Isuzu Truck UK has expanded its driveaway vehicle build programme which will now include factory-backed JC Payne 3.5t dropsides .

Building on Success

As part of Isuzu’s Driveaway Programme, JC Payne already builds 7.5 tonne box and curtainsider bodies, available with a variety of options including column or tuckaway tail lifts. The programme continues to go from strength to strength, driven by consistent build quality, robust engineering standards and dependable lead times.

Following this success, Isuzu has now expanded the partnership to include:

3.5 Tonne Dropside Bodies

JC Payne will now manufacture 3.5t dropside bodies directly for the Isuzu Driveaway Programme, further strengthening the range of ready-to-work vehicles available through the Isuzu dealer network.

The new dropside range will be available in:

  • Two wheelbase options

  • Two body lengths

This flexibility ensures the vehicle offering meets a broad range of customer requirements across construction, landscaping, utilities and general fleet operations.

Proven Quality, OEM Confidence

The extension of the programme reflects Isuzu’s confidence in JC Payne’s:

  • Engineering capability

  • Production consistency

  • Quality control systems

  • Technical compliance

  • Ability to deliver volume builds to agreed specification

All vehicles are built at our Aldridge facility and designed to meet the operational demands of modern fleets, balancing durability, payload efficiency and whole-life value.

Strengthening the Partnership

This latest development reinforces the strong working relationship between JC Payne and Isuzu, underpinned by shared standards and a collaborative approach to delivering market-ready vehicles.

We look forward to continuing to support Isuzu’s dealer network and customers with high-quality, ready-to-work vehicles across both the 7.5t and 3.5t sectors.
