SAN JUAN CITY, October 25, 2026 — A new destination for adventure has arrived in EDSA-Greenhills. 212 Motor Philippines, under Transcorp Incorporated, has opened its first flagship showroom dedicated entirely to the 212 brand—and marked the occasion with the Philippine launch of the all-new 212 P01 pickup.
Partners from 212 International, members of the media, and 212 owners joined the celebration. A blessing, lion dance, and ribbon cutting brought the showroom to life and opened a new chapter for the brand in the Philippines.
Mr. Wilfred Chua, CEO and Chairman of Transcorp Incorporated, welcomed guests and called the showroom a significant milestone: “This showroom marks a significant milestone as the country’s first flagship showroom dedicated entirely to 212.”
Meet the 212 P01
The P01 made its entrance in a dramatic light show, bringing bold pickup presence and serious off-road hardware to the stage.
“We believe the Philippines is a pickup country,” said Mr. Bryan Chua, Vice President and Managing Director of Transcorp Incorporated. “Here, a pickup carries the business during the week and the family on weekend getaways.”
The 212 P01 is priced from PHP 2,888,000. For one month from launch, customers can enjoy an exclusive PHP 50,000 discount.
Built to Take the Rough Road
When the pavement ends, the P01 is ready to keep going. Its part-time 4WD system is supported by front, rear, and center differential locks, while 254 mm of ground clearance, a 42° approach angle, 26° departure angle, 20.5° ramp angle, and 850 mm wading depth help it tackle challenging terrain. LT285/65R18 all-terrain tires, hill-start assist, and hill descent control add confidence when the route gets demanding.
Under the hood, a Dongfeng 2.3-liter turbo-diesel delivers 190 hp and 500 N·m of torque. It’s paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission and Standard, Economic, and Sport drive modes, giving drivers the flexibility to handle the daily drive—or head off in search of a new one.
Ready for Work. Ready for the Weekend.
The P01’s double-cab layout makes room for family, friends, and the gear that comes along. It offers a 620 kg rated payload and an 80-liter fuel tank for longer journeys. The pickup measures 5,469 mm long, 1,955 mm wide, and 1,960 mm tall, with a 3,488 mm wheelbase.
A Connected Cabin, Confidence Built In
Inside, the P01 pairs rugged utility with modern comforts: a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster, 12.3-inch central display, sunroof, wireless phone charging, automatic air conditioning with rear vents, and an eight-speaker audio system.
Safety features include driver and passenger front and side airbags, ESC, a 360-degree panoramic camera with chassis perspective view, front and rear parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring, and ISOFIX child-seat anchors.
