ear readers, as alluded to in the last edition, Isuzu recorded its 25th consecutive year of
Australian truck market leadership at the end of December 2013. We can now officially
claim the achievement according to the industry figures*.
Thank you once more to our loyal customers for their continued support of the Isuzu brand
over the years. Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) is acutely aware that the Australian market is immensely
competitive with quality products available from a wide range of manufacturers. Our company is
committed to constantly improving our entire range of products and services and in turn offering
customers the most rewarding ownership experience possible. We value your business.
To celebrate the 25 year achievement, this edition contains a commemorative eight-page brochure
that outlines the progression of Isuzu trucks since 1972 to current day – we hope you find it an
interesting read. Those preferring a condensed version of the story should turn to pages four and five
and see our illustration.
In the following pages you’ll also find preliminary details of our soon-to-be-released Limited Edition F
Series models. These models are fitted with a number of additional features that provide extra value for
customers while offering a visual package that will set them apart from regular Isuzu models. And in
other great news, several F Series ‘S’ models are also returning to the product line-up.
Those readers who have been following our SBR 422 restoration will be pleased to know that the truck
has been successfully completed and has already been used at a promotional event earlier this year.
Please see our ‘Tech Torque’ pages for the latest details and photos.
We also announce our current Truck of the Year grand final winner. The lucky owner of the FY Series
has received a $5,000 Caltex StarCash fuel card. Given the current price of diesel, the card was very
well received. Please go to page 23 for details of our next grand prize on offer, and you can read more
about the winning vehicle on page 16 in a feature story.
In other customer stories we take a look at HDT Australia and its highly specialised FYH 2000 which
is equipped with a vacuum body and water tank. The versatile truck is used in the company’s
underground drilling projects and is one of four trucks in the Isuzu-exclusive fleet.
We then travel to Mudgee in New South Wales to look at some of the good work being done by the
local ‘Rescue Squad’ with the help of its well-appointed FRR 600.

ISUZU TRUCKS
25 CONSECUTIVE
YEARS NUMBER ONE
Isuzu Trucks has recorded an impressive industry milestone achieving 25 consecutive
years of Australian truck market sales leadership at the end of December, 2013.
1989 N Series line-up.
Isuzu’s reign atop the sales charts began in 1989
with the brand’s acceptance and popularity steadily
growing ever since.
According to Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) data,
more than 138,000 Isuzu trucks have been sold
in Australia over the past 25 years, and today
approximately one in every four new trucks sold
here wears the Isuzu badge.
In 1989 the Isuzu model line-up featured 30
variants; 25 years on the model range offers over
160 variants, easily the broadest range of any truck
brand in Australia.
IAL Director and Chief Operating Officer, Phil Taylor,
said the company was thrilled at reaching the
milestone and was fortunate to have many loyal
customers who have strongly supported the brand
over the last two and a half decades.
“We’d like to thank our loyal truck customers for
Mr Taylor said celebrations would be modest and
the brand was firmly focused on continued success
well into the future.
“There’s little time to celebrate. The competition
grows stronger and we must remain steadfastly
focused on continuing to provide the market with a
broad range of high quality trucks, complemented
by industry-best aftersales products and support
services. If we do this strong sales results will
continue to follow.”
In the heavy market, Isuzu finished in fourth
place achieving an 8.2 per cent share, with the
company’s FY Series 8x4 range beginning to gain
traction in the sales charts.
Mr Taylor said he expected truck sales to increase
in 2014 in line with an improving economy and
greater business confidence.
“IAL analysts are forecasting total market growth
this year in the vicinity of five per cent,” he said.
“Stability in Government, historically low interest
rates and positive trending confidence all point to a
more buoyant sales environment in 2014.”
Overall 2013 was a challenging year for the truck
market, with marginally fewer sales compared to 2012.
According to official T-mark industry reports, Isuzu
finished 2013 with a total of 6,814 truck sales
and 22.2 per cent market share, almost 9 per cent
(market share) clear of its closest rival.
As well as taking out overall sales honours, Isuzu
continued to dominate the light market with a total
of 3,246 units for a 38 per cent share, while also
comfortably leading the medium market with 2,657
units for a 39.9 per cent share.

sales leadership, let alone in an industry as mature
and competitive as the Australian truck market,” Mr

