Isuzu N–Series, An Excellent Urban Truck

Isuzu N-Series trucks are a popular choice for refuse collection in tight, urban locations, or in smaller settings like parks where maneuverability and size are more important than pure capacity.

The Isuzu N-Series features a low cab forward design, that gives the driver excellent visibility when maneuvering tight, congested areas. The cab design allows drivers to see objects on the ground only 2.4 m away. This visibility combined with a 46.6° wheel cut on the larger NRR, drivers can more easily maneuver this right-sized truck in close quarters. The low cab forward design also allows shorter overall vehicle length than comparably equipped conventional trucks, while offering easy vehicle service via tilting the cab for engine access.

The NRR is equipped with a 5.2 l diesel engine and an Aisin 6 speed automatic transmission, for excellent drivability and remarkable fuel economy when compared to larger refuse trucks. The engine is designed for long life, with a B10 rating of 500,000 km.

The N-Series also offers an optional vertical exhaust package, creating more space on the frame for special body configurations and equipment.

Isuzu N-Series refuse trucks are in use from coast to coast in Canada, in locations like the historical, beautiful yet constricted Old Montreal, Quebec, to suburban areas in the Greater Victoria region, British Columbia.
