Isuzu Australia will be back at AFAC '23

Joining experts from all areas of the fire and emergency service fields, IAL will showcase a key selection of products from Isuzu Trucks and Isuzu Power Solutions (IPS).

This year’s AFAC theme is based around the challenges and opportunities of creating a sustainable future and how Australian emergency services will evolve in response to a changing landscape, climate, and technology.

IAL National Sales Manager, Craig White, said reliability of equipment continues to be a priority in this essential line of work.

“Reliability of equipment and transportation in an emergency response situation is a critical factor, it just can’t let our crews down when they need it,” Mr White commented.

“We will be showing a range of Isuzu products including a fully operational fire truck model that is already assisting emergency response teams around the country.”

As expected from Australia’s truck market leader, Isuzu is bringing a range of products specified for the sector to AFAC23.

A fully operational FTS 139-260 4x4 Auto Crew tanker will be taking centre stage, giving attendees the opportunity to touch, feel and explore. This joins an NPS 75/45-155 4x4 Crew Rescue Truck built for the Victorian State Emergency Service to transport team members and equipment to rescue events in remote or difficult locations.

Isuzu Power Solutions will be showing a 3CA1 Power Unit and a 20kVA GS020-PTY generator set from its range of off-road power products, upholding the brand’s motto of ‘reliability that never stops’.

“Over the past few years IPS has been working very hard to develop the quietest, most compact engines to support our partners in Australian industry,” said Mr White.

“We are extremely pleased to bring these models to the attention of the emergency services sector through AFAC and believe that the ongoing refinements to these products will be welcomed.”

The vertical water-cooled diesel 3CA1 Power Unit is well-matched for truck-mounted pumping duties with a heavy-duty cooling system (specified for up to 50°C on premium models) and air cleaner with flame retardant element which makes it ideal for use on emergency service vehicles.

Visitors to the stand will be able to view the engine up close with the benefit of expert IPS personnel on hand to answer queries about specifications or suitability for application.

IPS customer GAAM, which specialises in designing fire suppression pumps and complete systems, will also be exhibiting IPS product, making for an excellent opportunity to see how Isuzu’s engine and power unit range can be utilised for emergency response equipment.

Isuzu Australia Limited will be at stand number 468 during AFAC 2023, which will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from August 22 to August 25.
