In 1960, the Isuzu Elf became the first light duty truck in Japan to be equipped with a diesel engine, while in 1973, it was the first in its class to come with a direct injection diesel.
The Isuzu Elf has earned an excellent reputation not only in Japan, but also in overseas markets as the Isuzu N-series. The cab tilt mechanism, which is not to be found in American trucks in its class, and an easiness to handle that is ideal for quick-turn capability for city deliveries. The Isuzu N-series has garnered No. 1 share among imported vehicles in its class(Class 3-4) for 14 consecutive years from 1986 to 1999 in USA.
