FITCOR to Distribute 3-Wheeled LPG Powered Vehicles

in the Philippines

Fleur-de-lis International Trading Corporation (FITCOR) a newly established company with good connections in the Philippines announced today that it has secured an exclusive distributorship to sell Trident Tricars, a line of 3-wheeled cars powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the Philippines.

“We believe the introduction of Trident LPG powered vehicles in the Philippines will be a major contribution to the country’s public transport sector,” FITCOR’s President & COO Salvie Einosas (left photo) said. "The Trident Sports Series, with its streamlined and modern design, presents itself as the best alternative to the tricyle, the country’s most popular mode of transport consisting of a motorcycle with a side-car attached to it,” Einosas added.

“University of the Philippines studies showed that air pollution produced by tricycle emissions are equivalent to that of 10 to 15 cars. The LPG powered Trident tricars, on the other hand, are clean-burning, quiet and economical to operate, as well as inexpensive.  Small and maneuverable, Tricars are also ideal for delivery fleets, messenger services or similar uses. The innovative designs of its other models answer specific market needs and requirements,” Einosas further said.  

Trident Tricars are produced in China and are branded exclusively for export as Trident O-Zone vehicles. These vehicles are powered by 250 to 1000 CC engines with automatic transmissions, power windows CD players and rear hatch back doors. Designed for use in China's congested urban and suburban areas the Trident has seen market success in China by filling a unique niche between the motorcycle and the traditional car.

 

LPG as a vehicle fuel is gaining rapid acceptance worldwide. Other countries are offering incentives for conversion to LPG which is less expensive than gasoline and produces far fewer emissions. The trend towards LPG is expected to accelerate as oil prices increase and air pollution becomes a global concern.

FITCOR intends to sell the Trident vehicles within Metro Manila on a direct basis and through sub-distributors in other parts of the country. Currently FITCOR is seeking distribution partners to accelerate growth.

It positions itself strategically to take the lead in introducing clean technology products in the country and delivering the benefits of using low emission vehicles to the Filipino people, the Philippine economy and the global environment.   It’s acquisition of an exclusive nationwide dealership rights on the Trident line of 3-wheeled vehicles is an important step towards this end.
