TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2019: ISUZU TRUCKS WINNERS
As we go into 2020, it’s time to have a quick look back on 2019’s Truck of the Year competition and its winners.
Held by Isuzu Australia Limited, the Truck of the Year competition is arguably Australia’s longest-running truck competition; it was started in 1996 and is still going strong more than 20 years later. The competition not only showcases the Isuzu trucks that owners and operators take great pride in, but also the diverse range of applications and industries these trucks operate in.
The first Truck of the Year competition, appearing in the 1996 issue of Truckpower magazine.
Isuzu Australia Limited National Sales Manager, Les Spaltman, said that the truck competition is one way to recognise loyal customers, and celebrate their beloved Isuzu trucks. Mr Spaltman said, “Our customers are at the core of Isuzu Trucks’ success and our product development. “We couldn’t have achieved what we have without the backing of the Australian truck buyer. “Competitions such as Truck of the Year are a way for us to show our appreciation of our customers’ continued support of the brand. “It’s also a nice platform that brings together a community of like-minded truck owners who take pride in their trucks, which for many, are at the core of their businesses.” A winner is chosen each month from a pool of submitted entries, and the year’s monthly winners go into the yearly draw for the Grand Prize of $6,000 (Visa cash card). And in 2019 the competition was amped up further, with the introduction of the Series Prizes for the N Series, F Series, FX/FY Series and Giga truck models; each Series prize is to the tune of $1,000 in a Visa cash card. The 2019 Truck of the Year Grand Prize goes to Powered Innovations, the monthly winner for October, and the Series prizes are awarded to the following:- N SERIES | Powered Innovations (also Grand Prize winner)
- F SERIES | Vac Truck Rentals
- FX/FY SERIES | Target Transport Services
