Isuzu Trucks plans to construct a new $280 million manufacturing facility in South Carolina, operational by 2027. The plant will produce both electric and internal combustion medium-duty trucks, with a projected capacity of 50,000 vehicles annually by 2030. President Shaun Skinner emphasized the factory's flexibility to adapt to varying production needs. This marks a significant step for Isuzu, enhancing its North American presence following a record sales year. Notably, the plant will utilize a pioneering production line design, allowing seamless transitions between vehicle types.
"As our product lineup expands, whether it be electric or internal combustion, this plant will be able to meet the needs of all of those different plans," Shaun Skinner said.
"The factory will be the first in the Isuzu Group to use a production line without conveyors or pits, which should help the truck maker switch easily from ICE to EV production."
