Fancy an EV D-Max? Isuzu starts looking into electrified pick-up trucks

Isuzu is looking to zap their vehicle line-up with electrification, as part of the company's further-reaching carbon-neturality strategies.

In their Mid-Term Business Plan 2024 Progress Report, the company disclosed that studies into electrified pick-up trucks have began - 'electrified' here meaning battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrids (HEV).

At the same time, the company is also looking into BEV Light Duty (LD, think pasar malam trucks), Medium Duty (MD, or delivery trucks), and Heavy Duty (HD, big trailers) trucks.

Of those, the Isuzu plans to start mass-producing BEV LDs beginning this year, part of the goal that is to see electrified variants of its major products in the 2030s.
