history

Typical walk-in van

Already 2002-2004 Isuzu offered by Begin in Japan already a primary for parcel services designed to vans, due to the low sales numbers, production was discontinued after two years.

In 2008, Isuzu and Utilimaster began developing a modern walk-in van for American parcel services. The Reach was presented for the first time on March 8, 2011. The official launch took place on October 31, 2011. From 2012 to 2013, Utilimaster relocated its headquarters within Elkhart County in the US state of Indiana from Wakarusa to Bristol . The production of the Reach was also relocated in 2012, but not to Bristol, but to a factory of the parent company Spartan Motors in Charlotte in the neighboring US state of Michigan.

body

Isuzu Reach with roller door

The Isuzu Reach is a panel van . It has sliding doors on both sides of the driver's cab. The rear can be equipped with twin doors or a roller shutter. The cargo area can be entered directly from the driver's cab. Together with the lack of a front passenger seat and a low cabin floor, these features should save time when entering or leaving the vehicle. When developing the body, Utilimaster attached great importance to an aerodynamic design of the body, which can be seen above all from the comparatively strongly rounded front. Together with the weight savings achieved through the use of composite materials , this results in lower fuel consumption than with walk-in vans with comparable performance. Compared to the Ford P700, FedEx states a fuel saving of 35%.

The reach is offered in two different lengths. The short version, known as the 12-foot body, has a cargo space that is 150.9 inches (12.58 feet or 3.83 meters ) in length and has a volume of 540 cft ( 15.3 cubic meters ). The long version, known as the 14-foot body, has a cargo space with a length of 171 inches (14.25 ft or 4.34 m) and a volume of 640 cft (17.8 m³). Depending on the version, the reach is 260.9 (6627 mm) or 281 inches (7137 mm) long. The curb weight is 8592 (3897 kg ) or 8733 lbs (3961 kg). Since the gross vehicle weight of both vehicles is 12,000 lbs (5443 kg), the result is a payload of 3408 (1546 kg) and 3267 lbs (1482 kg) respectively. The width of 88 inches (2235 mm), the wheelbase of 151 inches (3835 mm), the load compartment width of 82.5 inches (2096 mm) and the load compartment height of 80 inches (2032 mm) are the same for both lengths.

Originally, conventional doors for the driver's cab, a wheelbase of 134 inches (3404 mm) and an even shorter version called 10-foot body and a volume of 450 cft (12.7 m³) should be offered, but these options are not available mentioned on the side of Isuzu.
