Isuzu to debut at Sydney Build Expo

This year will mark the first year that Isuzu will be in attendance and as the market leader in the Australian truck market, it’s expected that they will make a splash. After a few years of back-to-back record sales, Isuzu is keen to get out and show people exactly what it is that has made its trucks so popular with Australian tradies.

Isuzu will be exhibiting the ready to work range, one ideally suited for the largely trade-focused audience that the event typically attracts.

Isuzu says that many business owners will face the question of ‘truck or ute?’ when it comes to kitting out their business in the most practical way, and Isuzu has done the research to help answer that question with the conclusion of the future of trucking report.

Accommodating almost every trade application imaginable, Isuzu’s RTW line-up covers all bases, resulting in a range of trucks and trade-specific bodies optimised in every aspect to suit the needs of the ambitious tradesperson.

With many models able to be driven on a car drivers’ licence (up to 4500 kg GVM), and featuring clever, two-pedal transmissions, they are just as easy to drive as the daily commuter; with the added bonus of being safer for the business as well as being more productive.

On the topic of safety, businesses large and small can all expect to hear much more about the Chain of Responsibility (CoR).

The road transport industry is placing a greater focus on the CoR and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is doubling down on efforts to prosecute breaches of legislation governing this.

This poses a significant threat to many businesses though studies shows that small fleets are in a particularly vulnerable position. As per Isuzu’s Future of Trucking report, 35 per cent of small fleets are completely unprepared for, or unaware of their CoR requirements.

With many Trucks able to be driven on a standard passenger car licence, they can even be operated by someone on their probationary plates. This is often a revelation for ute owners who can now send apprentices, and anyone else, off on the Bunnings run.

Isuzu tells us that the stand this year will be a one-stop shop to find all the info you need about the Ready to Work range and Isuzu as a whole.

Also appearing at the stand will be the one-of-a-kind Isuzu N-Series truck that has been modified for the Gotcha4life Mental Fitness Foundation. This truck has been a boon for the foundation as they drive their message across rural Australia.

There will be plenty of details about the amazing giveaway Isuzu is doing this year. One lucky winner will walk away with a brand new Ready to Work truck along with a further $10,000 worth of vouchers and extras to make sure you’re ready for anything.
