Isuzu Motors Limited
Japan
CV/LCV: Assuring an advantageous position
in growth markets worldwide.
Overseas shipments post a record.
At a Glance
In addition to actively investing resources in building a manufacturing system centered on the ASEAN region, China and India, Isuzu
Motors is working to expand sales in fast-growing emerging markets and to stabilize and streamline its businesses in developed markets.
Shipments of CVs and LCVs during FY2013 increased 122,000 units (21%) from the previous year to 690,000 units as overseas
shipments of CVs (Commercial Vehicles) and LCVs (pickup trucks and derivatives) reached record levels.
Asia
l Building on the effects of
government subsidies for
environment-friendly vehicles,
demand continued to grow as a
result of reconstruction efforts
following the Great East Japan
Earthquake. The Group has actively
launched products with exceptional
environmental performance,
including the trucks and buses in its
Isuzu Eco Series, which have been
certified as low-emissions vehicles
under Japan’s 2009 standards.
l Demand in the Thai market
was up significantly due to the
popularity of the new D-MAX,
as well as a number of economic
stimulus measures put in place
by the government. The start of
operations at Isuzu’s new plant in
October 2012 helped the company
keep pace with a dramatic increase
in sales volume.
l Demand also increased in
Indonesia. Going forward, Isuzu
will continue to seek to expand its
market share in the country.
