It’s official – Isuzu has introduced the official begin of manufacturing for its extremely anticipated new electrical cab and chassis, the Isuzu NRR-EV (and I’m tremendous enthusiastic about it).
I’ve been a fan of Isuzu’s medium responsibility cabover vehicles for greater than 20 years, and sometimes attempt to dream up causes to weasel one into the Borrás fleet. Primarily based on the corporate’s gross sales figures, I’m not alone – they’re best-selling low cab ahead vehicles in America.
As Isuzu’s first electrical truck, its manufacturing begin is being known as “a big milestone in Isuzu’s storied historical past,” and underscores the model’s dedication to sustainable transportation options that may present viable zero-emission choices for North America’s industrial fleets. And, identical to Isuzu’s diesel NRR, the truck could be up-fitted as a field van for center and closing mile deliveries, a dump physique for landscaping, and even as a sweeper (beneath) or rubbish truck.
In different phrases, the brand new Isuzu NRR-EV electrical is designed to be simply as versatile as its earlier gasoline and diesel fashions. Perhaps extra versatile, the truth is, when you think about that Isuzu’s intelligent modular battery design makes it doable to customized tailor the vehicles’ vary to completely go well with the wants of a given fleet.

Electrek’s Take
Isuzu’s N-series vehicles are all over the place – and for good cause. Their diesel vehicles have been reliable for many years. They’re inexpensive, they usually have a nationwide community of GM sellers supporting them. Inside, they’re uncluttered, and provide superior visibility. Add within the flexibility of modular battery building, the flexibility to make use of a lot of the trade’s current Isuzu upfit choices, and a “Made within the USA” label, and also you’ve acquired a truck that no fleet supervisor will ignore.
