Isuzu Trucks has introduced the NLS 200 All Wheel Drive to its range.
The product is suitable for councils who tend to parks and gardens and the rural fire authorities who need to access fire trails.
An entry level model to Isuzu's off highway capable line-up, it provides drivers with a versatile light truck that performs well both on and off the road.
Fitted with manual locking front hubs and a limited slip differential in the rear axle, the NLS 200 provides drivers with a secure driveline connection when the terrain calls for increased traction.
To add to the safety and level of grip available to the driver, the NLS 200 has been fitted with 205/85R16 G557 lug tyres, and to improve the vehicle's abilities both on and off-road, it incorporates a torsion bar independent front suspension system.
Rated at a maximum GVM of 4,500 kg, the NLS 200 offers an excellent balance of payload capability combined with car-like comfort and convenience features, including ABS and ASR traction control, integrated air conditioning, a contoured adjustable driver's seat, driver's airbag, central locking and electric windows.
Powering the NLS 200 is the SiTEC Series II 150, 4-cylinder 2,999cc common rail diesel engine with an air-to-air intercooler and electronically controlled variable nozzle turbocharger.
The NLS 200 AWD is only available as a short wheelbase single cab variant.
