Isuzu to launch telematics program at Melbourne Truck Show
Market leader to put on live technology demonstrations as well as display 15 trucks at the ITTES
Isuzu will launch its telematics program at the International Truck Trailer & Equipment Show in Melbourne next month.
The program will offer two levels, which the company says will provide an extensive range of real-time vehicle tracking and monitoring. The levels are called Connect and Connect Plus.
Show-goers will be able to see live demonstrations of the technology from the Isuzu trucks stand. The stand will also showcase a 15-vehicle selection of Isuzu models covering the light, medium and heavy duty segments.
Among the trucks will be a limited edition F Series model featuring a high horsepower engine, Hendrickson air bag rear suspension, Allison automatic transmission and Alcoa alloy wheels.
The stand will display a wide range of model configurations including crew cab, ready-to-work vehicles and an agitator-bodied 8×4 FY Series truck that has been further optimised for that application.
There will also be two alternative fuel models – the compressed natural gas (CNG) powered NLR 200 CNG light duty truck and the medium duty FSR 850 CNG.
Complementing the display will be Isuzu’s recently-restored 1979 SBR 422 heritage truck.
Also on show will be a selection of Isuzu branded fluid products, parts and accessories as well as some industrial off-highway engines.