IRELAND’S
DEALERSHIP
CELEBRATES
90 YEARS
OF SERVICE
Twenty-thirteen marked a formidable milestone for Ireland’s in Cairns – 90 years
of continuous ownership, operation and industry-leading customer service.
A proud part of the Cairns community, Ireland’s has
also enjoyed a close relationship with Isuzu Australia
Limited during its 90-year reign, working closely with
the company since it first appeared on Australian
shores in 1972 offering ‘Bedford by Isuzu’.
The story of Ireland’s impressive business history can
be traced back to its young and industrious founder,
Francis Ireland. At just 14 years of age, Francis
started out work mending bicycle tyre punctures,
progressing over time to bicycle mechanic, advanced
motor mechanic and garage foreman.
He soon opened the doors on his own venture, initially
selling and repairing bicycles and motorcycles, then
turning his expertise and dedication to repairing
motor cars in 1923. Francis diversified into selling
trucks in the late 1920s, and was stocking Chevrolet
and Mapleleaf Trucks by the 1930s.

Apologies to Sargon, Daniel and the Bingo Waste Group.
Decades on the company is still represented by
the Ireland family, and with over 130 employees
in Cairns, they are proud to be a local business,
run by true-blue locals. Joint Managing Director
Richard Ireland says the company maintains the
values their founder Francis Ireland stood for all
those years ago.
“As a multi-award winning business, one thing we
impress upon our team is that the company is in
the business for the long haul. Although we have
over 90 years of experience under our belts, we
know that only dedication to customer satisfaction
and providing great value on all products and
services will ensure our prosperity for the decades
to come,” Richard said.
IAL is proud to be part of Ireland’s long-running
success and looks forward to continuing the
relationship into the years ahead.

NEW RELEASES
ISUZU TRUCKS
LAUNCHES NEW
‘S’ MODELS AND
LIMITED EDITIONS
www.isuzu.com.au
Isuzu Limited Edition models will be ideal for many applications including tilt tray work and for owners running full sized bodies.

Isuzu is celebrating the recent achievement of
25 consecutive years’ truck market leadership by
introducing three new high power ‘S’ models to the
medium duty F Series range, along with a special
release of five value-added Limited Edition variants.
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014
T
he ‘S’ models comprise the FRD 600-S,
FSD 700-S and FSD 850-S, and all
feature a higher horsepower 7.8 litre
SiTEC Series III engine producing 191 kW
@ 2,400 rpm and 761 Nm @ 1,450 – 2,400 rpm
(up 15 kW and 55 Nm from regular models).
The three new ‘S’ models also offer a wider
choice of transmissions and all feature rear
Hendrickson HAS200 airbag suspension, making
them ideal for sensitive load applications or those
wanting a more supple ride.
The FRD 600-S is rated at 11,000 kg GVM and
16,000 kg* GCM, and is available with either an
Isuzu 6-speed manual transmission or an Allison
LCT2500 fully automatic transmission.
FSD 700-S and FSD 850-S trucks have a GVM
rating of 12,000 / 14,000 kg and GCM rating of
18,000 / 20,000 kg respectively*, and offer buyers
an even greater choice of transmissions.
Along with the proven Isuzu 6-speed manual,
buyers can also select from the versatile
Isuzu second generation Automated Manual
Transmission (AMT), or the Allison LCT2500 full
automatic depending on the application.
IAL Chief Engineer – Product Strategy, Simon
Humphries, said the S models would be welcomed
by many customers across a range of applications.
“The new models will appeal to tilt tray operators
who often tow a trailer to carry additional cars,
and need extra power for the job,” Mr Humphries.
“Similarly the additional power will benefit
owners who fit full size van or tautliner bodies
with very large frontal areas – these customers
may require more power to maintain highway
speeds in windy conditions.
“The combination of a higher power engine and
either Allison full automatic transmission or Isuzu
AMT will appeal to any operator doing a lot of
work in metropolitan and urban environments in
heavy start and stop traffic.”
Isuzu Limited Editions
To coincide with its recent achievement of 25
consecutive years of Australian truck market
leadership, Isuzu is building a limited quantity of

700-S Long Premium Auto.
IAL Marketing Manager, Jeff Birdseye, said the
Limited Edition models provided customers with a
great value offering.
“The Limited Edition models are very competitively
priced yet feature a number of impressive
additions, particularly the alloy wheels and DRLs,”
Mr Birdseye said.
“Those who spend long hours in the cabin will
also appreciate the premium speakers and satellite
navigation – we expect these models to be quickly
snapped up by value-conscious buyers who also
want to stand out from the crowd.”
It is anticipated that Limited Edition S models will be
arriving in Isuzu Truck Dealer stocks over the next
few months, but buyers are warned not to delay
placing their orders as they will be eagerly sought.

