Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), has strengthened its longtime partnership with one of the largest provincial bus companies in the country, Victory Liner, Inc. (VLI). HARI recently delivered 50 brand-new Hyundai Universe buses as part of the bus company’s upgrading program.

Hyundai Universe is powered by a 12.3-liter Euro 4-compliant diesel engine making 380 horsepower. Moreover, it is designed for better fuel efficiency resulting to maximized business profits and cleaner emissions. The Universe features a 49+1 seating capacity.
