Isuzu in Figures
Powertrains
Isuzu powertrains have come
to symbolize unsurpassed quality.
Diesel emits less CO2 than gaso-
line-powered engines and offers
excellent fuel economy. Diesel en-
gines account for a growing share
of the automotive market in Europe,
and Isuzu engines are used in GM
pickup and other trucks in the U.S.
and Opel, and Renault vehicles in
Europe.
Pickup Trucks, AUVs and SUVs
Isuzu pickups are top sellers in
many countries and regions. The
Isuzu D-MAX pickup is the uncon-
tested market leader in Thailand,
where Isuzu has a 37% market
share. Isuzu closed its SUV manu-
facturing operation in the U.S. in
July 2004, but introduced the new
MU-7 manufactured in Thailand in
November.
Buses
Isuzu’s ERGA and ERGA Mio
buses are powered by fuel-effi-
cient, low-emission Isuzu diesel
engines, with CNG power plants
on some models. Our buses com-
ply with the latest, stringent emis-
sions regulations as well as meet-
ing tough European standards for
vehicle rollover performance. The
Isuzu GALA HD-9 large sightseeing
bus underwent a full model change
in February 2006 and now complies
with Japan’s new long-term emis-
sions regulations.
around the world. Isuzu’s medium-term goal is sustained earnings growth
by expanding our overseas operations, with a consolidated sales target of
¥1.6 trillion in the year ended March 2008.