Limited Editions include a number of additional
features. LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) are
fitted in the front bumper for added road presence

with polished Alcoa alloy wheels and prominent

The FYH 2000 is well equipped for the job.
HTD AUSTRALIA
DRILLS FOR SUCCESS
U
nderground drilling specialists, HTD
Australia, have been operating in the
industry for over two decades and are no
strangers to its high standards and the
resultant need for safe, reliable and robust equipment.
Located in Redcliffe, Queensland, the company
specialises in horizontal drilling solutions for local,
private and government based companies for
large and small projects.
HTD Australia has always focused on utilising
the most advanced technology and equipment in
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD).
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014
The company’s clients prefer to use directional
drilling services as it provides less traffic
disruption, lower cost, deeper and/or longer
installation, shorter completion times, directional
capabilities and environmental safety.
HTD Australia’s exclusively Isuzu truck fleet helps
get the job done in the most efficient manner.
“We pride ourselves in having the best available
equipment in Horizontal Directional Drilling and
our Isuzu trucks are no different when it comes
to transporting that equipment,” HTD Director Zac
Chisolm said.
“Our latest addition, an 8x4 Isuzu FYH 2000, has
high quality features such as premium driveline
components from American brands, Meritor and
Eaton.”
Zac also nominated the truck’s load sharing front
suspension, with its unique damped mechanical
equalising rocker connecting the trailing end of
the lead spring and the leading end of the second
spring as another example.
The FYH 2000 has been fitted with a vacuum
excavation body used to analyse the location of
the underground utilities/services, accomplished
through water pressure produced by a highpowered vacuum machine.
Location and guidance of the drilling is an important
part of the drilling operation, as the drilling head is
under the ground while drilling and, in most cases,
not visible from the ground surface. Uncontrolled
or unguided drilling can lead to substantial
destruction, which can be eliminated by properly
locating and guiding the drill head.
The vacuum excavation body was built by Big Rig
Industries located in Eagle Farm, Queensland, and
is over 7.4 metres long.
When looking for a new truck, Zac said he wanted a
vehicle that was big enough for the vacuum body.
“The Isuzu FYH 2000 with its 30,000 kg GVM
rating meets our needs for a truck big enough
not only for the vacuum body, but also to
accommodate the water mass the body holds
when on the job.”
Zac has five other Isuzu trucks in his fleet, a Giga
CXY 455, FVZ 1400 Long and FVR 900 with tray
bodies, a FSR 850 Long with a vacuum excavation
unit and an NQR 450 with a service body, all
used to transport and service heavy underground
drilling machinery.
Zac said he didn’t look at any other truck brand
except Isuzu.
“I’ve always used Isuzus - they are very reliable!”
he said.
“I’m so familiar with the Isuzu brand I couldn’t
bear to use another truck manufacturer.
“Isuzu’s service is also impeccable and there’s
always someone available to help if required,
wherever I am in Australia.
“I plan to keep my fleet exclusively Isuzu for as
long as I run my business.”
Horizontal underground
drilling is a multi-million
dollar industry in Australia
governed by stringent safety
and environmental regulations.
It’s employed to install
underground pipes, conduits
and cables with minimal impact
on the surrounding area and is
commonly used when trenching
or excavating is not practical or
would be disruptive.

