IAL will soon introduce its new range of Euro V-rated trucks - Isuzu's cleanest ever, and among the most environmentally friendly of any make on Australian roads.

In addition to the impressive 'green' credentials of the new range, which includes four carry-over compressed natural gas (CNG) models, Isuzu will introduce six new truck models to give buyers even greater choice across the N and F Series.

While all N Series SiTEC Series III engines comply with Euro V emissions standards, power and torque figures remain unchanged from the previous models.

Two new tipper models (NLS 200, NLR 275) have been added to the N Series range, while the NLS 200 is now also being offered in crew cab configuration for the first time.

Isuzu's engineering team has continued its work to provide safer cabins and this has resulted in the fitting of passenger airbags as standard on all new N Series models.

Further bolstering the safety credentials of the new Isuzu light duty range is adherence to stringent ECE-29 regulation cabin strength standards.

Other benefits include the introduction of a standard fluorescent cabin light in N Series trucks, and the adoption of taper leaf front springs (NPR 250/300/400 and NQR 450 models) for a smoother ride with up to 30 per cent greater load capacity.

The F Series has also received several upgrades in its transition to a Euro V rating.

A GVM increase on the FTS 800 from 13,500 kg to 13,900 kg across all applications improves its ability to haul heavier loads.

And there's now an even greater selection of trucks available in the F Series range with the introduction of three new models.

The new FSR X-Long offers a massive 6500 mm wheelbase - an additional 940 mm over its FSR Long counterpart.  Also new to the range is the single cab FTR 900 Medium-Long and the FVR 1000 Auto.
