Isuzu’s battery-powered F-series truck to be launched in North America in 2027
USA / Japan - Isuzu Motors Ltd, headquartered in Yokohama in Japan’s Kanagawa Prefecture, announced in late March that it has signed an agreement with US engine manufacturer Cummins Inc, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, to procure integrated battery-electric powertrains for its medium-duty trucks. The battery-powered F-series trucks are scheduled to be launched in North America in 2027.
The deal is the result of an existing partnership between Isuzu and Cummins, the Isuzu Cummins Powertrain Partnership (ICPP), in place since 2019 and focused on the development of next-generation powertrains. The ICPP has been testing BEV powertrains on medium-duty prototype trucks with a major fleet customer in North America since 2022, in preparation for its market introduction.