A
ffiliated with the NSW Volunteer Rescue
Association and a totally volunteer
organisation, the Mudgee Rescue
Squad has 21 members and is the
primary response rescue unit for Mudgee and
surrounds in the Mid-Western Regional Council.
The Squad is accredited by the NSW State Rescue
Board to conduct rescue, general land, water and
vertical rescue operations. It is equipped to assist
with a range of situations, such as those relating
to motor vehicle, aircraft and rail accidents and
water rescue, as well as search operations which
can often extend over several days or even weeks.
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014
The Mudgee Rescue Squad also assists other
emergency services as requested such as Police,
NSW Ambulance Service, Fire and Rescue NSW,
NSW Rural Fire Service and SES, with tasks
including traffic control, incident scene security,
providing lighting, setting up helicopter landings
and communication work. The Squad also assists
fire crews with road closures, door knocking and
advising residents to evacuate.
Operating 24/7 the team can be contacted via a
000-controlled paging system and mobile phone
text messaging service.
According to Squad Secretary, Garry Dollisson, the
new Isuzu is a great replacement.
“The FRR 600 carries all our rescue equipment.
As it’s a crew cab it takes up to seven people.
This is essential as we must always have at least
two accredited crew members at each job plus
additional crew,” Mr Dollisson said.
“The truck body contains many compartments
in which we store equipment, an LED lighting
system, generator, air bags and hydraulic
equipment. A walkway down the middle of the
truck body allows us to get easy access to our
equipment and store our ladder.
“The truck has also been equipped with new radio
communication equipment as well as a fridge
and microwave which permits temporary catering
when we are on a job for a long period of time.
“So far the truck goes along beautifully. It’s
a pleasure to drive, very easy to operate and
extremely responsive. It’s our main vehicle so it
gets driven in many conditions,” Mr Dollisson said.
“When selecting a new truck we had a list of
requirements we needed to meet. We looked at three
different trucks before choosing the Isuzu FRR 600.
“The Isuzu appealed to us because we had such
a good run out of our old truck. It has just been
sold privately to somebody who will use it as a
campervan to travel around Australia.”
Mr Dollisson said the Mudgee Rescue Squad
is very thankful for the community’s help in
purchasing the new truck.
“We created a portfolio to explain to the
community why we needed a new truck. We went
to different organisations, businesses, services
and the media to spread the word,” he said.
“The local Mudgee High School year 12 students
raised over $20,000 from their end-of-year event
and other organisations and services held special
fund raising days just for our rescue truck.
“Once we purchased the truck, Mudgee Complete
Steel built the body to suit our equipment and
needs. They did an excellent job.
“We couldn’t have done it without the
community’s support and help.”

FOOD DISTRIBUTION

With more than 150 years in the Australian food
distribution industry, it’s no surprise many large
and well-known food manufacturers go to PFD
Food Services for their food distribution needs.
P
FD’s roots can be traced to the 1860s
when J Hill and Son established the
company as fresh fish merchants.
These days, PFD has one of the largest
privately owned food service fleets in Australia,
and each day the company’s fleet delivers fresh,
frozen and dry goods to over 40,000 businesses
across Australia.
The company has 61 state-of-the-art branches
strategically located throughout Australia to
maximize its coverage.
PFD has aligned itself with the leaders in food
manufacturing such as Kraft Foods, D’oro, Nestle,
Peters, McCain, Ingham and more.
The South Australian division has a fleet of 66 Isuzus,
41 of which operate from its Adelaide branch. The
Isuzu trucks range from the smaller NPR 400 and
NRQ 450s to the larger FRR 550, FRR 600, FVR 950,
FVR 1400, FVL 1400 and FVZ 1400s. In addition, PFD
recently took on a delivery of two new Isuzu FVD
1000 Long trucks and a FRR 600 AMT.
According to SA Transport Manager, Mark Davies,
Isuzu trucks are a big favourite at PFD.
“The use of Isuzu vehicles, combined with the
first-rate maintenance service provided by
Sebastian Regorius and his team at Adelaide
Isuzu, ensures we achieve maximum utilisation
of our fleet and provide the most effective service
to our customers,” Mark said.
“The FVD 1000’s equipment is very user-friendly and
allows us to meet our stringent safety requirements.
“We chose the added reversing camera option
which works a treat with the truck’s digital audio
visual equipment unit.
“The drivers really enjoy getting into the Isuzu
cabs as they are spacious and quite comfortable,
minimising the fatigue experienced in such a fast
paced service industry.
“The FVD 1000 truck includes an Isri 6860 air
suspension driver’s seat – its extensive range
of adjustments makes it perfect for long drives.
Also aiding the ride is the Hendrickson airbag
rear suspension.”

