9th PIMS: Isuzu PH unveils electrified N-Series concept

MANILA: In its bid to showcase “green mobility solutions”, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) previewed the electrified concept version of the N-Series light-duty truck.

According to IPC President Tetsuya Fujita, the Isuzu N-Series EV Concept Truck provides new business solutions in a carbon-neutral way.

Features

Powering the Isuzu N-Series EV Concept Truck is an HP11 electric motor that has a peak churn 121 horses (hp) and 370 Newton-meters (Nm).

Its 40-kilowatt-hour battery (equipped with Type 1 and CHAdeMO charging options) allows the vehicle to cover 115 kilometers.

 “What sets the N-Series EV apart is our holistic approach to supporting our customers' carbon-neutral goals. Through our EVISION Plan, we offer a Total Solution Program—assessing customer operational needs, providing optimal charging schedules, recommending the best chargers, and offering fleet management support,” Fujita said.

“Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition to electric vehicles without sacrificing performance or efficiency,” the official added.

Other logistic solutions

Meanwhile, IPC also revealed other commercial vehicle offerings namely the Isuzu Traviz Concept Cargo Van and the new Isuzu EW5 Tractor Head.

An ideal solution for logistics and last-mile delivery businesses, the Isuzu Traviz Concept Cargo Van has the capacity to haul as much as 1,660 kilograms of gross payload.

Meanwhile, the heavy-duty truck features the GH11E EURO V mill that delivers 409 hp and 1,990 Nm. Paired with a 12-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), the tractor head is expected to be a dominant force in the segment.
