Isuzu and GM ink CV collaboration pact in the USA

General Motors and Isuzu Motors have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio.

Isuzu will produce low cab-forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016.  

To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab-forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0-litre V8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu petrol-powered low cab-forward trucks.

Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities globally.