and cost savings. The rest of the Isuzu fleet
features manual transmissions.
All the new trucks in the fleet have purpose-built
van bodies with fridge/chiller capabilities and are
manufactured by Therma Truck body builders in
Smithfield, New South Wales.
PFD stands apart from many of its competitors
through technology development. As major
supermarkets move towards electronic trading
requirements, PFD has introduced Radio
Frequency (RF) scanning to generate real time
transactions for its retail warehouse customers.
The van bodies are fitted with sliding divider walls
which can expand or minimise the refrigerated
area for flexibility. PFD also installs racking to hold
goods in place.
The introduction of RF scanning requires all stock
entering the warehouse to have two barcodes on
each pallet, the first to identify our retail customer’s
stock and the second provides the PFD item.
PFD opted for the Allison auto transmission in the
FVD 1000 and is pleased with the performance
National Fleet Manager, Steve Wright, said PFD looks
forward to continuing the relationship with Isuzu.
“Isuzu’s customer service over the years has been
faultless, especially when dealing with North East
Isuzu in Adelaide,” Steve said.
“They understand our business and meet our
requirements with minimal downtime.
“Isuzu trucks are ideal for the food distribution
industry; they have a clean and presentable
design which complements PFD’s corporate look
and feel.
“They are well equipped and help us get the
job done with no issues. We will definitely look
to add more Isuzu trucks to the fleet as the
business expands.”

EFFICIENT ISUZU 8X4

New Isuzu FYJ 2000 is ticking all the right
boxes for experienced construction contractor.
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014

Raymar Hire Owner Ray Engles and his new Isuzu FYJ 2000 8x4.
A
s an excavation and industrial bin hire
company, Raymar Hire needs to ensure
manoeuvrability around tight work
sites efficiently and without damaging
buildings, pipes and overhead wires. To do so, the
South Australian business uses its new Isuzu FYJ
2000 8x4 with a 25 tonne Hiab Multilift LHZ roll-on
roll-off waste bin lifter truck.
Owner, Ray Engles, uses his Isuzu truck almost
daily in his contracting to high-end building
businesses, to deliver large bins and transport his
excavation equipment.
“I complete trenching for sewers, electrical and
storm water. I also do contracting work at schools
completing new buildings and storm water and
waste areas,” Ray said.
“I have all of the tools to get into backyards and
other small areas as well. I really enjoy the work.
“I have been digging for 25 years and my
experience provides me with the knowledge to
avoid damaging existing infrastructure when I’m
completing a job. I am an experienced specialist in
mini excavators and skid steer loaders and have
very precise control over these machines.
“The machines I use allow me to dig trenches and then
also remove soil in one go. The truck lets me carry the
excavator and other machines in the roll-off bin.”
Functioning similar to a tipper, the hook lift bin truck
body lowers to allow Ray to put bins on the ground
and drive his excavator out the back of the truck.
“This set up is much more convenient and efficient.
It’s also easier on my body and I can get home
earlier at the end of the day – I’m off the job in just
ten minutes. I don’t need to put ramps down, I just
drive the machines straight into the back of the bin
and go,” Ray said.
“I didn’t want a basic truck. Just 24 hours after test
driving the truck I made the decision to purchase it.
I said, ‘that’s the truck’,” he said.
“I also installed LED flashing lights on top,
lambswool seat covers, customer 200 kilogram
slide-out tool box and a bullbar so it really stands
out on the roads.
“I had a great experience with the dealership,
North East Isuzu. Salesman, Jason Abella, is the
most sincere sales person and works extremely
hard to please his customers. Rock Pinneri and
David Di Lorenzo from the dealership’s engineering
department were also great to deal with and
assisted me in modifying the FYJ 2000 8x4 to suit
my needs.”
Ray said although the Isuzu FYJ 2000 was a
relatively new model to the Isuzu line-up when he
was in the market, he didn’t have any hesitations in
choosing this truck.
“I have two other Isuzu trucks that I’ve been
extremely happy with and I know the FYJ 2000 8x4
is built like a tank – it won’t let me down,” he said.
“I did my homework and drove a lot of the new
models available in the same class. However I felt
that when I drove the Isuzu FYJ 2000 8x4 it stood
out. It was extremely easy to drive and the Allison
automatic transmission was a breeze.
“Isuzu produced a great product with the FYJ
model. It’s a pleasure to drive, luxurious and ticked
more boxes than its competitors. There are no
downfalls to this truck, it does everything I want it
to. I have driven trucks for over 30 years and I just
love this truck. I couldn’t speak more highly of it.
“As with other Japanese trucks, Isuzus are built to
carry a good load and and have a flat nose, which
I like.”
According to Ray, not having to refuel the Isuzu FYJ
2000 8x4 with AdBlue was also a great benefit of
this truck.
“The truck is very well balanced for the 5 to 7.5
metre bins that fit so well on the back.”
“I did investigate the pros and cons of AdBlue, however
I came to the conclusion that AdBlue is an extra
product to purchase, additional chassis space and
weight to carry with its tank and so forth,” Ray said.
As an owner operator, Ray required a truck that
could also double as a mobile advertisement for
Raymar Hire.
“I couldn’t be happier with the overall package. It’s
a really nice truck, it’s as simple as that.”
www.isuzu.com.au
“The FYJ 2000 8x4 is nine metres long and very
manoeuvrable. It’s much easier than driving and
navigating a truck and trailer set-up around a job site.

