The homegrown entrepreneur, who operates a logistics business with her husband, was pleasantly surpised by the rewarding outcome that resulted from her decision to purchase their first Fuso truck nine months ago.
“The nature of our business involves us transporting goods based on rental services. We need our trucks to be in working order at all times and this is why we were convinced by Fuso’s track record,” said Noraini.
“Keeping our trucks working smoothly is important to help us meet our customers’ needs, and in turn help grow our business. We decided to go for a Fuso truck because it gave us value for money and we believe the after-sales service is very reliable,” said Noraini.

The first, second, third and fourth prize winners each took home an all-expenses paid trip to Japan, which includes a visit to the Fuso Kawasaki Plant and Research & Development Center, as well as service vouchers worth RM5,000, RM4,000, RM3,000 and RM2,000 respectively.
