flag Isuzu starts $280M U.S. plant in South Carolina to build commercial trucks, hiring 700+ by 2027 with electric-ready production.

flag Isuzu Motors has begun construction on a $280 million assembly plant in Greenville, South Carolina, its first wholly owned U.S. facility, set to produce light- and medium-duty commercial trucks starting in early 2027. flag The plant, expected to employ over 700 people and reach annual production of up to 50,000 vehicles by 2030, will use a flexible production line capable of adapting to future demand, including electric models. flag While most components will be sourced domestically, some parts like truck cabs will come from Japan and face a 15% tariff under a recent U.S. trade agreement. flag The project, supported by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster and Japanese officials, marks a major boost to the region’s manufacturing sector.
