New and Used Isuzu Information:
The Isuzu story starts here: After the German engineer Rudolf Diesel developed the world's first diesel engine in 1893, decades passed until the birth of Japan's first practical automotive diesel engine.
While Japan's first diesel engine was developed by the Navy in 1907, the model was not for practical use but for research use. However, many private companies continued their efforts to develop diesel engines for various industries including the automobile industry.
Automobile Industries Co., Ltd., an Isuzu predecessor, established a diesel research committee in1934, as part of the operational policies of then President Tomonosuke Kano. Just two years later in1936, the company manufactured Japan's first air-cooled diesel engine, which marked abreakthrough in the history of diesel engine development.
This new Isuzu engine model surpassed competing makes when vehicles for both civilian use and military use equipped with it soon. Automobile Industries was merged with two other companies into Tokyo Automobile Industries Co., Ltd. in 1937.
The Japanese government designated Tokyo Automobile Industries in 1941 as the only company that was permitted to manufacture diesel-powered vehicles. Thus, the company, which now used the name Isuzu Motors Limited in 1949, has established strong foothold in the industry to lead the diesel engine technology.
