Bowl-equipped FYJ 2000 8x4 to headline Isuzu stand in Brisbane.

 

Japanese manufacturer Isuzu is bringing the FYJ 2000 8×4 optimised agitator model, with a full 7.5-cubic-metre bowl, to the Brisbane Truck Show in May.

Designed to suit the heavy-duty truck market segment from agitators, waste, earthmoving equipment floating and hook-lift bins to mixed freight, the Isuzu FYJ range, available in 8×4 and 10×4 configurations, feature a load-sharing twin-steer front axle, Isuzu or Hendrickson airbag rear suspension and the option of a Eaton-Fuller 10-speed, Allison 4430 Automatic or German-built ZF 9-speed transmission.

With the ability to haul 42,500kg, the Isuzu FYJ 2000 8×4 is powered by a SiTEC III 350 diesel engine, available in long or extra-long variants and kept on the road by Meritor front and rear axles.

Isuzu’s DAVE infotainment system is also included, offering digital radio, DVD, MP3, voice-control and Bluetooth connectivity, while sat-nav and tyre-pressure monitoring are extras.

Isuzu will be looking forward to demoing the 8×4 to the Brisbane public after the FYJ 2000 8×4 Auto model took out ‘Truck of the Show’ at the Melbourne Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show (ITTES) last year.

Visitors to the show looking to inspect the Isuzu the new FSR 700 Auto will also be in luck, with the Japanese company set to display the medium-to-heavy F Series model at the event.

The locally engineered, 4×2 rigid has an Allison LCT 2500 auto transmission, 3.79m wheel base and a tare weight of 3,820kg.
