With a power output of 154 hp at 2,600 rpm and maximum torque of 500 Nm at 1,200-1,900 rpm, it gives optimum fire power for optimum service.
Enhanced by modern technology, the F-Jeepney F29 exceeds modern transportation requirements.

F29’s compliance with Philippine National Standard for public utility vehicles guarantees impeccable safety.
FOTON F-Jeepney F24 is the next in line. Powered by globally known ISF 2.8 Cummins engine, it boasts long-lasting power and spacious interiors capable of transporting up to 24 passengers. It has a strong power output of 117 hp at 3,200 rpm and maximum torque of 260 Nm at 3200 rpm. The F-Jeepney F24 takes comfort to new heights with its cushioned seats and air-conditioning system.
FOTON F-Jeepney series also offers a variant that is lighter and more agile version of its robust counterparts. The 11-seater FOTON F-Jeepney F11 presents a smooth drive in tight city streets with its lightweight and aerodynamic design. Don’t let a measly 2.2-liter diesel engine fool you. A power of 87 hp at 3,200 rpm and maximum torque of 220 Nm at 2,220 rpm makes it as dependable as ever.
