ISUZU Trucks History

The debut step, made by representatives of the company, in the future called Isuzu, was the signing in 1918 of an agreement with the English company Wolseley Motors on the assembly of trucks by the Japanese under license from the British. Already four years later, in 1922, a truck of model A-9 was presented. And the first own development, made at the Ishikawajima Automotive Works corporation, representatives of the future Isuzu demonstrated in 1928. In 1933 Ishikawajima Automotive Works merged with another successful automotive company from Japan - Dot Automobile Manufacturing.

As a result of the transformation, the organization was named Automobile Industries. The following year became even more important for the formation of future success. Having received an order from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the company within its framework produced and produced the Isuzu model, named after one of the Japanese rivers. In the same year, the young corporation created a unit, which was to deal with research in the field of diesel engines. Three years later, after another restructuring, a new name for the company, Tokyo Automobile Industries, was determined. And in 1938 the first two trucks of the TX40 model came off the production line in Kawasaki (KAWASAKI Motorcycles Manuals PDF see here).

Already in 1941, Tokyo Automobile Industries received permission from the Japanese government to produce cars equipped with diesel power units, becoming the only such company throughout the country. In 1945, the postwar production of the TX40 truck was resumed, as well as active sales of the TU60. And in 1949 the company was renamed to Isuzu Motors Limited. The only negative factor was the separation of Hino Works, one of the parts of the corporation, and the subsequent foundation of the independent company Hino Heavy Industries in 1942.

In 1970, Isuzu Forward cargo models were introduced, as well as Isuzu Elf 350 (KS). One of the most important events in the history of Isuzu was the signing of an agreement on cooperation with the American automobile magnate General Motors, which in 1971 became the owner of 35% of the shares of the Japanese company. The results of joint labor did not take long. Already in 1974, the assembly line for a Gemini passenger car developed within the framework of cooperation between Isuzu and General Motors began. Over the next few years, the company's lineup was also updated.

1987 was a landmark in the history of the company in connection with the founding of the joint venture Isuzu Motors and General Motors, which was named IBC Vehicles. Two years later, the fruit of common labor was presented - the debut SUV MU (Amigo), which launched a new class of "heavy passenger cars". At the same time, a joint venture with Subaru was founded. In the same year 1989, Isuzu became the world leader in the production of medium and heavy trucks. After the successful development in 1990 of the world's first electromagnetic brake in cooperation with Sumitomo Metal Industries, a joint venture with Subaru launched a new model of the Rodeo off-road vehicle, which in early 1991 was already in the US.

After the introduction of new environmental standards in Japan in 2005, the very important step was the development of the Isuzu Giga truck, which became the first Japanese car in its class to meet these standards. After the dissolution of the alliance between Isuzu Motors and General Motors in 2006, these companies created a joint venture that is already preparing for the presentation its new products, which, according to the idea, will be pleasantly surprised the whole world.
