History of iSUZU

OVER 10 YEARS OF HISTORY

Transportation is all about connecting people, and at ISUZU we pride ourselves on doing more than that.

In the past, ships were the best way to transport large quantities of goods and people. In fact, ISUZU's history extends back to a company founded by the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1853. Water transport inevitably shifted to land, and the company began planning to manufacture automobiles in 1916. This was the founding of ISUZU.

The word "ISUZU"

The word "ISUZU" was first used as the name for TX trucks and BX buses in 1934. It is also the name of the sacred river that flows through the ISE Grand Shrine, the oldest and most important shrine in Japan. ISUZU was adopted as the company name in 1949.

ISUZU's great heritage

ISUZU's great heritage includes the manufacture of Japan's first passenger car, the A9 in 1922, the first truck, the CP in 1924, and the first air-cooled diesel engines, the DA4 and DA6 in 1936.

ISUZU has supported logistics and mobility to connect people's lives since its inception. Our products have been used extensively in over 120 countries around the world, including the vast African continent.
