Isuzu Commercial Truck of America Inc announced that production has begun for the US market’s low-cab-forward medium-duty diesel engines to meet new emissions standards.

The company’s 2011 N-Series trucks equipped with the clean, powerful, and economical new powerplants have already began to roll off the line at Isuzu Motors Ltd’s factory in Fujisawa, Japan and will begin arriving in US dealerships in early August 2010.

According to Isuzu, the new N-Series trucks are the first medium-duty low-cab-forward trucks on the market to offer Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection to meet three requirements:

•Compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s 2010 emissions standards (EPA 2010), which require reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx).

•Compliance with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) HD-OBD requirement that trucks with more than 14,001 lbs GVWR employ on-board diagnostics equipment to monitor and verify NOx and particulates emissions levels.

•Clean-idle-certified.
