Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) has announced the extension of service intervals for its MY25 model range from 20,000 kilometres to 25,000 kilometres.
This update is a direct result of continuous engineering improvement and is underpinned by the capabilities of Isuzu’s newly-released powertrain technology line-up.
The move, according to the company, is set to deliver tangible reductions in operating costs and increased uptime for businesses across the country.
IAL National Service Business Manager, Glenn Jones, said the decision reinforces Isuzu’s commitment to leading the industry when it comes to the total cost of ownership (TCO) equation, and provides clear efficiency benefits for owners.
“This is a meaningful change, one that directly addresses the operational priorities of our customers,” he said.
“When we talk about TCO, we’re looking at the entire picture — the cost of fuel, tyres, maintenance and critically, vehicle availability or uptime.
According to Jones, IAL’s decision to extend its service interval wasn’t taken lightly.
“It’s a confident step, yes, but it’s backed by rigorous testing and the proven integrity of the product,” he said.
“It means less time off the road for maintenance and more time earning for our customers, which in today’s economic environment is a critical advantage.”
IAL’s lengthened service intervals have been enabled by key innovations in Isuzu’s MY25 range’s core systems and the use of high-performance fluids.
Key features of the new model line-up, including enhancements to a range of powertrain technology for optimal efficiency and the latest generation of Isuzu’s Advanced Driver Assistance System, contribute to the vehicle’s overall robustness and reliability.
Jones explained that the extended interval is a natural evolution of Isuzu’s engineering philosophy and a key part of the product’s inherent value.
“The integrity of every Isuzu truck is designed and built-in from the ground up,” he said.
“The MY25 range represents the pinnacle of this approach, with refinements across the board that allow for this increased service efficiency without compromising on performance or longevity.
“This announcement is a clear demonstration of how Isuzu’s product development is intrinsically linked to reducing our customers’ operating costs.”
The new 25,000-kilometre service interval will be integrated into Isuzu’s Service Agreement program, ensuring cost certainty and protection against inflation for the duration of the available aftersales packages.
The brand’s network of over 70 dealer locations have received deliveries of N Series NQR models, a range of six-cylinder FV variants and heavy-duty FX models, all of which are currently on sale across the country.
