Isuzu boosts logistics with NRR EV low cab front truck
Isuzu decided it shouldn’t wait any longer to release more details about its all-electric 5 Series truck. Meet the 2025 NRR EV, a zero-tailpipe-emissions vehicle that will enable companies to move stuff without worrying about fuel costs.
Since the price of a gallon of gas is once again at $6 in some parts of the United States, reducing our dependence on crude oil derivatives is a great medium-term strategy to stabilize the economy. The United States cannot control the price of black gold globally, so when OPEC and its friends decide to play with production, we all see a little disruption. In this inflationary environment, this is not something anyone wants.
Goods distribution cannot be done without large vehicles and truck drivers, but it can be done without burning fossil fuels. For example, the Tesla Semi proved that powerful Class 8 trucks can replace traditional pickup trucks. PepsiCo is still testing it and crunching the numbers to see how cost-effective it is to electrify its entire fleet. However, things look promising.
But brands like Amazon have already started cutting back on gas and diesel consumption. The Rivian EDV allows the e-commerce giant’s drivers to deliver packages without using a drop of fuel.
However, shipping goods that need refrigeration or other types of bulk products that cannot fit into a small truck requires a larger vehicle. That’s where the 2025 Isuzu NRR is Eve jumps in.
Typically, items are sent from the warehouse to various companies located in urban areas using a Class 4, Class 5 or Class 6 truck. The Isuzu fits perfectly in the middle.
The Japanese brand says the NRR EV will boast a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,500 pounds and wheelbases ranging from 132.5 to 176 inches. Isuzu wants to make sure its new electric truck can fit the specific transportation needs of its customers.
There will be four Li-ion battery options; The larger will allow a range of up to 235 miles as rated by the manufacturer. 140 and 180kilowatt hours Energy storage units can only be installed on the longest NRR EV.
A 100-kWh battery pack will be available for trucks ordered with 150-inch and 132.5-inch wheelbases, while a smaller 60-kWh high-voltage battery is available for all wheelbase options.
DC (CCS Combo 1) and AC (J1772) charging will be standard, making the NRR EV ideal for any business entity. Potential buyers will not have to invest in expensive DC distributors. They could just increase the number of traditional outlets and allow trucks to replenish their batteries overnight. Charging takes 5.5 hours for a 60 kWh energy storage unit, while the larger one needs 10 hours.
The NRR EV will also be available with an advanced driver assistance system that includes lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
Pricing has not yet been revealed, but Isuzu has indicated that the NRR EV will benefit from exclusive roadside assistance and financing programmes.