INDUSTRY INSIDER
DEALERS LOOK BACK
ON ISUZU’S 25 YEARS
OF MARKET LEADERSHIP
Isuzu boasts the largest and most professional truck dealer network in
Australia with over 60 outlets and branches nationwide, so who better to speak
to about Isuzu’s history-making time at the top than those at the frontline.
Here’s what a selection of senior dealership personnel had to say about
the brand’s points of difference and standout models of the past few decades.
1973 KS 21
1999 FVZ 1400
Terry Jewson
Dealer Principal, Patterson
Cheney & Westar Trucks, VIC
Time in the industry: 32 years
“The first truck that comes to mind as a
stand-out is the FSR 500. It was a very
popular truck, it did its job and never let us
down. The other truck that remains in my
memory is the FVR 900 which gave us an
entry into the eight tonne market, in particular
the refrigeration side of things.
“To put it simply, Isuzu offers customers
reliability and support. You’ll know when you
buy an Isuzu truck you’re going to get looked
after, and if anything goes wrong the support
is there.
“I think IAL will continue to do well in coming
years regardless of competition, we’ve got a
strong reputation and programs and systems
in place to make sure the company is
constantly improving and developing.”
Isuzu pioneers the ‘ready-to-work’
truck with its 2005 NPR 200 Tradepack.
Current model FY Series is
providing access to new markets.
Gary Melrose
Dealer Principal, Gilbert and Roach, NSW
Time in the Industry: 39 years
Greg Smith
Group Sales Manager, Brisbane Isuzu, QLD
Time in the industry: 17 years
“The first two Isuzu models we were selling were
the SBR 450 and the KS 21. Some other truck
brands we were selling back then would do less
than 20,000 km and need a full engine rebuild,
but with the Isuzu trucks they’d do 250,000 km
and we wouldn’t have to touch the engines.
“The introduction of a ready-to-work truck like
the NPR 200 Medium Tradepack some 10 years
ago had a significant impact on the market, as
it offered a practical alternative at an affordable
price for tradesmen looking for a work vehicle
other than a traditional ute.
“The truck that has really stood out for me over
the years is the SBR 422 which came out in the
late 70s. Those things were bulletproof, you’d
sell them and they wouldn’t break. Customers
would start them in the morning, turn them off
in the afternoon and they’d go every day.
“We are seeing another buying segment
emerge with the introduction of the FY 8x4 and
10x4 range as well; it’s really captured another
level of the market.
“Isuzu has continued to offer customers
reliability during those 25 years, and they have
the right attitude to fixing vehicles and keeping
customers on the road. If they maintain those
key principals they should be able to maintain
market leadership for another 25 years.”
“No other manufacturer has such a broad range
of trucks and that definitely gives Isuzu the
advantage over competitors, but I think we’ve
got to still be on our toes in the coming years
and not just rely on our previous results.”
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014
Bob Pearce
Dealer Principal, Major Motors, WA
Time in the industry: 43 years
“One of the trucks that has stood out for me over the years is the FVZ 1400. It wasn’t initially one of our most popular trucks but it ended up becoming one
of our biggest sellers because it epitomised the reliability of Isuzu and was perfectly suited to the applications customers were specifying it for.
“We’ve also been really impressed recently with the FY Series as it’s opened up new opportunities in the heavy market for us, such as larger concrete
mixers and a range of transporters that need the front axle load-sharing capability the FY provides.
“Without a doubt, Isuzu has been an extremely reliable product over the years and it’s had the back-up from Isuzu management and the exceptional aftermarket
care and support services they offer. They’ve done a wonderful job in ensuring the right trucks are coming into Australia for the right applications.”

