FOTON F-Jeepneys are PITAMCO’s top choice in their intricate selection as their mobility partner. The cooperative highly values the brand’s durability and quality of aftersales service.

“The FOTON F24 modern jeepneys have a nice design and also have CCTV for security, Wi-Fi for the passengers not to get bored while traveling for work or wherever they will go, and the cashless fare collection. We simply fell in love with FOTON Modern F-Jeepney, so we chose them to be our partner in this PUV Modernization Program,” says PITAMCO Chairman, Ma. Flordeliza Albiso.

Moreover, the FOTON Modern F-Jeepney complies with the Department of Natural Resources (DENR)’s Administrative Order No. 2015-04. It’s equipped with Euro IV-compliant emission standards that cut the production of carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases by half, compared to Euro II.

Supporting this economy-boosting endeavor, representatives from various Cebu-based transport cooperative and government agencies attended the event, including delegates from Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board(LTFRB) Region 7, Cebu City Local Government, and the government financial institution, Landbank.
