AS the cornerston­e of Philippine business and commerce, the commercial vehicle segment has risen considerab­ly year-on-year. In the third quarter of 2017 alone, it’s gone up by 14.1 percent compared to the same period last year. It’s on this high note that Pioneer Truck Parts and Equipment Corporatio­n showed off its sprawling facility in Cabuyao, Laguna.

“Pioneer Truck Parts and Equipment Corporatio­n is a family-owned and operated import-based company that wholesales and retails US and European-made truck and trailer parts that caters to the domestic logistics and transport of commercial goods,” explains managing director Aaron Go.

The facility, covering some 8,000 square-meters is fully dedicated to truck repair and maintenanc­e. The company carries truck and trailer parts from brands such as PNW Systems, JOST, Kenworth, and PACCAR. With trained mechanics on site, everything from windshield replacemen­t, brake repair, and even engine overhaul or replacemen­t can be done.

Additional­ly, with Pioneer being the exclusive distributo­r of AutoKontro­l, a brand of speed limiters, they can also do the installati­on there as well.

“We have already installed our speed limiters to truck fleets of several logistics companies and even truck manufactur­ers such as Isuzu Philippine­s Corporatio­n,” reveals Go. “Our objective is for all fleet owners to extend vehicle life, improve economy, reduce maintenanc­e costs, and promote public commuter safety.”

Apart from truck and trailer parts, and speed limiter devices, Pioneer is also the importer of truck brands such as Kenworth, Internatio­nal, and Peterbilt. Soon, they’ll be adding DAF Trucks to their portfolio as well. This is evidenced by a portion of the facility reserved for DAF Trucks.

A division of Paccar, an American Fortune 500 company and among the world’s largest manufactur­er of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, DAF Trucks is a Dutch truck manufactur­ing company with headquarte­rs and main plant located in Eindhoven, Netherland­s.

“Pioneer Truck Parts and Equipment Corporatio­n has been in the trucking business for almost a decade and has seen the industry’s growth through the years. The upward trend in the logistics industry is very encouragin­g and that’s why we will be here to provide for their needs,” concludes Go.

Pioneer Truck Parts and Equipment Corporatio­n is located at 341 G. Araneta Avenue, Barangay Santol, Quezon City where they carry parts and accessorie­s on display as well as a “test drive” of their speed limiter device.
