Hyundai H-100 trucks now move Lalamove’s business

DRIVERS of on-demand delivery service Lalamove who are using Hyundai H-100 trucks are set to get benefits like discounts for parts and labor, faster turnaround on preventive maintenance services, fixed rates for picking up and delivering units for PMS, and a program for fleet expansion and re-fleeting.

Making this possible is a new partnership between Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) and Lalamove Philippines.

HARI said the tie-up aims to empower micro, small and medium enterprises, as well as large corporations, by reducing transportation costs, expanding consumer reach and helping ensure on-time deliveries.

“Hyundai and Lalamove speak the same language when it comes to transportation. One of Hyundai’s advocacies is sustainable mobility, and we are so excited to contribute to this by marrying the strength, durability and efficiency of the H-100 with Lalamove’s wide network of partners and convenient user interface,” said HARI president and CEO President Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo.

The H-100 is a light truck with a 2.5-liter CRDi Euro4-compliant diesel engine. It has a payload capacity of 1,335 kilograms. It undergoes a seven-dip electrodeposition process to produce a durable and rust-proof coating. The truck is also backed by a five-year unlimited mileage warranty.

“Lalamove’s mission is to empower local communities, said Lalamove Philippines managing director Dannah Majarocon. “This means providing our partner drivers with a source of livelihood. The H-100 is a durable and versatile vehicle that is fully equipped to do this and to satisfy our customers’ delivery needs. On top of that, Lalamove will have easy access to PMS and parts given Hyundai’s ever-growing nationwide network of dealerships.”
