Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. announced that the 50,000th gasoline-powered Isuzu N-Series truck has been produced in Charlotte, Mich. The truck rolled off the assembly line on Aug. 1. The Isuzu N-Series truck has been in production since 2011, and is assembled by Spartan Motors.

Isuzu N-Series gas-powered trucks feature a Vortec 6.0-liter small-block V8 engine that produces 297 HP at 4,300 RPM and generates 372 lbs./ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. The powerplant is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with double overdrive and lock-up torque converter for enhanced fuel economy and performance. An optional version of the engine is capable of being converted to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, or propane).

“We are proud to offer our gas-powered N-Series truck in a wide range of configurations to meet our customers’ needs,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “And together with our dealerships and Spartan Motors, we’re looking forward to the next 50,000.”
