Isuzu Motors to move pickup truck development base to Thailand+

TOKYO, March 26 Kyodo -
Isuzu Motors Ltd. said Friday it will move its operation to develop small
pickup trucks to Thailand in April from the Fujisawa plant in Kanagawa
Prefecture.

The automaker has decided on the move to expeditiously market products that
meet local needs as Thailand is Isuzu's largest market for small pickup trucks.
Associated personnel in Japan will be dispatched to Thailand or transferred to
other sections for vehicle development.
Sales of small pickup trucks account for around 30 percent of Isuzu's overall
sales and about 70 percent of the trucks are exported to Thailand.
In Thailand, Isuzu will develop a new pickup truck model to succeed the
existing one that was put on sale in 2002.
