Isuzu North America Corporation is establishing a new production base in Greenville County, South Carolina to expand its vehicle supply capabilities. The company has purchased a 1,000,000 square foot facility on over 200 acres of land that it is converting into an assembly plant.
Isuzu’s total investment in the plant is expected to equal approximately $280 million dollars. The plant will have a production capacity of 50,000 units by 2030 and will initially produce Isuzu N-Series Gas, N-Series Electric, and F-Series Diesel trucks. Initial assembly operations will begin in 2027 and will further expand in 2028, at which time, the plant is expected to employ more than 700 people.
The new assembly plant will introduce a variable-model, variable-volume production system that produces both ICE vehicles and EVs. It will be the first facility in the Isuzu Group to use a production line without conveyors or pits. In addition, the plant’s quality assurance system will automate inspections to eliminate operational errors, ensure traceability of parts, and introduce image inspections and other methods to prevent the leakage of defective products.
The size of the Greenville plant will enable Isuzu to consolidate all production-related operations—KD storage and processing, parts storage, vehicle production and PIO operations—under one roof, streamlining processes and improving efficiency. The campus also has sufficient acreage to store all completed trucks at a single site.
