Indeed the brand is now so serious that a new 12-15-ton ner is expected to flex its muscle at the CV Show in April. Now occupying a purpose-designed HQ, lsuzu has built on a reputation for unrivalled customer care and is rolling out a product line-up to match.
Available at 3.5 tonnes (NKR), 5.0/6.2 tonnes (NPR) and 7.5 tonnes (NOR), what makes it stand out is the inclusion of the standard automated transmission (Easyshift).
This opens it up to novices and parttime drivers alike who don't want to be overwhelmed when occasionally in the driving seat—and it works well too. complementing the Isuzu's forgiving nature.
