When it comes to moving industries, Isuzu has one of the longest-running histories in the Philippine market. For over 22 consecutive years, the brand has proven itself as the number one truck brand in the country, providing some of the most innovative, durable, and reliable transport solutions that are designed to be part of growing Filipino companies. With the evolving business climate, Isuzu has continued to develop new products to complement the fast-paced changes that are forecast to happen. One such product is the Isuzu N-Series Smoother, the brand’s first light duty truck equipped with an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT).
The Isuzu N-Series Smoother is made for the modern-day entrepreneur. For such kind of business owners, everything is a priority, from setting directions, generating revenue, to putting together the best logistical team that would support the demands of the company’s daily operations. Likewise, they are also more discerning when it comes to the actual vehicle transport fleet. After all, a reliable fleet is one of the keys to achieving consistent turnover and growth.
The Isuzu N-Series Smoother brings with it a perfect canvas to serve any company’s specific needs. Whatever the requirements your business, the N-Series Smoother is flexible enough to be customized into a variety of applications. This includes converting it into a passenger van, an aluminum van, a refrigerated van, a tanker, a fire truck, a crane cargo truck, and many more. This allows business owners to maximize the investment in the vehicles, as well as be assured of having an efficiently operating fleet.
Isuzu also takes into account the human aspect of any logistics team. After all, mechanical function isn’t all there is to transport. Considering driver comfort and safety, Isuzu made the N-Series Smoother one of the easiest trucks to drive. The secret is in the innovative intelligent gearshift system that is known as Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). This means that there is an automatic shift change by computer control. This technology and its 2-pedal operation reduces driving stress and fatigue so the driver can be more relaxed and focus on what matters the most — the road.
With the AMT system, the Isuzu N-Series Smoother offers the driving ease of an automatic with the incredible fuel efficiency of a manual transmission. Fuel guzzlers are an immediate red flag for most companies these days, especially with fuel prices on an all-time high. The N-Series Smoother assures owners of savings on fuel consumption. During the Isuzu One Full Tank Challenge, observed and certified by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), it covered 1,234 kilometers!
The AMT technology also offers overall low cost of maintenance. The 2-pedal operation reduces cost from clutch maintenance, which is a common problem for most manual transmissions. Customers can expect savings of up to P 23,000 annually, or in every 40,000-kilometers, on preventive maintenance.
Truth be told, any brand out there can build a truck. It is simply mechanical hardware. What cannot be built overnight is experience. Over the years, Isuzu’s advantage lies in its dedication to working closely with its customers and recognizing the continuously changing needs of Filipino industries. With that, Isuzu has developed countless solutions to address each and every requirement. The N-Series Smoother is the latest and only one of them.
