The Isuzu car gets its name from the Isuzu River in Japan.
The river flows through a province dotted with ancient Shinto shrines.
Its beginnings date back to 1916 when Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Gas and Electric Industrial Co. make plans to produce automobiles.
The first truck is produced in 1924, although it is not until 1934 that the trucks are called Isuzu.
In 1949 the name Isuzu is officially adopted as the company name.
In 1971, Isuzu entered into a partnership with General Motors and the Gemini was produced.
In 1972, The Chevrolet LUV becomes the first Isuzu-built car to be sold in the United States.
In 1999, GM raises its stake in Isuzu to 49% , but in 2002 reduces this to 12%.
Isuzus corporate mark is the twin pillars representing corporate and societal growth against a sunburst red background.
