PETALING JAYA: Isuzu D-Max owners displayed their patriotic spirit when they participated in the Isuzu Merdeka Convoy as part of the company’s initiative to celebrate Malaysia’s 67th independence day.
Some 3,300 participants using 900 Isuzu D-Max gathered at 36 Isuzu outlets around the country from Alor Setar to Keningau before heading out on their respective convoys to points of interest within their region.
Various activities were organised for participants to enjoy their Merdeka celebrations including durian fests, white water rafting, glamping, treasure hunts, picnics and many more.
The Isuzu Merdeka Convoy this year follows through on the success of the Merdeka Convoy 66 held last year that was graced by some 600 Isuzu D-Max vehicles.
As the largest ever simultaneous parade of Isuzu D-Max in the country, the convoy sought to bring owners together to celebrate the historical date in the country’s history.
“Through the success of the Merdeka Convoy 66, owners have voiced their satisfaction and eagerness to participate in similar outings that develop camaraderie among Isuzu D-Max owners hence we hope to continue developing such activities for our owners,” said Isuzu Malaysia CEO Shunsuke Okazoe.
Okazoe said this when he flagged off the convoy at the Indah Utara outlet in Alor Setar, Kedah where participants in 80 Isuzu D-Max headed out to the Tasoh Lake Resort in Perlis to enjoy the drive and a day filled with fun activities.
