Isuzu Motors India Private Limited, a subsidiary of Isuzu Motors, Japan, one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, delivered 3 Isuzu D-Max Single Cab vehicles to Snowman Logistics, a leading integrated temperature controlled logistics service provider in the country.
Powered by a 2499cc, 4-cylinder intercooled turbocharged diesel engine, the D-Max supports the need for powerful refrigeration and ensures higher productivity. The vehicle is designed with in-built features that support the refrigerated applications, thereby reducing the need for retrofitment.
Commenting at the key handover occasion, Mr. Shigeru Wakabayashi, Deputy Managing Director, Isuzu Motors India, said, “We are extremely happy to have Snowman as our customer, as we believe they have set a benchmark in the Indian cold-chain business in line with global standards, with state-of-the-art systems, processes and logistics. The choice of the Isuzu D-Max to service their high customer expectations only reiterates the D-Max’s world renowned reliability and efficiency. We are confident that our presence in the cold-chain transportation will increase manifold in the future.”
The Isuzu D-Max has been winning several awards globally and has begun the trend in India. The Isuzu D-MAX was recently awarded the prestigious “Apollo-CV” awards as the ‘Pick-up of the year’. The award winning Isuzu D-Max is powered by a 2499cc, 4-cylinder intercooled turbocharged diesel engine, mated to an efficient 5-speed manual transmission. It has a heavy-duty chassis, a large cargo bed to accommodate a refrigerated container and its body structure is made from high-tensile steel.
A completely new concept in India, the new D-MAX Space Cab’s unique feature is its extended cabin space of 1.5 feet behind the drivers’ seat, which can store valuable/ fragile goods. It offers significant features like Power steering, Power windows, Centralized door lock, AC with heater etc., making it ideal for commercial use in industries like Dairy, Agriculture, Retail, Engineering, Manufacturing and Small businesses.
