Three of the Isuzu D-Max pick-ups delivered to RFT Repairs

Isuzu UK has just secured two significant fleet deals, underlining the increasing appeal of the Isuzu D-Max to fleet buyers across a wide range of sectors.

East Anglia-based housing association, Flagship Housing Group, signed a deal for 15 of the mid-specification Isuzu D-Max Eiger pick-ups after a competitive pitch against major rivals.

Flagship Housing Group’s fleet of pick-ups – all liveried in its signature Bottle Green colour – will be delivered by Norwich-based dealer, Dingles Isuzu, fully-fitted with load-bed liners, a hardtop canopy and rooftop ladder carrier.  The new fleet will be used to manage the maintenance of Flagship Housing Group’s 22,000 homes across the East.

Isuzu UK will also deliver a fleet of Isuzu D-Max pick-ups to civil engineering specialists, Jones Brothers.  The award-winning Welsh firm has so far ordered 15 units from the Isuzu D-Max Premium range – including Eiger, Yukon and Utah models – to service projects across the north of Wales.

William Brown, General Manager at Isuzu UK, commented:

“The expansion of our business-focused sales activities is already paying dividends. These two fleet deals say a lot about our Brand – not just because they build on our strong core of retail sales we have secured so far in 2013 – but also because they demonstrate the breadth of the D-Max’s appeal to businesses operating across diverse disciplines.”

The Isuzu D-Max has already proved to the hugely popular with UK buyers, after the Japanese-marque announced record sales during the month of March of 814 units – 16% of the UK market.  Isuzu further extended the appeal of the Isuzu D-Max pick-up with a new range of utility and style-enhancing accessories at the 2013 Commercial Vehicle Show, earlier this month. Most recently announced that its towing capacity had been upgraded from 3 tonnes to 3.5 tonnes, giving it the highest towing capacity in its class.
