As Isuzu Australia ramps up to the release of its 2025 product range, it has appointed Rajeev Pillai to the role of light duty product manager.
He joined Isuzu initially in December 2024, following a 25-year career in the commercial vehicle industry including with Daimler, Volvo and Iveco.
“I’ve been lucky enough to work for some of the world’s leading heavy vehicle brands, but I’m extremely excited about this opportunity with Isuzu,” Rajeev says.
“The technology Isuzu is bringing to market has been extremely well conceived and thoughtfully developed to meet the demands of Australian industry, no matter what the application may be.
“The light-duty offer has been such a strong part of the brand’s success in this country for many years and considering the rapidly changing transport needs of Australian businesses today, I see a new standard being set with this rollout.
“Isuzu leaves no stone unturned, so I’m extremely confident this release will exceed expectations for existing and prospective truck buyers.”
Isuzu says it is increasing the capacity of its product department with a group of dedicated engineers tasked with ensuring the best outcomes for Australian operators.
The truck market leader has big plans for its imminent light-duty line-up, which spans a range of powertrain options and incorporates advanced technology.
“We’ve got an enormous job of bringing all-new products to the Australian market, and a core plank of that rollout, for a range of reasons, is our light-duty offer in both an internal combustion format and battery electric,” Isuzu Australia chief of product Matt Sakhaie.
“This new range is a genuine game changer for the brand and the industry overall. Having Rajeev join what is already an outstanding product team will assist Isuzu Australia in reinforcing its rock-solid, market-leading reputation.
“Rajeev has experience with a number of esteemed capital equipment brands and also in the EV space, which will be important as those powertrains come online in the next 24 months.”
