Columbian Manufacturing Corporation the exclusive manufacturer of Daewoo Buses in the Philippines unveils the BV115 and the BS106 Daewoo Bus models

At the recently held 4th Philippine International Motor Show, organized by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Incorporated (CAMPI), Columbian Manufacturing Corporation (CMANC), the exclusive distributor and manufacturer of Daewoo Buses in the Philippines unveiled the BV115 & BS106 Daewoo Bus models, both proudly Philippine-made in its Sta. Rosa Laguna Plant.

In a span of three years, CMANC assembled and manufactured around 700 Daewoo Buses to various customers traversing from the northernmost part of Luzon up to southernmost Mindanao running at a combined mileage of 120,000,000 kilometers.

The BV115 Daewoo Bus model provides great performance, fuel-efficiency, safety, and comfort to both driver and passengers alike. It has elegant styled exteriors and a comfortable, modern interior. It’s also rugged and tough, made specifically for the Philippines’ tropical climate and the roughest road conditions in the Philippines.

Truly a class above the rest of the locally available buses, the BV115 Daewoo Bus is powered by the most fuel efficient (Euro II certified) engine capable of 340 PS, at 2,100 rpm. It delivers high levels of torque, enhanced fuel efficiency and low emissions. This engine is paired with a 6-speed Allison Torqmatic, fully automatic transmission with retarder. Potential buyers will be pleased to know that, Daewoo Buses are now more fuel efficient and cost less to maintain compared with all other brands in the same category.

Passengers can relax while sitting on ergonomically designed, first class seats which gently moulds to the shape of the body. Any seat on the bus is the best seat, thanks to the LED wide screen TV and advanced audio system which makes the trip more enjoyable no matter where one sits on this bus. Finally, long drives won’t be interrupted by pit stops because the BV115 Daewoo Bus has an on board comfort room, an essential convenience.

For those who are curious about how buses are made, the BS106 display unit gives a glimpse into the structural framework beneath a Daewoo Bus. This powerful yet light frame provides the structural integrity which makes Daewoo Buses so rugged. And it is the reason behind the enhanced safety, comfort and fuel efficiency of the buses. Furthermore, a transparent Plexiglass flooring lets one see-through to the chassis, the engine (240 PS @ 2,300 rpm) and other components found underneath.

Passengers will also be pleasantly surprised by how smooth and car-like riding a Daewoo Bus feels. This is due to the BS106’s suspension a heavy-duty, semi-elliptical alloy steel leaf spring with shock absorbers.

Despite growing importation of Completely Build Up (CBU) units, CMANC supports Completely Knock Down (CKD) operations in order to provide more jobs, and develop more products for both local and export markets. In fact, in the coming years and as the conditions and timing permits, Daewoo Bus Global is looking into introducing some exciting alternative fuel variants such as; Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Hybrid, and Electric buses to the Philippines and the export market.
