HISTORY OF ISUZU
HISTORY OF
ISUZU
MORE THAN 1OO-YEAR LONG HISTORY
The purpose of transportation is to connect people, and we at ISUZU pride ourselves in doing beyond that.
In the past, ships were the best way to transport large amounts of goods and people. In fact, the history of ISUZU dates back to a shipyard established by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1853. Water transportation inevitably shifted towards that of land and the shipyard began, in 1916, to plan the manufacture of automobiles. This was the foundation of ISUZU.
ISUZU’s grand heritage includes the manufacture of Japan’s first passenger car, the A9 in 1922, the first truck, the CP in 1924, and the first air-cooled diesel engines, the DA4 and DA6 in 1936.
ISUZU was first used as the name of the TX trucks and the BX bus in 1934. It is also the name of the holy river that flows through ISE Grand Shrine, the oldest and most important shrine in Japan. ISUZU was adopted as the company name in 1949.
ISUZU has supported logistics and mobility for connecting people’s lives from the outset. Our products have widely been used in more than 120 countries around the world including on the vast Middle East.

ISUZU ENGINES
- Bottom-end torque is important for commercial vehicle engines. To this end, ISUZU has ensured that our engines have superior torque from low engine speeds, allowing for easy pull away and low speed driving under load. Drivers of ISUZU TRUCKS will immediately notice how easy our vehicles are to drive, the first time they engage the clutch.
- Peak power is also important for highway cruisers. ISUZU TRUCKS have great acceleration in a highway-speed range.
- Having a wide range of engines for our Saudi customers is important. We have both large displacement mechanical pump engines and smaller displacement common rail turbo engines available to meet customer’s needs.

ISUZU DURABILITY
Our philosophy of “Best Balanced Reinforcement for the Middle East Region” ensures that ISUZU owners in Middle East remain ISUZU owners for life. Only an ISUZU driver knows the true story of ISUZU durability in the Middle East. ISUZU. Made for the Middle East.
Successful truck design is not as easy as it may seem. Ensuring that individual elements and components such as the axles, chassis and propeller shafts are strong and sturdy is only the beginning. It is more important to arrive at the perfect balance of all the different components. When attempting to optimize the durability of a truck, one cannot simply strengthen one element, or in fact the whole truck, these solutions will result in decreased carrying capacity. The key is to find the correct balance of the combination of all the components of the truck.

VEHICLE STATIC PERFORMANCE
ISUZU TRUCKS are designed to have a Gross Axle Weight (GAW) greater than a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). This is one of the many reasons they can run many hundreds of thousands of kilometers. We pay the utmost attention to safety when we design our products. We like to keep our vehicles on the road at all times to ensure maximum productivity. ISUZU TRUCKS may have a high initial outlay, but when you consider their durability, quality, and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), they make more economic sense in the long run.
