Isuzu Motors and UD Trucks have announced the joint development of new GIGA and Quon heavy-duty tractor models for the Japanese market. The new tractor models are the first jointly developed products by UD Trucks and Isuzu since UD Trucks joined the Isuzu Group in April 2021.
Through this joint development, Isuzu and UD Trucks have brought together technologies from both companies to realize higher load capacity by downsizing the engine, better drivability and expanded safety features. These efforts are aimed at addressing challenges faced by the industry, such as relieving driver shortages and improving the working conditions of drivers.
The companies are continuing to strengthen collaboration initiatives, such as the shared use of domestic and overseas parts warehouses, joint delivery and purchase of spare parts, and the opening of a joint office in Singapore with the aim of strengthening the overseas business.
