A host of technology and advanced safety features have been added to the latest F Series models.

Among the innovations is an all-new 10.1-inch touch-screen audio-visual unit and another industry-leading, new vehicle 6-year warranty and roadside package.

Advanced safety features are introduced in 4×2 models powered by the four-cylinder N-4HK1 engine.

These include Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Distance Warning System (DWS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW).

Additionally, these models and the larger FTR and FV models, receive Electronic Stability Control (ESC), while Electronic Braking System is introduced to the four-cylinder FSR and FTR and FV models.

Improved night-time operation is provided through new LED headlamps for all FRR/D, FSR/D, FTR and FV models, while the entire range receives a safety boost with the introduction of cab-tilt warning.

In the cab, the four-cylinder 4×2 models also have a new instrument panel with 4.2-inch colour multi-info display and steering wheel controls.

Further highlights include an upgraded GCM of 21,000 kg for FSR, FTR and FTS models with the 6HK1 260PS engine.

Isuzu’s highly regarded aftermarket support is further bolstered with warranty upgrades across the range, featuring a 6-year standard warranty with much higher distance and engine hour limits than previous models, as well as a 6-year roadside assist package*.

Tailored solutions

The updates have been targeted at key market requirements. The introduction of active safety with ADAS to the volume 12 to 14 tonne GVM segment has helped match the operating environment. 

AV UPS THE ANTE

Isuzu’s new audio visual and multimedia unit, the MyIsuzu Co-Pilot, is a 10.1-inch touch-screen.

It was developed with Blaupunkt Asia Pacific with a design and user interface exclusive to Isuzu.

The new navigation system from HERE Navigation features smart updates for maps, live traffic with a mobile phone wifi connection and the requisite truck specific data and routing.

A new, digital low-light capable reversing camera furthers the smarts and safety of these models.

SAFETY SUITE

4×2 Models with the four-cylinder 4-NHK1 engine in the 11 to 14 tonne GVM range feature the full complement of Isuzu’s active safety suite.

The unit’s operating intelligence is gathered via a millimetre-wave radar and camera, monitoring and analysing the environment in front of the truck.

The technology approach has been adopted to cater for the types of applications and locations that these trucks operate in.

The combination radar and camera is well suited to both urban and regional usage, while the upgrade to full-air brakes in the FSR models provides improved braking response and faster acting electronic stability control.

All models, except 4x4s, now have new LED headlamps that feature LED position (parking) lamps and LED main beam lamps.

The high beam is still a halogen globe, however when combined with the LED main beam, coverage is superior.

The spread and intensity of the lights is a huge improvement on the previous halogen-only lamps, whether in low or high beam settings, plus they use less power overall.

The heavy-duty Isuzu FX and FY Series model ranges also receive a select series of updates, including the MyIsuzu Co-Pilot AV unit.

In common with the FV models, FX and FY ranges are upgraded with the new headlamp assembly, with low beam and position LED lamps, and halogen high beam and fog lamps.
