Five proven diesels for every job

powe train 01

Big power from small displacement:

ISUZU engineers pushed the limits of engine technology to develop the four-cylinder 4HK1-TCC / TCS.
These diesels are ideal for urban delivery.
For long-haul transport and more demanding applications, six-cylinder 6HK1-TCN / TCS offer the ultimate in output and torque and 6HH1-S powerplant features a mechanical pump to supply fuel from the fuel tank.

CHASSIS

Optimized for capacity and reliability

With a rigid chassis and optimal wheelbase dimensions, FORWARD is engineered to handle punishing conditions, heavy loads and a broad variety of rear bodies.
Placing the front axle slightly to the rear not only maximizes capacity, it also reduces overall length and allows for larger cab steps.
Net benefit: greater capacity, easier body mounting and better cab access.

chassis 01

Wide range of wheelbases

With an expanded lineup of wheelbases, FORWARD offers superior carrying capacity and body modification as it responds to customer needs for versatile platforms that can handle any application.
