history

The Elf UT debuted on the home market in November 1996. As the name suggests, the technical basis is the Isuzu Elf , but the Elf UT was given a hood in the style of European panel vans. The UT, however, basically had the driver's cab of the 4th generation of the Isuzu Elf, although the 5th generation started a little later. In contrast to other competitors, the UT was not available with all-wheel drive. The engine used was the 4JG2 3.1 L diesel engine with a 1.5 ton payload and the 4HF1 4.3L diesel engine for the 2 and 3 ton payload variants. The transmission took place by means of a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. In August 1999 there was a technical revision with an improved braking system and reduced emissions. In addition, Isuzu has now also delivered a mobile home base and a minibus based on the UT. In October 2001 it was replaced by the Isuzu Begin .

In contrast to the Elf UT, the Nissan Atlas MAX was only available with 1.5 tons and 2.0 tons of payload. Otherwise, only the emblems differed from the Isuzu model.
