New Isuzu N Series ‘around the corner’

With 2021 already on track to challenge 2018’s all-time record for truck purchases, the market is set to get even hotter yet thanks to an imminent new release from Isuzu Trucks.

According to Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) National Sales Manager, Mr Les Spaltman the new release of the top-selling light-duty N Series model will feature industry-setting safety benchmarks; and it’s just around the corner.

“It may appear business as usual on the surface, but for Isuzu Trucks it has been a hive of activity underneath with brand-new product ready for imminent launch.

“If a proverbial fire has been lit under the Australian market in this first six months of operations in 2021, then we cannot wait to see what the rest of the year has in store,” Spaltman said.

He added that Isuzu’s order banks continue to mount with a 16 per cent year-on-year rise in total units sold year to date.

“It is certainly shaping up to be an impressive year for truck sales, well ahead of figures from 2020 and 2019, and not far off the record of three years ago,” said Spaltman.

No doubt seeing what the opposition is offering, Isuzu says that it’s new N Series will give customers the most compelling light-duty package to ever hit the Australian market.

“The new N series will set a new benchmark for the light-duty truck segment and prove once again that our customers can trust us to bring the best product to market,” said Spaltman.

“Our message is this: the best is about to get even better. The next generation of safety is coming with our new N Series,” Spaltman said.

First introduced to the Australian market in 1984, the N Series’ attractive payload-to-power ratio and clever engineering immediately resonated with businesses requiring work-hard, work-smart trucks, and have ever since.

This history of matching businesses with fit-for-purpose product is far from over, noted Spaltman.

Australia’s favourite truck brand is proven performer over three decades, with a reputation for delivering the industry’s best across trades, construction, freight and logistics, off-road applications, and waste and council services, to name a few.

“Remaining at the top of a highly competitive market over 30 years has required not only a laser focus on product and customer but a nuanced reading of market conditions, no easy feat in the current state of play,” said Spaltman.

Isuzu maintains its historically steady position, leading the market with 23.8 per cent of overall share in 2021 and showing strong performances in the medium- and heavy-duty segments with 1546 units and 1414 units sold respectively year-to-date.
