This year’s PhilBus and Truck exhibition is expected to be the largest gathering of PUV manufacturers across the country, especially in support of the ongoing government initiative to modernize the Philippine transport system. HMP Chairman Vicente T. Mills, Jr. will discuss the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) and share how the company is supporting the PUVMP initiative through its modern jeepney units at the 4th Transport Cooperative National Congress scheduled for the third day of the trade event. The congress, which is made possible through a partnership with Hino, is one of the forums organized for the three-day transport event.

“We’re honored to have been invited to speak at the Transpo Congress. As a pioneer participant in the PUVMP, we would be glad to discuss how our Hino units are helping the program transform the country’s transport system,” shared Mills. HMP has been an active supporter of and participant in the PUVMP, designing and developing the first batch of modern jeepney units. To date, Hino has turned over more than 100 modern jeepney units to several transport cooperatives in Taguig, Pateros, Makati, Quezon City and Iloilo. Hino also recently joined the Modern PUV Caravan, a joint undertaking that aims to bring modern PUV vehicles to different cities in the Philippines.

HMP joined the 1st Modern PUV Caravan in early July.
