In logistics and supply chain, last mile delivery refers to the final leg of a delivery process, from a distribution center to the consumer’s doorstep. Ranging from a few blocks to 100 miles, this leg of a journey is the most time consuming and expensive aspect of a shipping/delivery process. No matter where your final destination may be, Isuzu trucks are perfect for last mile delivery. 

Why Delivery Services Prefer Isuzu Box Trucks 

  • Versatility and Reliability. Truck versatility and reliability are a large part of a successful final mile delivery. Isuzu NPR, NRR, NQR and FTR commercial trucks are designed to operate in an urban environment and boast several advantages, such as: Excellent maneuverability in urban streets. Designed with 49.5-degree wheel-cut angles, Isuzu trucks offer the tightest turning radius of any commercial truck and is perfectly suited for congested cities or tight residential streets. 

  • More room for product. Compared to conventional cab trucks, vans and cutaways, the Isuzu low cab forward design accommodates up to two feet more body, allowing more available cargo space on the same wheelbase. 

  • Flexible van box configurations. 

  • Powerful Engines. Powerful, economic, and long-lasting diesel and gas powertrains make Isuzu trucks a smart investment for your business.  

  • Driver visibility and other safety features. Because the driver sits above the wheels in an Isuzu Low Cab Forward Truck, there is less truck in front of the cab and the driver can see the road and potential obstacles   within 8 ft. in front of the truck.  You’ll find Isuzu’s come equipped with safety features such as concealed doorsteps, ergonomic grab handles and large side mirrors. You may also consider adding options such as heated mirrors and a back-up camera.  

  • Excellent fuel economy. Isuzu offers several gas and diesel models in Canada, and some can even be retrofitted for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).  Visit the Isuzu Fuel Comparison Guide to get a better idea of potential fuel savings. 

Rest assured, no matter your final mile application, an Isuzu truck will meet your delivery expectations. And with Isuzu’s maintenance and warranty programs, you’re sure to stay on the streets, maximizing uptime and profits. At Rush Truck Centres of Canada, we want to help your company succeed along every mile in your journey. Contact one of our commercial truck experts to help you spec the perfect last mile delivery truck.
