Isuzu NRR EV electric medium duty truck is in production

It’s official – Isuzu has introduced the official begin of manufacturing for its extremely anticipated new electrical cab and chassis, the Isuzu NRR-EV (and I’m tremendous enthusiastic about it).

I’ve been a fan of Isuzu’s medium obligation cabover vans for greater than twenty years, and infrequently attempt to dream up causes to weasel one into the Borrás fleet. Based mostly on the corporate’s gross sales figures, I’m not alone – they’re best-selling low cab forward vans in America.

As Isuzu’s first electric truck, its manufacturing begin is being known as “a big milestone in Isuzu’s storied historical past,” and underscores the model’s dedication to sustainable transportation options that may present viable zero-emission choices for North America’s industrial fleets. And, similar to Isuzu’s diesel NRR, the truck will be up-fitted as a field van for middle and final mile deliveries, a dump physique for landscaping, and even as a sweeper (under) or rubbish truck.

In different phrases, the brand new Isuzu NRR-EV electrical is designed to be simply as versatile as its earlier fuel and diesel fashions. Perhaps extra versatile, actually, when you consider that Isuzu’s clever modular battery design makes it possible to custom tailor the trucks’ range to perfectly suit the needs of a given fleet.

“Isuzu groups abroad and right here in North America have labored tirelessly to convey the NRR-EV
from idea to actuality,” says Shaun Skinner, President of ICTA and ICTC. “Begin of manufacturing
marks a pivotal second for us. This car not solely showcases our technological prowess however
additionally our dedication to sustainability and innovation. We’re extremely excited to start out seeing
our EV on the street and within the arms of our clients.”

Electrek’s Take

Isuzu’s N-series vans are all over the place – and for good purpose. Their diesel vans have been reliable for many years. They’re reasonably priced, and so they have a nationwide community of GM sellers supporting them. Inside, they’re uncluttered, and supply superior visibility. Add within the flexibility of modular battery development, the power to make use of a lot of the business’s current Isuzu upfit choices, and a “Made within the USA” label, and also you’ve received a truck that no fleet supervisor will ignore.
