Isuzu and Hino jointly developed Japan’s first hybrid articulated bus.
Not only it efficiently transports a great many people, but also its hybrid system responds to the need to reduce environmental burdens.
Moreover, EDSS (Emergency Driving Stop System), built into the transit bus for the first time in the world, decelerates and brings it to a stop by pressing an emergency button when a passenger or crew member detects something wrong with the driver.
Further, the bus is loaded with jointly developed new technologies to support a Advanced Rapid Transit (ART): Precise Docking Control which automatically aligns the bus with the bus stop, Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) which automatically accelerates and decelerates with regard to preceding vehicles’ speed changes via vehicle-to-vehicle communication with the preceding vehicles, Visual Support System which detects moving obstacles outside the vehicle, etc.
ELF EV Walk-through Van, next-gen light delivery vehicle
On top of being environmentally conscious such as zero emissions, quiet operation, etc., it takes advantage of the EV architecture which allows for a walk-through structure to provide better working conditions for drivers and optimize efficiency in collection and delivery. A swivel seat on a driver-side makes it easy for the driver to get in and out of the vehicle.
In respect to safety, a combination of a digital mirror system (CMS*1) which covers a wider range of view than any conventional mirrors together with 3D Surround Multiview*2 that provides a 3D vehicle periphery monitoring secures safety for the driver and surroundings.

5.ELF
New model ELF revamped for better driving, stopping and connection
A new engine 4JZ1 fitted with urea SCR has made it possible to achieve both compliance to the Japan’s PPNLT emissions standards and top-of-the-diesel-class fuel efficiency (driving). *3
A suite of advanced safety features, such as pre-crash brake system supported by stereo cameras with superior forward obstacle detection, comes as a standard (stopping). *4
Vehicle conditions are remotely monitored through a connected technology (connecting) and PREISM, employing predictive analytics over real-time data for maintenance to be performed by an authorized Isuzu dealer, is now available.
