The Isuzu N-Series trucks continue to dominate the light-duty truck segment, proving that success naturally follows quality and reliability. The N-Series, which has been the market leader for 12 consecutive years already, is once again on pace to pull off the feat, easily besting the competition in terms of sales in June as well as for the first half of the year.
According to official sales figures released by the Truck Manufacturers Association of the Philippines and the Chamber of the Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, the N-Series sold 57 units in the month of June, accounting for 49.1 percent of Category 3, or the class of light-duty commercial trucks. This figure brings the N-Series' year-to-date sales total to 442 units, representing a commanding 57.3 percent of the market.
The Isuzu N-Series is a versatile line of light-duty trucks that have many applications. Its many configurations include the passenger van, the aluminum van, the refrigerated van, the fire truck, the drop-side truck; the aerial platform truck, the refuse collector, the dump truck, the cargo truck and the tanker.
The N-Series has four main variants: the NHR55E, the NKR66E, the NPR66P and the NQR71R. The NHR is powered by a 2.8-liter, 80-PS four-cylinder diesel engine. The NKR and the NPR both have a 4.3-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with maximum outputs of 103 PS and 120 PS, respectively. The NQR boasts the biggest powerplant of all, a 4.6-liter, 130PS four-cylinder diesel engine. While these diesel engines differ in displacement sizes and horsepower ratings, they are all powerful and possess Isuzu's vaunted efficiency and environment-friendliness.
The N-Series trucks' durability and dependability have made them the light commercial truck of choice among small and medium enterprises. “If a vehicle becomes a bestseller for a month or even a year, it could simply be a stroke of luck,” said Isuzu Philippines Corp. president Keiji Takeda. “But if a vehicle is the bestseller in a competitive class for a dozen straight years, that is concrete proof of its superiority over its rivals. It means the market has full confidence in it as a result of a very satisfying experience with it.”