IAL WORLD
LONG-STANDING ISUZU
DEALERSHIP MERGES TO
A ONE-STOP TRUCK FACILITY
One of Isuzu Trucks’ most
successful and oldest South
Australian dealerships, OG
Roberts & Co, has joined
forces with another truck
dealership, J & B Inter and
expanded its facilities to
provide even better service
for the Mount Gambier and
Western District of the
Victorian region.
R
enamed OGR Trucks, the $3 million
redevelopment is situated on a one
hectare site on Jubilee Highway
West only 800 metres from the
original dealership. It can be accessed from both
directions of the highway.
J & B Inter, under the ownership of John King,
has also run a very successful heavy truck
operation with various truck manufacturers over
three decades. In fact John actually did his truck
apprenticeship with O G Roberts and sold Isuzu
trucks prior to forming his new company.
The new state-of-the-art facility opened its doors
last year on November 6, and accommodates
all trucking requirements including sales,
servicing and parts for commercial vehicle weight
segments from utilities to B double prime movers
and everything in between.
Prior to the merger, both dealerships employed
some of the most experienced people in the
industry, so the merger has combined a highly
knowledgeable outfit at OGR Trucks.
The new premises offer truck operators a brand new
showroom, open display for parts products, large
parking area, and a reception featuring an adjoining
customer lounge with private sleeping quarters and
outside balcony – ideal for truck operators to use
while their trucks are being serviced.
In addition, the facilities also comprise ten service
bays with four pits including a full length 20 metre
drive through state-of-the-art pit which allows for
faster B double service turnaround time.

“In the past due to lack of accessibility at our
old site, we were servicing prime movers but the
trailers had to be split and serviced at J & B Inter.
Now we do it all together which saves time and
money for our clients.
The dealership is managed by OG Roberts dealer
principal, Peter Roberts, and co-founder of J & B
Inter, John King.
“We were stretched to the limits with our trucks
division prior to the merger, so with it moving to
another location, we now have more space to
enhance our vehicle selection and can provide
more bulk parts storage, parking and service
facilities for our customers.
OG Roberts has been in operation over 50 years
and has dominated the medium truck market as
well as having been a major player in the heavy
prime mover market in the Mount Gambier district.
“It’s also a big win for the trucking industry and
shows great confidence in the future of southeast Australia, particularly in the timber industry
and related freight options.
The original dealership was established in 1956
by Owen G Roberts and today, with the help of his
son, Peter, and grandson, Bryce, the dealership
has become a great success story.
“The OGR Trucks team looks forward to
continuing its successful relationship with Isuzu
for many years to come.”

TECH TORQUE
‘HERITAGE TRUCK’
TRUCKPOWER SUMMER 2013/2014
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
21
It’s taken a lot of time, sweat and patience, but Isuzu’s fully-restored
SBR ‘Heritage Truck’ is now officially back on the road, looking every
bit as impressive as its first day off the factory floor in 1979.
The tired SBR as found two years ago.
T
his iconic Aussie ‘workhorse’ is widely
credited for laying the strong foundations
for Isuzu’s future growth in the Australian
market, so it’s only fitting the rebuild was
completed in time for IAL’s 25 consecutive years’
Australian truck market leadership celebrations.
At the time it entered the market, the Isuzu SBR
was a relative newcomer, competing against
products from several established North American
and British brands.
Offering simplicity, reliability and the ability to get
the job done, it soon became the leading mediumduty truck on Australia’s roads.
Complete restoration of the Isuzu SBR has been
a two-year project undertaken by the IAL Product
Development Department in Port Melbourne.
All mechanical and assembly work was performed
in-house whilst key industry partners were
engaged for specialised jobs such as the cab panel
work and body build.
Purchased with a suspected 1.3 million kilometres
on the clock (odometer reading 300,000) from the
outskirts of Melbourne, the truck was definitely
showing its age but provided a sound starting point
for the restoration.
Testament to the SBR’s tough nature, the driveline
needed no significant mechanical attention, but
was given a fuel system recondition which included
injectors and a well overdue freshen up of the
mechanical injection pump.
After a good hot wash, some new gaskets, a paint
job and a trip to the electroplating factory, the old
6BB1 both runs and looks like a new engine.
The interior and exterior truck cabin and tray body
was another story however.
To return it to the condition in which it rolled out
of the old assembly plant in Dandenong, Victoria,
all rust, dents and blemishes were removed and
repaired and the cab was then finished in classic
Isuzu white.
The interior received even more attention with new
door trims, seat covers, roof lining and floor vinyl
required, all completed in the fashionable (for the
time) signature blue hue.
With the cabin refitted to the chassis, the intricate
task of installing the rest of the trim as well as the
vital electrics began, including fitting refurbished
wiring harnesses.
In keeping with the era of the truck, a custom-built
body featuring a Tasmanian oak floor was fitted
including incandescent lighting, and all secured to
the chassis with period-correct but often cursed
‘U’ bolts.
The SBR in its fully-restored glory looks every bit
as good as when it left the assembly plant 35 years
ago, a result that would not have been possible
without the hard work of IAL technicians, and the
support and expertise of Isuzu’s industry partners
and suppliers.
This new old truck will find its place at future truck
shows and IAL events to raise awareness of Isuzu’s
heritage in Australia, and to honour the company’s
legacy of providing reliable, tough trucks to market.
Interior looks showroom fresh

