ISUZU MOTORS LIMITEDBooth No.:EC03
Prototype “VCCC (Vertical Core Cycle Concept)”
As the world enters a new era of transport, Isuzu believes systems that can circulate people and goods to the right place at the right time will become commonplace. From this perspective, the Isuzu Group conceived a vehicle with an innovative vertical frame known as the “Vertical Core.”
The Vertical Core is a shared platform compatible with a wide range of configurations, making it accessible to businesses, individuals, and local communities alike. Using a modular concept that enables vehicles to be rearranged in units consisting of key components, enabling highly flexible and efficient operation.
This evolved form of transport offers new levels of freedom for users and supports a lifestyle that enhances the well-being of society.

Multi-fuel Engine
For commercial vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality (CN), Isuzu believes a multi-pathway approach is essential, as vehicle sizes and applications vary widely.
The multi-fuel engine shares key components, such as the cylinder block and crankshaft, with conventional diesel engines. By simply modifying systems like the ignition and fuel injection depending on the fuel type, the engine can accommodate not only diesel, but also CN-compatible fuels such as natural gas, hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels.
In addition to electrification, Isuzu is proposing a next-generation internal combustion engine that offers both ease of implementation and cost efficiency in the pursuit of CN.

ELF EV Garbage Truck
This truck is based on the light-duty ELF EV, developed to help realize a carbon-neutral society. It features Isuzu’s proprietary electric PTO (Power Take-Off) unit, which supplies power from the vehicle’s power source, such as the engine or battery, to auxiliary equipment.
With no difference in performance compared to conventional diesel vehicles, this truck offers quiet operation unique to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and significantly reduces CO2 emissions, contributing to cleaner urban environments.

GIGA
GIGA is a heavy-duty truck with a newly designed cab exterior, which was revamped for the first time in nearly a decade. Safety features have been significantly enhanced, including pre-crash braking for turns, left-turn entrapment prevention braking, side collision mitigation, and a wheel detachment early-warning detection system. These safety upgrades provide greater peace of mind for drivers.
Also on display is Isuzu’s unique low-floor, three-axle truck with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 25 tons, currently the only one of its kind offered in Japan. With its high payload capacity and spacious cargo area, it can move more with every trip, contributing to more efficient logistics.

ERGA EV Autonomous Bus
Currently under development, this autonomous route bus is based on Japan’s first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) full-flat-floor route bus ERGA EV. It realizes safe and stable autonomous driving through advanced vehicle-integrated control technology that coordinates multiple components and recognizes surroundings using various types of sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and millimeter-wave radar.
Leveraging the quiet operation and smooth acceleration/deceleration unique to BEVs, it offers passengers a comfortable and reassuring ride.

D-MAX
This 1-ton pickup truck is designed not only for traditional commercial use, but also to meet passenger needs, offering versatile solutions for a wide range of customer needs. With its outstanding durability and off-road capability, it has gained overwhelming popularity, particularly in Thailand. Since its launch in May 2002, approximately 5.3 million units* have been sold across 120 countries and regions. In April this year, the BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) pickup truck D-MAX EV was added to the lineup.
At the Japan Mobility Show, the latest model, newly launched in Thailand this October, will be on display. Featuring a completely redesigned exterior and interior, it delivers both powerful performance and refined, sophisticated style.
*As of the end of August 2025, including KB and TF models-predecessors to the D-MAX-as well as OEM vehicles.
