Isuzu Motors will unveil the company’s first battery-electric vehicle D-MAX one-ton pickup truck to the public at the 45^th Bangkok International Motor Show to be held from 27 March to 7 April in Bangkok, Thailand.

D-MAX BEV has been developed to meet a broad-range of commercial and passenger vehicle needs while retaining the tough underlying performance expected of pickup trucks. The full-time 4WD system with newly developed e-Axles in front and rear offers excellent performance on rough roads and a linear acceleration feel characteristic of BEVs—all while minimizing noise and vibration, the company says.

Furthermore, high towing capacity is ensured by adopting high-power electric motors along with a robust frame and body design, allowing the D-MAX BEV to perform just as well as existing diesel models.

Keenly aware that customers use pickup trucks for various applications, D-MAX BEV offers an alternative power source. Launching in select mainland Europe markets such as Norway in 2025, D-MAX BEV will be rolled out to the UK, Australia, Thailand, and other countries based on market needs and the maturity of EV charging infrastructure.
