After successfully introducing THACO-branded buses to this market, THACO AUTO expands its exports with the THACO Linker truck, offering a new and optimal transport solution.

As Southeast Asia is undergoing major transformations in logistics, demand for flexible and cost-efficient vehicles continues to rise. Understanding this, THACO AUTO has teamed up with BJM to bring THACO Linker trucks to transport businesses across the Philippines.

The trucks are developed and manufactured at the THACO TRUCK plant in Chu Lai, Da Nang, central Vietnam. With a localization rate of up to 70%, THACO Linker trucks deliver core values suited to every terrain and business need:

• Durable and fuel-efficient performance: The trucks feature a new-generation Euro 5 engine paired with a lightweight aluminum gearbox that dissipates heat well, ensuring strong performance and high cost efficiency.
• Sturdy design: The monocoque chassis provides stability and safety, even under heavy loads.
• Flexible customization: The THACO Linker stands out for its wide range of cargo box options. From standard configurations (drop-side, tarpaulin, and box) to specialized models such as refrigerated trucks and mobile shop trucks, the products meet every supply chain’s specific needs. For this delivery, the vehicles were tailored and fine-tuned to suit operating conditions in the Philippines.

By offering its "Made in Vietnam" vehicles, the corporation continues to solidify its position as a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer and exporter in Southeast Asia.
