Isuzu Trucks is turning up the heat in Australia’s heavy-duty truck segment with the national debut of its next-generation FX Series, unveiled this week at the Brisbane Truck Show.

With major advancements in powertrain technology, safety, and cabin ergonomics, the all-new FX Series is purpose-built to challenge the status quo and reinforce Isuzu’s position as a force across all truck classes—from light to heavy-duty.

Redesigned from the ground up, the MY25 FX range introduces GVM upgrades, advanced driver aids, and robust engineering across eight versatile model options—raising the bar for performance and reliability.

A Key Piece in Isuzu’s Heavy-Duty Push

Jeff Gibson, Product Manager – Medium & Heavy Duty at Isuzu Australia, positioned the FX launch as a major milestone within Isuzu’s broader MY25 full-model update.

“The FX fills a unique space in the market—balancing high payload, manoeuvrability and real-world durability,” said Mr Gibson.

“What we’re delivering here in Brisbane is nothing short of class-leading. Combined with our soon-to-be-launched FY Series, the FX cements our ambition to challenge the biggest OEMs in the global truck arena.”

 

MY25 FX Series: Under the Hood

All eight models in the FX Series are powered by Isuzu’s battle-tested 6UZ1-TCC six-cylinder engine, now enhanced to meet ADR 80/04 (Euro VI) compliance.

  • 259 kW (352 HP)
  • 1,437 Nm of torque from just 1,400 rpm

Optimised for applications like waste, mining, freight, and hook-lift haulage, this engine delivers a balance of power, fuel efficiency, and lower emissions—tailor-made for Australia's demanding conditions.

 

Transmissions: Built for the Long Haul

Mated to the 6UZ1 powerplant is the Allison 4430 6-speed automatic transmission, featuring Gen 6 electronic controls for improved shift logic, fuel economy, and operational versatility.

Engineered for high-stress environments, from heavy construction to long-distance freight, the Allison 4430 ensures seamless torque delivery and long-term durability.

Safety: A First-Class Leap Forward

The FX Series now leads its category with an impressive suite of 22 active and passive safety systems, with 10 completely new to this model line.

Using a dual-lens ADAS camera and millimetre-wave radar, drivers benefit from the most intelligent active safety system ever fitted to an Isuzu heavy-duty truck.

ADAS Camera Features:

  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
  • Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
  • Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
  • Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB)
  • Attention Alert System (AAS)
  • Traffic Movement Warning (TMW)

Combined Camera & Radar Functions:

  • Distance Warning System (DWS)
  • Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB)
  • Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control (FACC)

Passive Safety Highlights:

  • Dual SRS airbags (now including passenger airbag)
  • Seatbelt pretensioners
  • ECE-R29 cabin strength certification
  • Reinforced anti-intrusion door bars

Cabin: Designed for the Modern Operator

Beyond its tough mechanical DNA, the 2025 FX Series introduces a completely redesigned cabin that blends durability with driver-focused features.

From the signature LED Daytime Running Lamps and Bi-LED headlights to UV-blocking glass and a keyless entry system, the FX feels as modern as it performs.

Inside the Cab:

  • ISRI 6860/875 NTS2 climate seat with heating & cooling
  • MyIsuzu Co-Pilot infotainment with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
  • 7-inch digital multi-info display
  • Integrated steering wheel controls
  • Smart cabin storage + fold-down centre seat
  • High-output LED overhead and dome lights for night ops

Operators will immediately notice the step up in comfort, visibility, and ergonomics, helping reduce fatigue and improve day-to-day performance.

 

Hot Off the Stand at Brisbane

The FXY model, proudly displayed at the Brisbane Truck Show, showcases everything Isuzu’s MY25 FX range has to offer: rugged capability, driver-first design, and advanced operational technology.

With the FY Series just around the corner, Isuzu’s two-pronged attack on the heavy-duty sector is taking shape. And according to Gibson, the market has good reason to take notice.

“The FX Series shows Isuzu’s dedication to continuous improvement—and to our customers,” said Mr Gibson.
“We’re not just keeping up with the global players. We’re building trucks that outperform them.”
