Isuzu Reveals Debut of Initial D-MAX BEV Pickup Truck

Tokyo, Japan- Isuzu Motors Limited., is set to introduce its inaugural battery electric vehicle (BEV), the D-MAX one-ton pickup truck, to the public at the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show. Scheduled from March 27 to April 7 in Bangkok, Thailand, this unveiling marks a significant milestone for Isuzu.

The D-MAX BEV represents a fusion of Isuzu's renowned toughness with the environmental advantages of electric propulsion. Designed to cater to both commercial and passenger vehicle needs, this innovative truck boasts a full-time 4WD system equipped with newly developed e-Axles in the front and rear. This setup ensures exceptional performance on rough terrain while delivering the smooth, linear acceleration characteristic of BEVs. Moreover, Isuzu has prioritized minimizing noise and vibration for enhanced comfort.

In terms of towing capacity, the D-MAX BEV doesn't compromise. By harnessing high-power electric motors and combining them with a sturdy frame and body design, Isuzu has ensured that this electric variant performs on par with its diesel counterparts.

Recognizing the diverse applications for pickup trucks, Isuzu introduces the D-MAX BEV as an alternative power source. Initially launching in select mainland European markets such as Norway in 2025, Isuzu plans to expand its availability to the UK, Australia, Thailand, and other countries as per market demands and the maturity of EV charging infrastructure.

The Isuzu Group's commitment to a carbon-neutral world is evident through initiatives like the development of CN vehicles. By enriching people's lives with sustainable transportation solutions, Isuzu aims to contribute significantly to a cleaner, greener future.
