Isuzu has launched the all-new FX Series in Brisbane.
With what the OEM is calling vastly improved powertrain technology, and a first-in-class safety package, the Isuzu FX Series also sports an overhauled cab design featuring optimised ergonomics.
The 2025 FX Series has been redesigned from nose to tail, with a long list of all-new features and some Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) upgrades across the line-up.
Isuzu Australia Limited’s (IAL) Product Manager, Medium & Heavy Duty, Jeff Gibson, explained both the significance of Isuzu’s broader MY25 full-model changeover and the esteemed position held by the FX Series within it.
“The FX sits within a fascinating space in the truck market and stands alone in many respects due to the unique nature of the platform, its payload capacities and manoeuvrability,” he said.
“The official launch of the heavy-duty FX model line-up this week has been a critical factor in this initial launch phase.
“What we’ve launched here in Brisbane is absolutely class leading on a number of fronts and will only enhance the compelling draw of the FX Series for a huge number of operators across Australia.
“We have every confidence, that when combined with the soon to be launched FY Series later this year, our heavy-duty line-up can continue to take the fight to some of the world’s largest Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).”
The FX Series, comprising of eight model variations up to 26,000 kg GVM share a six-cylinder, 259 kilowatt Isuzu powerplant known as the 6UZ1-TCC.
With peak torque of 1,437Nm from 1,400rpm and now with ADR 80/04 compliance using the Euro VI standard on the emissions control front, the engine has been refined for a host of Australian applications and operational environments.
Popular with tilt-tray and hook-lift haulage, mining, civil and waste, the 6UZ1 powered FX range occupies a niche space at the ignitor end of Isuzu’s heavy-duty model line-up.
Found in the FX and heavier still FY Series, the heavy-duty Allison 4430 series 6-speed full automatic transmission is specified for its superior torque capacity and robust reliability under extreme duress.
It features Gen 6 controls, provides fluid shifting with surpising fuel efficiency suitable for various applications like agriculture, heavy construction, and long-range general freight transportation.
