The Foton Transvan E (13 and 15 seater) (2022) is a rugged, no-frills people mover built for Philippine roads, offering exceptional seating capacity and proven diesel reliability at a compelling price point. This body-on-frame van is designed to handle heavy loads and daily routes with confidence.

Under the hood, the Transvan E is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 diesel engine (1,968cc) with a DOHC 16-valve valvetrain, delivering 135 PS and 330 Nm of torque. Coupled with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this powertrain provides ample low-end grunt for fully loaded trips, while the 65-liter fuel tank supports long-distance operations.

Key Highlights

  • Spacious 13 to 15-seat configuration with fabric seats and manual air conditioning, ideal for family shuttles, transport services, or group travel.
  • Standard safety essentials include anti-lock braking (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), plus central locking for basic security.
  • Practical connectivity with Bluetooth, USB, AUX input, AM/FM radio, and MP3 playback via two speakers.
  • Generous warranty coverage of 5 years or 150,000 kilometers, offering peace of mind for high-mileage use.
  • Available in three exterior colors – White, Silver, and Black – to suit fleet or personal preferences.

At a price in the Philippines of ₱1,290,000, the Foton Transvan E (13 and 15 seater) (2022) is a sensible choice for operators and families who prioritize passenger capacity, diesel efficiency, and straightforward mechanicals over luxury features.
