Isuzu is introducing navigation technology to improve its latest heavy vehicle models
Heavy vehicle providers Isuzu Trucks says it is now using HERE Navigation in its latest 2022 models to help optimise its fleet operations.
The connected in-vehicle navigation system is designed for embedded in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platforms and will be used in Isuzu’s latest 2022 model year F Series, FX Series and FY series trucks sold in Australia.
As part of a wide range of safety features and enhancements being introduced to the heavy vehicle brand, Isuzu says HERE Navigation will provide a total package of in-cabin help.
“We’ve introduced a new navigation system from HERE Navigation with smart updates for maps, live traffic with a mobile phone wifi connection and the requisite truck specific data and routing,” Isuzu Trucks chief engineer Simon Humphries says.
“Drivers will appreciate the array of features from this major in-cab upgrade – this really is the latest in automotive AV technology.
“The inclusion of a new, digital low-light capable reversing camera furthers the smarts and safety of these models.”
The release of these new 2022 Isuzu F Series trucks includes plenty of other technologies and advanced safety features which will work to improve operator and ownership experience across all models.
Inside the cabin is an all-new 10.1-inch touch-screen audio-visual unit and a new vehicle six-year warranty and roadside package.

Advanced safety features include advanced emergency braking, forward collision warning, distance warning system and lane departure warning technology.
These models will also receive electronic stability control, while new LED headlamps for certain models will improve night-time operation while adding new steering wheel controls to provide the highest level of safety.
