Isuzu innovates and creates products that expand its portfolio and customer reach, says Steve Guillaume, president, Shyft Specialty Vehicles. Shyft looks forward to supporting Isuzu with manufacturing and expansion while maintaining high levels of quality and support, he adds.
Assembly of the Class 5 N-Series gasoline-powered chassis will begin immediately. Production on the 2022 F-Series featuring the Cummins B6.7 and a new Class 7 offering begins later this year.

The company offers highly trained personnel experienced in automotive manufacturing and assembly as well as a proven lean manufacturing process.
“With the additions of the Class 5 gas-powered N-Series models and the Cummins-powered Isuzu F-Series, our product lineup has never been as broad for the growing medium-duty market,” says Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada. “The launch of these new products will be a game changer for our customers, creating new opportunities for US and Canadian Isuzu dealers at a very opportune time. We are excited to continue working with The Shyft Group to get these products out in the industry and to Isuzu customers.”
