Isuzu breaks ground on $280M truck plant in South Carolina
Isuzu North America has broken ground on a 1,000,000 sq.-ft. production facility in Piedmont, S.C., marking a US$280-million investment in the U.S. truck market.
“This groundbreaking shows our deep commitment to serving North American customers,” Noboru Murakami, chairman and CEO of Isuzu North America said in a news release. “By building this plant, we are moving closer to our market, strengthening our ability to meet demand, and investing in long-term growth. The facility will create jobs, support the local economy, and secure our future success.”
Located in Greenville County, the site will serve as a production hub for the company’s medium-duty lineup, including the N-Series Gas, N-Series Electric, and F-Series trucks. The plant is expected to employ more than 700 workers by 2028 and will have the capacity to produce 50,000 units annually by 2030.
Production is scheduled to begin in 2027.
