Japanese Automaker has finally revealed the
Isuzu D-Max electric pick-up
globally. A concept version of the D-Max EV made its debut at last year's Bangkok Motor Show and the production version of the e-pickup truck has been unveiled at the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show, Birmingham. The production of the left-hand drive version intended for Europe is already underway, with deliveries to key European markets expected in the third quarter of 2025. The right-hand drive variant of the D-Max EV is slated to enter production toward the end of this year.
In terms of dimensions, the EV pick-up EV measures 5,280 mm in length, 1,810 mm in height, and 1,870 mm in width and has a 3,125 mm wheelbase. It has a kerb weight of 2,350 kg and claimed payload capacity of up to 1,010 kg and a towing limit of 3,500 kg.

pack paired with a motor producing 188 horsepower and 325 Nm of torque. On a full charge, it offers a WLTP-rated driving range of 263 km. Charging from empty to full takes around 10 hours using an 11 kW AC charger, while a 50 kW DC fast charger can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in about one hour. The EV pick-up also features multi-level regenerative braking and multiple drive modes.

Just like the traditional pick-up, the EV version also features a four-wheel-drive system. It now uses newly engineered e-axles at both ends, which is claimed to deliver the smooth, responsive acceleration expected from electric vehicles while keeping noise and vibrations to a minimum. It also features a Rough Terrain Mode and replaces the conventional leaf spring setup at the rear and the EV version adopts a newly developed
De-Dion rear suspension
, which contributes to better handling characteristics when compared to the leaf spring setup.
The pick-up has 210 mm of ground clearance and a water wade capacity of up to 600 mm deep. It has approach and departure angles of 30.5 degrees and 24.2 degrees, respectively.

Japanese frigate reaches Australia as Tokyo attempts $6.5 bn defence deal
A state-of-the-art Japanese warship has arrived in Australia as part of a high-stakes campaign to secure a $6.5 billion contract to build the country's next fleet of general-purpose frigates. The JS Yahagi, a Mogami-class stealth frigate from Japan's Maritime Self-Defence Force, is docked in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory in what appears a symbolic and strategic move aimed at strengthening defense ties with Australia and showcasing Japanese naval technology. Japan's bid, led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was short-listed in November for the Royal Australian Navy's SEA 3000 frigate project and is competing against Germany's MEKO A-200 offered by Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. The Australian Government is expected to select a preferred design later this year, with construction for 11 new vessels slated to begin the following year. Japan would jointly develop and produce the frigates for the Australian navy. Bolstering defense industry As part of its military buildup, Japan is pushing to strengthen its largely domestic defense industry by participating in joint development, including a next-generation fighter jet with Britain and Italy, and promoting foreign sales like the Mogami-class ships. In a sign of its commitment and heavy investment Japan has pledged to prioritize the RAN's order over its own naval procurement. The project not only serves to further deepen cooperation between Japan and Australia but also to enhance Japan's warship capabilities, Defense Minister General Nakatani has said. The Japanese Mogami-class design boasts advanced combat systems, anti-submarine and anti-air warfare capabilities, and mine countermeasure operations all operated by a lean crew of around 90, helping to address ongoing recruitment challenges in the Australian Navy. The vessel's commanding officer, Tamura Masayoshi, said the ship's smaller crew was an aim of the Mogami-class ship. The Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force thought we need stealth, and less people, and a little bit smaller ship, Masayoshi told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Closer military ties The JS Yahagi's visit to Darwin comes amid intensifying strategic cooperation between Canberra and Tokyo, both of which have emphasized the importance of maritime safety and security of sea lanes. The frigate's arrival is also seen as a gesture of Japan's growing role in regional security and its desire to align more closely with key partners like Australia. In September 2024, Australia and Japan agreed to increase joint military training exercises to address shared concerns of China's incursions into Japanese airspace and territorial waters. Two months later, defence ministers from Australia, Japan and the US held tripartite talks in Darwin to reaffirm their commitment to strengthening security ties and planning for joint military operations in northern Australia. Japanese marine units are also now included in annual training rotations of US Marines in Darwin.
