Isuzu Trucks Celebrates Historic 300,000th Sale with Delivery to Victorian Builder

Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) is celebrating an extraordinary Australian automotive milestone with the delivery of its 300,000th truck in the country, a landmark achievement that powerfully reinforces its now 37 consecutive year reign as the nation’s leading truck brand.

The historic vehicle, an all-new MY25 NQR 88-190 Crew Cab, has been delivered to family-owned Victorian construction specialist, Able Constructions and Management.

This milestone sale arrives hot on the heels of Isuzu’s dominant 2025 sales result and the successful launch of its all-new MY25 range, showcasing the brand’s unwavering momentum in a robust and growing market.

Ready & able

For 25 years, Able Constructions has been a force in Melbourne’s growth corridors, evolving from shop fit-outs to a full-service operation tackling projects ranging from medical centres to high-rise developments.

Their choice of the versatile 8,800 kg Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) NQR Crew Cab was driven by a need for a vehicle that balances significant load capacity with the agility for both sprawling greenfield sites and tight urban footprints.

“We’ve got the longest wheelbase you can get with the crew cab,” said the company’s Project Manager, known affectionately as ‘Fonz.’

“It was easy enough to just get a bigger truck, but being a light truck, it is a lot easier to manoeuvre in tighter spaces and the crew cab means I can bring the boys with me, and on rainy days, we can keep gear dry in the cabin.

“It’s the perfect tool for the job.”

NQ-right!

The truck’s specification, including a 4,500 kg rated tow bar, aligns perfectly with Able’s diverse workload and transport requirements.

The Able team is particularly impressed by the advanced standard technology, describing the experience as less as a work truck and more like, “an advanced car.”

“The Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control makes it very easy to drive. It’s like an autopilot airplane!” Fonz remarked, highlighting further features like Advanced Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Warning that are part of the MY25 model’s class-leading intelligent safety suite.

Milestones in market leadership

The able Constructions story epitomises the fit-for-purpose philosophy that has propelled Isuzu to an unmatched 37 consecutive years* of truck market leadership in Australia.

According to the latest industry data, the national heavy vehicle fleet continues to expand at an average annual rate of 2.7 per cent, with over 677,000 light through to heavy-duty trucks registered nationally.

Isuzu’s supremacy within this growing landscape is unequivocal.

In 2025, the brand captured a formidable 27.5 per cent of the total truck market, selling a total of 12,420 vehicles.

The brand continued its domination the light-duty segment as well, with a staggering 50.6 per cent share and held 49 per cent of the medium-duty segment.

All about trust

Mr Craig White, Head of Sales at IAL, said the 300,000th Isuzu sale is a testament to decades of trust built with Australian businesses.

“Reaching 300,000 sales a powerful reflection of the countless partnerships we’ve forged with hard-working Australian companies like Able Constructions,” Mr. White said.

“This milestone coincides with our latest and most impressive product offering now on sale across the country.

The Able Constructions NQR 88-190 Crew Cab is powered by Isuzu’s 5.2-litre 4HK1-TCC engine, delivering 140 kW and 513 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed Automated Manual Transmission.

“Our all-new MY25 N Series, featuring our Euro VI compliant 4HK1 engine and comprehensive safety technology, represents the next generation of Isuzu’s commitment to reliability, innovation, and driver comfort.

“It’s this relentless focus on delivering what our customers need that secures our position at the forefront of the industry, year after year,” Mr White said.

Building the future together

For Able Constructions, the new Isuzu NQR is a mobile workshop, a team transporter, and a reliable partner for the future.

“I’d definitely go for an Isuzu again,” Fonz stated.

“We’re extremely happy with them… if there is another option to buy another truck, we’ll definitely be going back.”

As Isuzu Trucks looks ahead, this historic sale underscores the simple, yet proven formula of understanding the nuanced needs of Australian industry and providing the tough, intelligent, and dependable vehicles that help businesses, large and small, build their own success stories.
