Isuzu UK is to bring an array of specialist fleet vehicles to this year’s CV Show, showcasing the capabilities of its Fleet Conversion Centre.
The dedicated centre, based in Sheerness, works hand-in-hand with the brand’s fleet sales, homologation and technical teams to offer a specialised build-to-order service, whilst retaining the manufacturer warranty and ensuring the capability of the vehicle is not compromised in any way.
Returning once again to the CV Show, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 24 to 26 May 2022, Isuzu will display vehicles built to current customers’ requirements and including a D-Max Utility double cab for Network Rail featuring a Truckman canopy with roof vent and internal lighting, additional exterior lighting, all-terrain tyres, VB Tech air suspension system, Axtec axle weight load indicator system and an interior mirror reverse camera kit.
It also gets a bespoke racking storage system, COSHH storage locker, handwash and DEB hand cream PPE unit and a water boiler.
Other vehicles include a D-Max Utility extended cab from National Resources Wales, which features a Truckman canopy with internal lighting and high-power exterior lighting, as well as a double slide-out drawer system, with sliding cargo tray, racking storage units and a slide-out vice assembly. Other equipment adds in all-terrain tyres, an in-cab rear seat storage system with PPE hooks and a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and a warning triangle.
The Isuzu stand will also feature a D-Max Utility double cab from Mitie Landscapes, with an N&J Agrican canopy, under-rail load liner and bespoke internal ladder rack with swivel lighting. This vehicle is also fitted with the VB Tech air suspension system and a bespoke snow plough bracket mounted at the front of the vehicle and bespoke brackets for attaching portable ramps on the rear tailgate.
Neil Scott, national fleet sales manager, said: “At the CV Show this year we want to demonstrate the versatility and professional approach of our dedicated Fleet Conversion Centre, which enables us to provide a one-stop-shop for Isuzu fleet customers. We have a number of our vehicles on display which demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility of not only the D-Max pickup but also the service that we can provide to meet the varying demands of our current and future customers.”
The Isuzu stand will also feature a D-Max Utility single cab with a type-approved conversion from Cumberland Platforms. The platform has a 3.5t suspension upgrade and 7t GTW, along with a working height of 13.1m and a working outreach of 6.2m, which means the platform knuckle remains within the vehicle’s working envelope at all times and removes the possibility of it being hit by oncoming vehicles when working at height on the highways.
