Isuzu introduces D-Max air-conditioned, cab-chassis variants

Isuzu has announced that the D-Max pick-up truck will now be available in two new variants -

• D-Max Single Cab Flat Deck air-conditioned
• D-Max Cab-Chassis

The Isuzu D-MAX Single Cab Flat Deck will now be available with a factory fitted air-conditioner unit. This step is expected to reduce drive fatigue and increase productivity.

The D-Max will now also be sold in a cab-chassis variant. This version is expected to allow customers the flexibility to construct their own load-bodies suitable for their business requirements. This variant will be available in the Isuzu D-MAX Single Cab model.

The Isuzu D-Max is built on a heavy-duty chassis and cab made from high-tensile steel. The front and rear suspension have independent coil springs and rigid leaf springs respectively. The vehicle is powered by a 2,499cc, 4-cylinder diesel engine that puts out 134 BHP @ 3,600 rpm and 294 Nm of torque @ 1,800-3,200 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The vehicle is built for commercial use in industries like agriculture, retail, dairy, engineering, manufacturing and small businesses.

At present, Isuzu has 20 dealership facilities, located at Delhi, Noida, Jaipur, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Madurai, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, Cochin, Calicut, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Ludhiana, Lucknow, Gurgaon, Indore and Vadodara. It plans to expand its dealer network to 60 outlets across India by end of 2015-16.
