Veteran utilitarian pick-up truck trades diesel engine for twin electric motors and battery
When it comes to the transition to electric vehicles, Isuzu would be one of the last brands to come to mind for most drivers. But the fact is that even the most agricultural manufacturers are being squeezed by CO2 emissions targets and EV sales mandates, meaning changes have to be made.Hence an Isuzu D-Max EV joins the seven-year-old diesel D-Max, which will remain on sale for the foreseeable future.It swaps the turbocharged 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine for a pair of electric motors, one mounted on each axle.Combined power and torque are 188bhp and 240lb ft, providing a 0-62mph time of 10.1sec and a top speed of 84mph.
