A powerhouse CV dealer partner in the Visayas
As one of the four pioneer dealerships of HARI, HCI has built its name on rock-solid foundation as an automotive provider. Prior to being appointed as an official dealer of HARI in 2002, it has already credited 20 years of experience in the auto industry to its name, which further gives credence to the dealership’s stalwart standing as a business mover in Cebu.
HCI’s growth within two decades as HARI’s official dealership is stellar, with glowing remarks in the sales and after-sales front. HCI was awarded three times as Dealer of the Year (2007, 2008, 2009) by HARI and was honored Asia-Pacific Dealer of the Year twice (2008, 2009) by Hyundai Motor Company.
Upon its appointment as official Hyundai CV dealer by HARI in 2016, HCI showed strong performance as well. Hyundai Trucks and Buses Cebu was bestowed three significant recognitions as Top Sales Team, Best in County Sales, and Best in Light-Medium Duty Sales by HARI in 2017. 2018 saw Hyundai Trucks and Buses Cebu rank 2nd in the Award of Excellence for Wholesale, and in 2019, their hard work paid off once more, as they emerged a champion in Top Performance for truck sales, and Best in Over-the-counter Parts Sales, all in HARI’s CV Dealer of the Year Awards.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic that hit in 2020, HCI moved to continue elevating their dealership operations at Hyundai Trucks and Buses Cebu by revitalizing their facility through Hyundai GDSI-inspired standards. Fast forward to 2021, HCI has forged ahead with a refreshed facility that’s ready to help Cebu build bold business.
“We, at HARI, congratulate the efforts of Hyundai Trucks and Buses Cebu for coming full circle in its aim to sustain their competitiveness in the market, as well as to remain true to Hyundai’s commitment to be a partner in every way,” expressed Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, HARI President and CEO.
