Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC), together with dealer partner North-min Auto Dealers Inc. (NMADI), gathered fleet operators, cooperatives, non-government organizations, bank partners, business leaders, and industry stakeholders at the Isuzu NMADI Trucxpo 2026. This was held last September 14 to 15 at the Isuzu Cagayan de Oro showroom.

The two-day expo showcased Isuzu’s lineup of commercial vehicles alongside trusted body builders and equipment suppliers. This allowed attendees to explore transport solutions tailored to various business applications. By bringing together transport solution providers, industry experts, and business decision-makers, the expo served as a platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and business development across Mindanao.

“At Isuzu, we understand that businesses require transport solutions that are reliable, efficient, and aligned with their operational requirements. Through the Isuzu NMADI Trucxpo, we provide customers with access not only to our commercial vehicle lineup, but also to the expertise and specialized solutions of our trusted partners, helping them make informed decisions for their businesses,” said IPC President Mikio Tsukui.

Featured in the Trucxpo displays were three configurations of the Isuzu TRAVIZ in Utility Vehicle (UV) form for passengers and equipment, a Refrigerated Van for temperature-sensitive deliveries, and an Aluminum Van for enclosed cargo transport. Also on display were the Isuzu FVR Refrigerated Van and Isuzu FRR Refrigerated Van. All this aid in businesses with cold-chain logistics such as perishable products, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive cargo.

Completing the lineup was the Isuzu NQR Dropside, with this configuration for efficient loading and unloading of cargo. This makes it suitable for transporting construction materials, agricultural products, hardware supplies, and other commercial goods.

Beyond the vehicle showcase, the Isuzu NMADI Trucxpo 2026 provided attendees with opportunities to gain valuable industry insights through a series of breakout sessions, technical consultations, and networking activities.

One of the event's highlights was a technical forum facilitated by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), which discussed cold-chain standards and transport regulations relevant to businesses involved in temperature-controlled logistics. The session provided participants with practical guidance on regulatory compliance, operational best practices, and emerging industry developments.

Throughout the event, attendees also engaged directly with Isuzu representatives, body builders, equipment suppliers, banks and loan institutions, and industry experts to discuss transport solutions that not only comply with NMIS standards but also address their specific business needs.

Reflecting the event's focus on enabling business growth through transport solutions, NMADI General Manager Nyle Balasabas underscored the importance of supporting the industries that drive the entire Mindanao economy.

“We don't just sell trucks. We help businesses move. And when businesses move, industries move. When industries move, communities move. And when communities move, Mindanao moves forward,” said Balasabas.

The Trucxpo concluded with the Isuzu NMADI Partners’ Recognition Night, which recognized fleet customers, government and local business enterprises as well as bank and insurance partners for their continued trust in Isuzu products and services. Awards were presented across several categories, including the Corporate Sales Excellence Award, Government Sales Excellence Award, and Fleet Aftersales Excellence Award, among others.

The recognition program reflected IPC's commitment to building long-term partnerships with businesses across Mindanao. By honoring organizations that continue to rely on Isuzu vehicles and aftersales support to drive their operations, the awards highlighted the important role that customer partnerships play in sustaining business growth and operational success.
