Isuzu delivers 200,000th truck
Isuzu Australia Limited recently handed over the keys to its 200,000th vehicleIsuzu has passed another major milestone in Australia, with the truck brand recently delivering its 200,000th vehicle – an FYJ 2000 agitator – in Melbourne this week.
The agitator was handed over to construction materials giant Hanson, where it will go to work alongside many other examples of the popular model.
Hanson's General Manager of Logistics, Scott Tipping, congratulated Isuzu on the achievement and underlined the importance of the ongoing relationship between the two industry heavyweights.
"It's a massive accomplishment and it's a real reflection of Isuzu's standing and prominence within the Australian truck market.
"To roll out 200,000 trucks you need to have a product that people want to keep buying and a reputation people want to be a part of.
"For us, serving our own customers is extremely important and to achieve that, we need to have a reliable fleet – Isuzu's trucks have certainly ticked that box for us."
IAL National Sales Manager, Les Spaltman, said Isuzu was delighted to deliver the milestone truck to one of its most valued partners.
"Everyone at Hanson has been great to deal with over the journey and its fitting that we're handing over one of our brand new FYJ 2000 Agitators as IAL's 200,000th truck sold," he said.
Isuzu's FY Series arrived in 2012 with the release of the FYJ 2000, FYH 2000 and FYX 2500, and boasts two Meritor steer axles with a group capacity of 13,200kg and GVMs spanning 30,000kg to 35,000kg.

The FYJ 2000 agitator has become Hanson's first choice in recent years, says Scott Tipping.
"The primary mode of transport across Hanson's concrete operations is the twin-steer agitator trucks and for the last couple of years Isuzu has been the sole supplier of those vehicles to Hanson," he said.
"We simply can't have trucks off the road, and we have a demanding customer base buying a perishable product, so reliability is absolutely critical to us.
"If you look at the specific features of the FYJ, the reliability is a standout compared with previous trucks we've had in that application. They are extremely reliable trucks."
