At a brief but significant ceremony held on Thursday 3rd April 2025, at the TDC Automotive Division on St. Kitts, Mr. Duran Merchant, the Sales and Service Manager handed over the keys to the brand-new Toyota HZB50 Mobility Coaster Bus to the Honourable Isalean Phillip, the Minister of Youth Empowerment, Ageing and Disabilities et al, the Honourable Geoffrey Hanley, Ministry of Education and His Excellency Michael Chau Horng Lin, Ambassador the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the donor agency.

In making his presentation, Mr. Merchant spoke about TDC Automotive Division’s role in the process of procuring the vehicle valued at EC$460,000, and its commitment to providing vehicles for all.

“We believe in driving progress, not just through vehicles, but through partnerships (with the Taiwanese Embassy) that create meaningful change. We’re honoured to contribute to such a worthy cause and to support the Ministry in meeting the transportation needs of our people. This fully customized vehicle was sourced and delivered through the coordination of our sales team, who worked closely with our corporate partner, TOYOTA, to ensure the bus met the unique needs and specifications required for accessibility, comfort, and safety.”

He also highlighted some of the Mobility Coaster Bus, which include power steering, front and rear fog lamps, automatic passenger door, fire extinguishers, ten (10) seats equipped with seat belts (plus 4 wheelchairs and anchors), wheelchair loading door, handrails, auto passenger doorstep, and curtains.

In response, Minister Phillip gave an overview of the journey to procure the vehicle and expressed her appreciation to all the stakeholders for their efforts in making the vision a reality and how the vehicle will benefit the Ministry’s agenda.

“This request was made since last year, just nine months ago. The discussions to get this bus have been ongoing long before that and through the advocacy and work of our Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Geoffrey Hanley, on his visit to Taiwan in 2024. This bus is customized and specialized and intends to support and expand the scope of work of our Ministry by allowing us more flexibility to transport our clients in relation to the Ministry’s programmes. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those for making this possible.”

Immediately following the handover of the keys, the ministers, ambassador, and representatives from the two ministries were given a demonstration of the features and a short tour through the industrial site.

The private and public sector partnership underscores TDC’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and community development, as the company continues to play an active role in national advancement.

A diverse group of women took center stage at the TDC Automotive Divisions in St. Kitts and Nevis, for the retail stores’ Women’s Car Care Clinic, a unique event designed to empower women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to better understand and care for their vehicles.

The clinic, held at the C A Paul Southwell Industrial Park, and Pinney’s Industrial Estate saw over thirty women come together on Saturday 15th and 22nd March 2025, to create an engaging and educational experience focused on basic vehicle maintenance, safety, and general upkeep.

The event featured a series of hands-on and informative sessions led by TDC Automotive Service Professionals, covering essential topics such as oil changes, tyre maintenance, brake inspections, battery care, and troubleshooting common car issues.

“We’re excited to host this Women’s Car Care Clinic as part of our ongoing commitment to educate and empower women in all aspects of automotive knowledge. The clinics are not just about car repairs; it’s about breaking down barriers and building confidence in women, giving them the tools they need to feel empowered and independent when it comes to their vehicles,” said Mr. Duran Merchant, the St. Kitts based Sales and Service Manager.

He added, “The automotive industry has so much potential for women, and events like this are a step toward creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce. Our goal is to inspire more women to also explore careers in automotive fields and ensure they feel welcome and capable in any situation involving cars. Our aim is to continue fostering a culture of learning, through empowerment, by using knowledge and innovation within the automotive industry.

The attendees were highly engaged, asking questions, and actively participated in hands-on demonstrations, and left with a deeper understanding of their cars and how to keep them running smoothly.

In addition to the sessions, the retail stores also highlighted the importance of creating a supportive, inclusive environment for women in the traditionally male-dominated automotive sector. As part of this initiative, the clinic aimed to also raise awareness of career opportunities for women in automotive technology.

The Women’s Car Care Clinic now in its third year has received enthusiastic support from attendees. Discussions are already underway with the respective management teams to host the event biannually based on the overwhelming responses and success.
