Suzuki honors its Top Dealers of the Year
The country’s only integrated automotive company, Suzuki Philippines Inc. (SPH), honored its top dealers in simple awarding ceremonies held last April 28, 2010, at Le Pavillion, Pasay City.
For having achieved the highest points on Suzuki’s Balanced Score Card (BSC) in 2009, Suzuki Auto Cebu was declared Dealer of the Year among Suzuki’s 18 automobile dealers nationwide. In 2008, Suzuki Auto Cebu was the top dealer in the provincial category.
Asked about the secret to their success, Suzuki Auto Cebu General Manager Debbie Chua, notes: “Winning the Dealer of the Year award is a testament to the hard work of our people. We will be trying very hard to maintain or even improve our sales volume and at the same time focus more on customer service so that we can continue to be the top Suzuki dealer.” Suzuki Auto Cebu is owned by Cebu Autocentrale Corporation, headed by the dynamic husband and wife team of Brian and Debbie Chua.
A consistent high performer for the past two years, Suzuki Auto Laguna earned the 2nd Top Dealer of the Year Award. They attribute their success to mastery of their territory, thus ensuring strong patronage from their customer base.
Third place in the Dealer of the Year standings went to Suzuki Auto Kalookan, which also garnered the no. 1 spot as Suzuki’s top Metro Manila dealer in retail sales.
Suzuki employs a Balanced Score Card (BSC) system for evaluating and rewarding its dealers in terms of marketing strategy implementation. The comprehensive rating system evaluates retail sales performance and spare parts sales, as well as service and showroom compliance. The system also ensures that Suzuki dealers maintain the company’s global standards to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.
Now celebrating its 25th year in the country, Suzuki Philippines is committed to introducing more dynamic, value-packed products to meet the mobility needs of Filipino motorists. Despite their relatively recent entry into the market, Suzuki automobiles enjoy a niche following among local car aficionados and have earned accolades for fuel-efficiency as well as value-for-money. Currently, the Suzuki automobile line-up consists of the Suzuki Grand Vitara, Suzuki APV Type II, Suzuki Jimny, Suzuki SX4, Suzuki Swift, Suzuki Celerio, and Suzuki Alto.

Motolite-powered electric vehicles join Earth Day motorcade
Motolite, the country’s leading automotive battery brand, supported the Earth Day pollution-free motorcade held last 22 April 2010, by powering electric vehicles like the REVA, the e-Jeepney, and the e-Trike. The motorcade, which was themed “Electric Vehicles, Bicycles, and Miss Earth: Making Waves in the Metro” started off from the Department of Natural Resources (DENR) compound at Visayas Avenue in Quezon City at 7:00 am, traversing EDSA with the early morning traffic to end at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.Motivated to discover cleaner and cheaper alternative sources of energy as part of its corporate social responsibility, Motolite is a recognized prime mover behind pollution-free electric vehicles in the country. By improving on its patented golf cart battery technology, Motolite has been able to produce a stronger, more reliable battery which can endure the extreme demands of public transportation, such as the e-Jeepney. Several local governments have adopted the e-Jeepneys, notably Makati City, Bacolod City, and Puerto Princesa City.
According to Motolite marketing manager Melissa Valdez, “As a Filipino company, Motolite is always happy to support initiatives that will help ensure a cleaner environment for future generations.” Aside from its support for electric vehicles, Motolite has also been at the forefront of an environmental protection program that encourages proper recycling of used lead acid batteries through its Balik-Baterya advocacy.
Motolite batteries are manufactured by Philippine Batteries, Inc. (PBI), the largest manufacturer, exporter and distributor of automotive, motorcycle and industrial battery products and solutions in the Philippines. Its fully integrated facility in Sta. Maria, Bulacan, is one of the largest and most modern battery manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia. It also has the country’s only ISO 14001-certified, environmentally-compliant recycling facility, the second biggest in Asia.
