Isuzu Expands Osaka Service Network With Major New After-Sales Facility

Isuzu Motors Limited announced plans to establish a large-scale new service facility in Takaishi City, Osaka, aimed at strengthening its vehicle inspection, maintenance, and pre-delivery operations in Japan. The company revealed that it will invest JPY 15 billion into the development project, with commercial operations expected to commence by the end of the fiscal year beginning in April 2028. The upcoming facility will consolidate multiple vehicle support functions into a single integrated location to improve operational coordination and customer service efficiency.

The new site will provide both new vehicle handling and after-sales support services for commercial vehicles. According to the company, the integrated approach is intended to create a smoother workflow for vehicle inspections, maintenance activities, and customer delivery preparation. The project also aligns with Isuzu’s broader efforts to improve service quality and reduce operational lead times for truck and bus customers across the region.

Key Details of Isuzu’s New Osaka Service Facility

The upcoming service site will include a dedicated “new vehicle center” responsible for conducting pre-delivery inspections, accessory installation, simple vehicle modifications, and coating operations. The company stated that the center is designed to shorten delivery timelines while improving operating efficiency for newly manufactured vehicles before customer handover.

Isuzu Motors Sales Ltd., headquartered in Yokohama City, will oversee operations related to the new vehicle center. Meanwhile, Isuzu Motors Kinki Ltd., based in Osaka, will manage after-sales support activities at the new facility. This operational split is expected to support specialized service management while maintaining centralized infrastructure.

Facility Scale and Infrastructure

The Osaka-based site will span approximately 100,000 square meters and will feature a total of 55 service pits dedicated to inspections and maintenance work. Isuzu described the development as one of the largest after-sales service facilities for trucks and buses in Japan, highlighting the company’s focus on strengthening long-term support capabilities for commercial vehicle customers.

The integrated infrastructure is expected to improve service turnaround times and provide consistent support for both newly delivered vehicles and vehicles already in operation. By consolidating multiple operational functions into one location, the company aims to enhance workflow efficiency and customer convenience in the Osaka region.
