Isuzu has announced its development of a new range of all-electric class 6 & 7 F series trucks, set to revolutionize the trucking industry in the US and Canada. Partnering with Cummins and utilizing the Accelera battery-electric powertrain, Isuzu aims to deliver cutting-edge electric trucks that offer zero-emission solutions for urban environments.
The announcement comes two years ahead of schedule, demonstrating Isuzu’s commitment to innovation and sustainable transportation. While specific details about the new electric trucks are yet to be revealed, Isuzu has confirmed that they will feature Accelera’s “next generation” lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology.
Shaun Skinner, Executive Officer at Isuzu Motors Limited, highlighted the significance of this development, stating, “With the start of production of our Isuzu class 5 N-Series EV coming this summer and with the future addition of the Isuzu battery electric class 6 & 7 truck, we will be able to provide zero emission solutions across our product line-up.”
Collaboration between Isuzu and Cummins is seen as crucial in supporting customers through the energy transition. Amy Davis, President of Accelera by Cummins, emphasized this point, stating, “Partnership and collaboration is critical to supporting customers through the energy transition. Together with Isuzu, and our joint commitment to innovation, we will provide customers with safe, reliable zero-emissions solutions.”
Isuzu plans to have the new electric version of its F series truck available for customers by 2026. Pricing details have not yet been disclosed, but Isuzu’s track record of building durable and reliable trucks suggests that the electric F series will be a formidable addition to its lineup.
