Customers in the Canadian medium- and heavy-duty EV market have a new vehicle to consider: the Isuzu 2025 NN-EV.
This month the Japanese automaker received approval from Transport Canada to retail the electric version of their popular low-cab forward truck. The 2025 NRR-EV will come in four sizes of batteries: 60kWh, 100kWh, 140kWh, and 180kWh and is eligible for the $75,000 medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle federal purchase rebate.
“These are very exciting times for Isuzu and our Canadian dealers and customers. As the zero-emission market evolves, we are ready to elevate the customer experience with the NRR-EV,” says Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada (ICTC), in a press release.
“As fleets continue to add zero-emission trucks, the Transport Canada incentives are a big help in bringing those customers into the Isuzu brand.”
Isuzu manufactures its 2025 NRR-EV in Charlotte, Michigan since earlier this fall.
The NRR-EV will cost between $115,000 to $190,000 depending on the battery capacity.
But, in addition to the variety of battery sizes, Isuzu is offering different levels of warranty coverage for the NRR-EV.
To start: a three year/unlimited kilometres limited warranty or five year/unlimited km warranty for those who opt for the Isuzu360 connected vehicle platform.
(Isuzu360 is an online platform that allows real-time monitoring of vehicle performance, custom charging schedules and scheduling maintenance.)
As well, batteries have coverage from three years/93,000 km (60kWh) up to eight years/394,000 km (180kWh with Isuzu360).
Finally, EV powertrain components have coverage for three years/80,000 km or eight years/209,000 km with Isuzu360.
“The NRR-EV’s approval by the Canadian authorities really opens the door for customers to experience a great EV product,” says Skinner.
“The additional incentives will help with their purchasing and our warranty will give [customers]…peace of mind.”
ICTC headquarters are in Mississauga, Ont. Vehicle deliveries may be placed now and are expected to arrive to dealers in January.
