The Isuzu D-MAX known globally for its durability, reliability and fuel efficiency will now be available in two new variants meeting the specific requirements of customers in the pick-up segment. Isuzu Motors India Private Ltd., currently selling the Isuzu D-MAX in India, has expanded its D-MAX range with air-conditioned and cab-chassis variants.
The Isuzu D-MAX single cab flat deck will now be available with a factory-built air-conditioned variant to offer the D-MAX customers more comfort and a fatigue-free driving experience. In a tropical country like India, an air-conditioned vehicle helps reduce fatigue and increase productivity.
The Cab-Chassis variant will fulfil the needs of customers operating vehicles across various businesses such as food & catering, perishables, hardware, FMCG, etc. Such customers will now have the flexibility to construct their own load-bodies suiting their business requirements. This variant will be available in the Isuzu D-MAX Single Cab model. Further the D-MAX is the most suitable vehicle for Cold-Chain applications due to its higher power and other features.
Again in India where temperatures are usually above 25 degrees in most places and most part of the year, there is greater need for a highly efficient refrigerated pick-up. Efficiency improves performance and reduces wastage, and the Isuzu D-Max scores over the rest with great advantage.
Speaking about the new variants, Mr. Naohiro Yamaguchi, Managing Director, Isuzu Motors India, observed: “With the roll-out of these new Isuzu D-MAX variants, we are offering our customers a comprehensive range of options to choose from, meeting the specific requirements of different businesses. Under the harsh heat and tiring conditions in India, customers look for comfort features that enhance productivity while reducing fatigue, even for their drivers. The D-MAX with air-conditioning will be the perfect choice. On the other hand, the Cab-Chassis variant is a perfect partner that provides customers the flexibility to choose their load-body configuration and maximize value. This is an important development and an extension of our product offering in the pick-up segment, enabling customers to ‘Go More, Do More and Get More’.”
