Vehicle Description
THIS 2000 ISUZU ELF NQR IS LOCATED IN: SUN VALLEY, CA 91352
The Isuzu Elf is a medium duty truck produced by Isuzu since 1959.
Outside Japan it is known as N series. The range was originally
mainly available in Japan and other Asian countries. Australia was
another important market for the Elf and N series - to the extent
that it was manufactured there from the 1970s using many local
components. Since the early 1980s, it has also been sold and built
in the United States (under the Chevrolet and GMC brand as a
W-Series), and also as the Isuzu N-Series. North America only
receives the wide-cab version.
For the common Andinian market (including Chile and Peru), the
truck has been assembled in the GM-Colmotores assembling plant in
Bogot�, Colombia since 1991, with annual quantities already of
20,000 up to 60,000 units. Local assembly has been increasing
because of increasing demand in the Colombian and neighboring
markets. It carries "Tecnolog�a Isuzu" (with Isuzu Technology)
lettering.
In Indonesia, Philippines and several other countries, the Elf is
not only used as a truck, but also converted into microbuses by
local body makers. The lighter four-wheeled models are commonly
used as an intercity Angkot (share taxi), as a school bus, or as an
employee bus.
Fifth generation
The fifth generation Isuzu Elf appeared in July 1993, with more
sculpted headlights. The 2.8 4JB1 and 4JB1T are standard on both
Elf 150 10 ft/14 ft and Elf 250 along with 3.6 4BE1. The non turbo
4JB1 featured a new VE Rotary injection pump which increase power
to 90 PS. In May 1995 it received a minor change, including
upgraded, cleaner diesel engines. The H-series 4.0-liter 4HE1 and
4.3-liter 4HF1. The 16 ft chassis with H-series engine was standard
while the 14 ft version was optional and is still in production. An
OEM deal with Nissan led to the Elf also being badged as a Nissan
Atlas and a Nissan Diesel Condor 20/30/35 beginning at this time,
followed by the Nissan Atlas Max from 1996 until 2000. The Atlas
Max was based on the new, lighter duty Elf 100 (June 1995) which
was available with a 2.0-liter petrol or a 2.5 or 2.7-liter diesel
engine.
