Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc. announced that the 40,000th gasoline-powered Isuzu N-Series truck has been produced at the Spartan Motors Inc. facility in Charlotte, Mich. The truck rolled off the line on June 8.

“From April 2015 to June 2016—a span of 15 months—we went from 20,000 to 30,000 gas-powered Isuzu trucks produced in Charlotte,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “Now, only 12 months later, another 10,000 N-Series gas trucks have been built. That’s a testament to the increasing popularity and growing reputation of our gasoline engine, low-cab-forward trucks.”

Assembly of Isuzu N-Series gas trucks began at Spartan in April 2011.

Isuzu N-Series gas trucks are powered by 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 power plant is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with double overdrive and lock-up torque converter. 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).

A full range of gasoline-powered models is available:

  • NPR (12,000-lb. GVWR)
