In addition, the products and solutions on display by Isuzu and UD Trucks will highlight the integration of transport and innovation, and be grouped into the three categories of INNOVATION FOR EARTH, INNOVATION FOR SOCIETY, and INNOVATION FOR LIFE.

INNOVATION FOR SOCIETY

Logistics is the lifeblood of society and the social infrastructure that we all depend on. However, today drivers are facing long working hours due to the increasing volume of deliveries driven by the growth in e-commerce and a shortage of truck drivers stemming from an aging population and the revision of the license system in Japan. While workstyle reform legislation beginning in April 2024 is expected to improve the working conditions of drivers by limiting overtime hours, there are concerns that it will cause an acute shortage of drivers and result in shipment delays.

As a leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles, the Isuzu Group will continue to proactively address challenges facing the logistics industry that are embodied by the upcoming legislation. The Group is committed to supporting the people who keep logistics and society moving, while helping advance good business practices, by providing innovative vehicles and services that incorporate autonomous and advanced safety technologies.

Ensuring non-stop operations for customers is paramount. The Isuzu Group is committed to accelerating the future of transport to move society forward.
