The gearbox adopts an all-aluminum alloy housing design, a full synchronizer structure, and adds Isuzu gear high-precision anti-deformation technology to increase service life.
In terms of chassis, the rear axle of Isuzu KV100 adopts a three-ton design, with a standard rear axle speed ratio of 5.571, and optional 5.575 or 6.142 speed ratios to meet different working conditions such as heavy-load transportation and long-term climbing. The suspension system is a front 3 and rear 3+2 leaf spring structure, focusing on standard load transportation.
In terms of vehicle size, the actual vehicle is 5995×2180×3150mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 3360mm.

Coming to the cab, the most significant change brought by the new KV100 is the application of Qingling Isuzu’s latest smart cockpit, which adopts a novel and feature-rich two-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and the instrument adopts a more simple and elegant interface. After starting the vehicle, the instrument “scanning” effect is very cool and more technological.
The air-conditioning vents and multi-function buttons surrounded by chrome trims create a stylish interior, and the oversized central control screen integrates functions such as truck navigation, audio and video entertainment, Bluetooth phone, mobile phone interconnection, and application downloads, making “life on wheels” more colorful. In addition, users can also use Qingling’s IVI intelligent network system to conveniently manage vehicles and help improve operational efficiency.
