Four dominant themes underpinned Isuzu’s overarching approach to future product development - carbon neutrality, driver comfort, safety and connectivity that the company says signals a brave new era of transportation for the brand and its customers.

Isuzu Australia’s Director and Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Harbison attended the event.

He said the Expo provided a rare insight into the cutting-edge of world transportation technology.  

‘Our industry is in the midst of unprecedented change. From the very fundamentals of the way in which we do business, to evolving environmental and societal expectations it's clear an industry transition is well and truly upon us,’ he said.

An overarching theme of the Isuzu/ UD Trucks showcase was the Isuzu Group’s long-term goal of creating environmentally responsible transport that can drive both economic growth as well as positive environmental outcomes.

Mr Harbison said an unapologetically holistic approach to technological development is being pursued.    

A significant part of this approach is the ‘Isuzu Modular Architecture and Component Standard (I-MACS)’ - a new approach to product development that allows the combination of various components, parts and devices to be applied in light of future tech advancement and the expansion of vehicle types.

Breaking with the convention of developing model-specific parts, I-MACS has been able to realise an all-new Isuzu line-up that meets the diverse needs of customers around the world, now and into the future.
