Changing global standards, bringing reliability to the world
Founded in 1916, Isuzu Motors has the longest history of any Japanese vehicle manufacturer. During our years of operation, we have consistently focused on "creation without compromise" in the process of building Isuzu into the company it is today. And now we are boldly taking up the challenge of global leadership in commercial vehicles and diesel engines while maintaining our traditions.
Commercial vehicles to move things and diesel engines to provide the power these are essential to support people's lives around the world. By expanding our operations across the globe from Japan, Isuzu products now benefit people in over 100 countries.
To ensure the most advanced safety, economic and environmental performance as well as superb service, we are moving forward in product development, quality, manufacturing systems and customer support, which will become the new global standards of excellence.
It is an uncompromising commitment to improvement for better products and a better partnership with the world.
We are Isuzu, a company that is striving to gain the trust of each every person around the world.

A World Class Manufacturer
Isuzu has had a good name in the diesel engine field for a long time and has built over 26 million diesels since its predecessor developed Japan's first air-cooled automotive diesel engine in 1936. The company's history is highly respected because of not only its length but also its abundant fruits in responding to ever-changing demands of the market as well as of society.
With its technological edge, Isuzu has kept setting the pace for the industry in developing fuel-efficient, low-emission and powerful diesels. As a result, Isuzu excelled over other companies in the introduction of a direct-injection system and turbocharger incorporated with an intercooler and electronically controlled common-rail high pressure fuel injection system.
If it were not for their excellent reliability and durability, Isuzu diesels could not be used at the Japanese base for the national expedition program in Antarctica, nor could OEM-basis supply of automotive and industrial models to other companies have increased.
Recently, diesel engines are attracting attention globally for their fuel efficiency and durability. Especially in Western Europe, diesel-powered passenger cars are recognized for their environmental friendliness and powerful performance. Even in USA, where diesels are not popular historically, public interest toward fuel efficient and clean diesels is growing.

The First Car Builders of Japan
The First Passenger Car Produced in JapanIsuzu's history can be traced back to its earliest antecedent company, Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Ltd., which was established in 1893. In 1916, this company diversified into car making and in 1918 started a passenger vehicle production venture in a tie-up with the British automaker Wolseley Motor Ltd. In 1922, Tokyo IshikawajimaShipbuilding & Engineering succeeded in localizing production of the Wolseley A9 - the first passenger car ever made in Japan.
This achievement was followed in 1924 by the completion of the first Japanese-built Wolseley CP 1.5-ton payload truck qualified as an official military truck by the Japanese government.
In 1927, Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding & Engineering ended its tie-up with Wolseley and began manufacturing the 100% localized vehicles of its own design. An early example was the "Sumida", developed in 1929, which was equipped with an A6 or an A4 engine and realized excellent power and fuel consumption.

The Origin of the Isuzu VehicleIn the same year that the "Sumida" appeared, the Car Department of Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding & Engineering was established as an independent company named Ishikawa Automotive Works Co., Ltd. In 1933, Ishikawa Automotive Works responded to growing demand for motor vehicles by launching the "Isuzu", a car named after the Isuzu River.

DA6 Diesel engine
The Roots of Isuzu DieselIn 1933, Ishikawa Automotive Works merged with DAT Automobile Manufacturing Inc. to establish a new company called Automobile Industries Co., Ltd. This company poured its energies into the development of diesel engines, a technology that had not yet been commercially established even in Europe and North America, and by 1936 the company had succeeded in developing two air-cooled diesel engine models. These early diesels were to serve as the foundation of all later generations of Isuzu diesel engines.

1941Changed name to Diesel Automobile Industry Co., Ltd.
The Establishment of Isuzu MotorsOn April 9, 1937, Automobile Industries merged with Tokyo Gas & Electric Co. to establish Tokyo Automobile Industries Co., Ltd. Isuzu regards this date as the foundation day of the present Isuzu Motors Ltd. In 1941, Tokyo Automobile Industries obtained authorization as an exclusively approved company for diesel vehicle production and changed its name to Diesel Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. The company then played the core role in the development of diesel engines in Japan. After the end of World War II, the water-cooled DA engine series developed during the war years were equipped in trucks for civil use in the postwar reconstruction effort. As a result of the widespread use of these vehicles, Isuzu became solidified in the public mind as a top diesel engine manufacturer in Japan.
In 1949, Diesel Automobile Industry underwent a final name change to become Isuzu Motors Ltd.

First Generation Model
The Isuzu ELF-A Best Selling Light-Duty TruckIn 1959, Isuzu launched the ELF, which holds the number-one share in the domestic light duty truck market today. Employing an original, easy-to-use cab-over style, the ELF immediately became the country's best-selling light-duty truck, a position it has continued to command ever since.

To meet Euro6(b) emission regulations, an optimum-sized engine is adopted based on simulations calculated for the most efficient fuel consumption and for securing the necessary torque. This engine achieves optimal vehicle performance.
Our aim is to create the new standard for pickup trucks, whose basic functionis to carry a maximum load efficiently, economically and reliably.
