Recently, Isuzu Malaysia handed over 12 units of Isuzu ELF trucks to the country's electricity provider, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) in Pekan, Pahang. This handover ceremony was the latest round of deliveries from a RM31 million deal for a total of 200 Isuzu trucks to TNB. The remaining units expected to be supplied to TNB by end 2017. The 2-year fleet deal consist of the Isuzu ELF NPR 6-Wheeler Crew Cab, which have been customised to suit TNB’s requirements.
These Isuzu light duty trucks will be operated by TNB Distribution and will undertake its role as part of the field and rural support services. The trucks offer notably wider cabin space and better engine performance, will be supplied to TNB Distribution centres throughout the nation.
According to Isuzu Malaysia, TNB requires these new trucks to replace many of its aging fleet and enable the company to have more reliability in its service fleet so that its business of maintaining power supply throughout Malaysia is conducted as efficiently as possible.
The ELF NPR 6-wheeler Crew Cab has a 5.2liter common rail diesel engine which makes about 150ps and 404 Nm torque. It is a robust engine which is tuned for reliability. Note that to those who are not into trucks the 6-wheeler term refers to the 2 wheel up front and a 4 wheel rear axle, not 3 wheels in tandem each side (just a short lesson here, folks).
