About the company
The purpose of transportation is to connect people, and at Isuzu, we pride ourselves on going beyond that. In the past, ships were the best means for transporting large quantities of goods and people. In fact, Isuzu's history dates back to the shipyard established by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1853. It began, in 1916, planning the manufacturing of vehicles. This was the foundation of Isuzu. Isuzu's great heritage includes the production of Japan's first passenger vehicle, the A9 in 1922, the first truck, the CP in 1924, and the first air-cooled diesel engines, the DA4 and DA6 in 1936. "Isuzu" was first used as the name for TX trucks and BX buses in 1934. It is also the name of the sacred river that flows through the Ise Grand Shrine, the oldest and most important shrine in Japan. Isuzu was adopted as the company name in 1949. Isuzu has supported logistics and mobility to connect people's lives from the very beginning. Our products have been widely used in over 120 countries around the world, including the vast Middle East region.
