Established in Negros Oriental in 1974, RUSCO MOTORS, INC. was initially a pioneering venture that addressed the growing need for effective transportation facilities in the province, as well as the rising demand for quality vehicles that could help further the growth of agricultural industries.

As it grew into a trustworthy enterprise committed to client satisfaction, the company became one of the first in the region to offer multipurpose vehicles (both brand new and used surplus), while providing repair and maintenance services through easy payment plans.

This humble gesture of goodwill and confidence towards its customers eventually evolved into a social commitment that continues to remain at the heart of the company’s operations. For instance, in order to further assist its clients in vehicle acquisition, RUSCO MOTORS, INC. offers to facilitate loans at low interest rates with reasonable financing requirements and an assurance of quick release of funds.
