Whats Been Happening at Isuzu Trucks Lately

Consumers seeking Isuzu trucks for sale will be pleased to learn of the company's latest news. On July 9, 2010, Isuzu announced that they have begun producing the first low-cab-forward medium duty diesel engines. This will be the first arrival of this type of engine on the market.Designed to meet even the most strict environmental emission standards, the new engine is expected to increase sales among the 2011 N-Series trucks, which will include these new engines. The three strictest criteria which the N-Series trucks will meet are: the United States 2010 Environmental Protection Agency's Emission Standards, the Clean Idle certification and the California Air Resources Board. Expected to arrive in the United States in August 2010, the ECO-MAX LCF trucks will increase fuel economy up to 20%, also including the capability for increased payload capacity for the ECO-MAX LCF model. Isuzu's new ECO-MAX LCF model also boasts 12,000 pounds GVWR.Also in the N-Series, the ECO-MAX is arriving soon to be released with 2011 models, full of advantageous features. With a 4JJ1-TC next generation diesel engine, this model also has a B10 engine life expectancy of 310,000 miles. This is the first time the engine type will be released in the United States; previously this 4J engine has only been included in foreign models since 1984. This model features 150 horsepower and 282 pounds per foot of torque and a 4-cylinder turbo charged 3.0 L engine. With 6-speed auto transmission, lockup PTO and double overdrive, the ECO MAX is certainly an impressive and environmentally safe choice. When the truck requires service, the cab is conveniently designed to tilt. Isuzu expects that drivers who purchase this model will see less downtime, as well as an increase in fuel efficiency and payload capacity.Three additional models in the 2011 N-Series to be released are: NQR, NPR-HD and NRR. The NQR is 17,950 pounds GVWR, the NPR-HD is 14,500 pounds GVWR and the NRR is 19,500 pounds GVWR. In these models is an improved revision of the 2005 5.2 L 4HK1-TC engine. With 175 - 190 HP in the manual option and 205 - 210 HP in the automatic option, there is a sufficient hike in output power. Both environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, these engines easily meet the standards set by EPA 2010, HD-ODB and CARB. An increase of 8% in fuel economy is an added plus to this package.While maintaining their reputation for producing trucks that excel in environmental efficiency, Isuzu has certainly met and exceeded demands with their new lineup of N-Series trucks for 2011. Drivers should see less maintenance, a longer engine life with less chance of early overhaul needed, much more fuel efficiency and an increased payload capacity; meanwhile the trucks maintain their power. With the increased necessity for "green" engines, Isuzu's new engine will make an impact on reduction of environmental toxins.
