Isuzu makes a splash in the Eastern Cape
Farmer's Weekly|September 16, 2022
In the Wild Coast region, where very poor roads and rough conditions are the norm, Isuzu trucks are valued for their ruggedness and reliability.
Isuzu makes a splash in the Eastern Cape

Since the introduction of the first Isuzu truck in 1975, Isuzu trucks have become a familiar feature on South African roads. Isuzu has been the top truck brand in terms of sales in South Africa for the past nine consecutive years in the medium- and heavy-duty segments of the truck market.

According to a statement by the company, this makes Isuzu trucks an integral part of South Africa’s economy. While other regions in the country may have many options for transportation of goods, one area, the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape, seems to have a singular preference for the Isuzu F-Series Truck.
