These units are specialty vehicle trucks, a utility truck for the delivery of relief goods and an animal control unit. Our strategy is to give it to the local towns so they can render faster service to the people.

Senator Win Gatchalian

A total of 61 units were turned over to Mayor Rex and Senator Win at the Valenzuela City Hall grounds. These vehicles comprise of 42 Tornado 4.4C Mini Dump Truck which will be used for multi-purpose operations, and 19 Gratour Midi Trucks for animal control programs.

The Foton Gratour MT which will be utilized for animal control is motivated by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that churns out 110 hp and 142 Nm of torque. Its motor is then paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Notably, the Gratour’s compact size allows it to pass through the small streets of barangays, plus, it also complies with the Euro 5 emission standards.

I believe we are again the first city in the country to have animal control units.
