PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, April 6 (PNA) -- Six units of Hino trucks were donated to the provincial government of Palawan by car company Toyota for the maintenance of its light and heavy equipment.

The donation of the truck units were led by Taichi Nagakubo, Hino Automotive Department Toyota Tsusho Corporation (HADTTC) supervisor.

Nagakubo said the trucks are specialized and can be used to maintain light and heavy equipment of the province as they are with repair tools.

The donation will speed up the implementation of projects since equipment that will suffer trouble can be repaired and fixed with the Hino truck units on standby.

Governor Jose Alvarez, who personally received the donation, said the truck units are necessary for the province to implement its infrastructure projects on time, and will ensure that the equipment will remain to be in mint use for a long time.

The common problem, he explained, among heavy equipment facilities, he recognized, is that when they suffer engine trouble, it is difficult for most repair facilities are in the motor pool or are in distant sites from project areas.
