Why Mexico Sourcing from China
Japan-Sourced | China-Made (Isuzu JV) | |
Lead time | 90–180 days | 30–45 days |
Landed cost | Premium | −20–35% |
Engines | Isuzu original | Isuzu-licensed, same families |
China-made Isuzu trucks are genuine Isuzu products, built by official joint ventures under Isuzu technology and quality systems — with significantly lower cost and faster delivery to Manzanillo or Veracruz.
Outcome
Both parties agreed on an initial order of 10 units (NPR/NQR light, FVR/FVZ medium-heavy), bundled with 3-year parts supply, Spanish diagnostic tools, and technician training.
