which will detect and analyze the vehicle behavior and driver's driving habit, to be more safer and more fuel efficient; similar to Hyundai's ECO system which is found on their new Hyundai Sonata. The design itself was carefully done using wind-tunnel technology which also use in F1 cars for more fuel-efficiency and performance, more speed low drag.
A forecast that this vehicle will be one of the most fuel-efficient among its competitor because of the technology they put on the vehicle. Another thing that this is a fuel-efficient vehicle is LED light is a standard. Available in manual and automatic transmission.





I recommend to all buyers, that if you are planning to buy a new Isuzu D-Max; I'll wait for this model. Hold first your money and wait for this model to be available.

Hyundai Grace Van/s: school-bus service/school-service franchise Philippines

Just my observation this 2011 regarding on hyundai grace vans. At that time I am going to Ortigas and my route is Greenhills in San Juan. Every motorist will passed La-Salle Greenhills before approaching the Ortigas business district. On the school premises you will see hyundai vans with school-bus / school-service franchise authorized by the LTFRB or Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. At first, I thought that this school only have this hyundai vans with school-service franchise scheme but when I go around other school, I saw hyundai vans specially hyundai grace with school-service franchise; means of a school-bus. By this kind of business, Jay-Vee and sons will run for their money regarding school-service or school-bus business here in the Philippines.





Besides GT Express or UV Express, hyundai grace is feasible to be a school bus or school sevice. It is very popular in Philippines because of the affordable price and incomer earner for the common Filipino. All you need is a hyundai grace and a school-service franchise provided by the Land Trasportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. One requirement turning a hyundai grace into a school-bus or school-service, is painting the whole hyundai grace with yellow and black stripes, which is a requirement to school-bus, and other requirements by the LTFRB.





Other benefits of a hyundai grace as a school-bus are the comfortability, spacious interior, the affordable parts of hyundai grace similar to Mitsubishi L-300 engine, and maintenance; simple change-oil and timing-belt change. Other requirement may arise and be dealt by an owner of hyundai grace for school-bus or with school-service franchise is; besides the approval from the LTFRB you will also need the approval, necessary documents from the school which your schoo-bus or with school-service franchise will cater. Hyundai Grace comes in two variant: standard hyundai-grace; 9-15 seater, and jumbo hyundai grace; 18-12 seater. Guess the passengers will be satisfied riding a hyunda grace.
