Isuzu Establishes International Distribution Center In Dubai

Isuzu Motors International FZE (IIF) announced a start of vehicle export to African countries from the International Distribution Center (IDC), established at the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The exports were scheduled after Isuzu Motor’s first export ceremony on January 26th, 2020.

“This new scheme can create a lot of benefits to customers by cutting a delivery lead time and adding more values. With those additional values, not only Africa, but we can also export to the Middle East and any other country in the world. We have a bright future.” said Mr. Kenji Matsuoka, Deputy President, Isuzu Motors International FZE.

This scheme of exporting vehicles from IDC is aimed to respond promptly to customers’ business needs from each African country by shortening the vehicle delivery lead-time from the current five months to two months. Furthermore, as the regional distributor, IIF can offer the vehicles with additional values such as a rear body installation, a chassis modification, a telematics installation, trade finance and to customers in the world. IIF has implemented its enhancement program of aftersales service through the authorized dealership network in 25 countries throughout Africa.

The first voyage will be for Liberia, and will include the flagship model NPR71H. IIF plans to expand the export capacity through IDC and optimize supply-chain-logistics from various perspectives.
