On the entrepreneurship end, the Wonder double-cab pickup is a dynamic package ready to take your business to new heights. Equipped with a Euro 5 1.6-liter gasoline engine churning out 118hp and 152Nm of torque, this pickup can handle a payload of up to 915kg on its bed.

The interior provides comfort and functionality fit for modern travel. It features a nine-inch multimedia screen with Bluetooth and a reverse camera display.

For safety and convenience, the Wonder comes with electric-assisted power steering, multifunction steering wheel, antilock braking system, electronic brake-pressure distribution, digital driver’s display, power locking with centralized door lock control, daytime running lights, and automatic headlamps.

This fun-looking package that’s ready to empower any small business can be had for a reasonable P770,000. A five-year or 150,000km warranty (whichever comes first) offers peace of mind.

Embracing the electric future for family travel is the new Traveller Sierra EV. This electric passenger van with a seating capacity of 12 is capable of reaching 303km on a single charge.

It’s equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port, making it compatible with our growing local charging ecosystem. The 77.28kWh battery produces a generous 181hp and 330Nm of torque.

Foton Philippines general manager Levy Santos was proud to introduce the Traveller Sierra EV as the first full-electric passenger van in the country. Apart from its electric powertrain, this van boasts modern amenities and features that include a 12.3-inch screen with video playback, a reverse camera display, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.

Furthermore, it’s equipped with a multifunction steering wheel and electronic power steering. For safety, electronic stability control, antilock braking system, electronic brake-pressure distribution, emergency brake assist, anti-slip regulation, and hill hold control come as standard.

The Traveller Sierra EV will set you back P2.5 million. It comes with a five-year or 200,000km warranty (whichever comes first) for the battery and the electric powertrain. On top of that, a three-year/100,000km general warranty is included.
