The History of Isuzu

Isuzu is one of the oldest Japanese automakers in the world – in fact, they played a part in producing the first Japanese passenger car in 1922. Isuzu was originally a shipbuilding company that was founded in Tokyo in 1916, but it quickly became a purveyor of automobiles. The next three decades would see Isuzu continue to grow into one of the major automobile manufacturers in Asia.

The company is still headquartered in Tokyo to this day and employs around 30,000 employees under its network. It has over 1.5 trillion Japanese Yen in total assets, making it one of the largest car manufacturers on earth. Isuzu manufactures both consumer and commercial vehicles.

Isuzu has released lighter trucks in the Philippines, but it is most well-known for its utility vehicles, trucks, and buses.
