Isuzu Motors is a leader in the commercial vehicle industry with a growth strategy aimed at addressing social challenges. Based on the new management philosophy "ISUZU ID" established in May 2023, the company emphasizes a unified approach by employees to tackle societal issues. This philosophy focuses on creating innovative transportation solutions and contributing to carbon neutrality and evolving logistics.

In April 2024, Isuzu Motors announced its medium-term management plan "ISUZU Transformation – Growth to 2030" (IX). This plan aims to expand the business model from product-focused to solution-focused by 2030. The company will concentrate on three key areas—autonomous driving solutions, connected services, and carbon-neutral solutions—with approximately 1 trillion yen in innovation investment.

In autonomous driving solutions, Isuzu targets the launch of truck and bus operations utilizing Level 4 autonomous technology by fiscal year 2027. For connected services, the company is expanding BEV truck services in North America. Under carbon-neutral solutions, Isuzu plans to add carbon-neutral products across all vehicle categories by 2030.

Strengthening existing operations is also a critical part of the strategy. Operating in over 150 countries, Isuzu aims to sell more than 850,000 new vehicles by fiscal year 2030. In Japan, the company will introduce new digital marketing sales methods, while overseas operations will focus on increased production and sales of new truck models.

Based on "ISUZU ID," the company is advancing human capital management and establishing a global management foundation. New personnel systems will be implemented to support employee development and drive further business growth. Talent development initiatives in partnership with the University of Tokyo are also being strengthened.

Isuzu Motors aims for sustained corporate value growth, targeting 6 trillion yen in revenue and an operating profit margin of 10% or higher by fiscal year 2030. The company will balance investment in existing and new businesses while pursuing both shareholder returns and financial soundness. Approximately 2.6 trillion yen in investment is planned through March 2031 to achieve sustainable growth.