the Product Development Team
and the following industry
partners for their assistance:

Despite a long hard life, the chassis was still in
reasonable condition− requiring only a good wash,
some sandblasting and very minor repairs.

SHIFTY AND DEB SHELDON – NPS 300
BOSS HAULAGE – FYH 2000 8X4
TIGER WASTE – FVZ 1400
Queenslanders, Shifty and Deb Sheldon, have
converted their new Isuzu NPS 300 4x4 into a
much loved motorhome.
ACT-based haulage and excavation specialist,
Boss Haulage, recently added an Isuzu FYH
2000 8x4 to its fleet sporting a brilliant red paint
job with orange and white pin striping, in line
with the company colours.
Canberra skip bin hire and waste collection
business, Tiger Waste, is the proud owner of a
colourful Isuzu FVZ 1400. Fitted with a WestTrans MXS 150 skip bin loader, the FVZ is able
to pick up and transport the business’ orange
skip bins, sizes ranging from 2-12 cubic metres,
to residential and commercial customers
throughout Canberra and surrounding regions.
According to Shifty, the pair chose the 4x4
truck so they could explore areas that regular
caravans cannot.
“We purchased the Isuzu NPS 300 4x4 for
the reliability, knowing we can go off-road and
return safe and sound. Only Isuzu is good for
that,” Shifty said.
“The slide-on body is a Palomino Camper from
Palomino Australia and we installed ALI fuel and
water tanks under the camper, which were built
by Lev’s Fabrication Aluminium in Queensland.
“On the truck we carry 240 litres of fuel, 265
litres of water and 65 litres of petrol for the
generator. Additionally, on top of the camper we
have 3-150kW solar panels.
To complement the cab, the truck features a
grey body with the same pinstripe highlights,
chrome rims and tinted windows.
Purchased from Canberra Isuzu, the new FYH
2000 8x4 has been dubbed ‘Lazy Suzy’ by Boss
Haulage, who has painted the name across the
front of the truck’s cab.
The FYH 2000 8x4 joins an Isuzu FRR 500
Tipper, which was also recently purchased and
received the same cosmetic treatment.
“When purchasing the truck we considered
all major truck brands that could service our
weight and body requirements. We also looked
at the vehicle’s operating cost, availability, cost
of spare parts and support provided by local
dealers. Our local dealer, Canberra Isuzu, was
miles apart from its competition in all aspects,”
Lee Carmody said.
“We chose the FVZ 1400 as it provides sufficient
carrying capacity and power. Our trucks generally
work in a city environment and it’s important they
can easily manoeuvre through narrow streets
and confined construction sites. We sought
a vehicle that provided a comfortable work
environment for drivers while ensuring they are
supported by a range of safety features, including
ABS, hill start aid, cross locks and a hands-free
telephone system.”
www.isuzu.com.au
“Inside our Isuzu we have three cameras – one
to show what is behind us, one to monitor the
inside of the camper when we go off road and
one under the truck to view our running gear.”
