The Reach has all the right ingredients to make it an immediate hit thanks to all of these benefits:

• Isuzu leads the market with fuel economy, reliability and emissions technology. All that translates into the Reach offering customers the lowest cost of ownership in the class 3-5 truck business.
• Combine that with Utilimaster’s body-on-frame design with versatile “logistic track” quick-attach tracks in the cargo area, and the Reach provides a level of flexibility and long-term durability that’s second to none.

With the Reach’s combination of commercial-grade quality and timeless styling, Isuzu performance and Utilimaster versatility is destined to be a winner. It provides extended life and optimizes return on customers’ transportation investment.

For some of your customers, the Reach’s greatest competitive advantage is the clever flexibility of its interior design. Multiple design features maximize the Reach’s vocational utility.

The Reach offers a versatile interior space that can be tailored to your customers’ particular needs through a variety of vocational packages. These integrated vocational modules take full advantage of the Reach’s impressive interior height and width and are engineered for quick and easy installation without drilling or additional body modifications.

Reach vocational packages are available factory- or dealer-installed, or your customers can order the vocational packages from you, their local Isuzu dealer, and install the packages themselves.

Reconfiguration is just as simple as installation. Vocational modules are designed with quick quarter-turn fasteners for ease of installation—or removal—in minutes.

The Reach offers maximum cargo capacity. By comparison, traditional cargo vans can lose up to 134 cubic feet of usable cargo area/shelving due to the large, curbside cargo doors that slide open for entry to the cargo area.

Improved Driver Productivity

For safety, ease of use, flexibility, productivity, and lower overall cost of operation, the Reach truly achieves new heights.

Isuzu and Utilimaster engineer’s spent years devising ways to improve commercial vans and maximize delivery timesavings.

The driver cab sliding door requires less time to exit and enter the cargo area than vans with a conventional hinged front door.

The walk-through design keeps team members safe and out of the weather. Conventional cargo vans require the driver to exit the vehicle, walk around the vehicle, then re-enter through the side or rear doors. The unique walk-through configuration of the Reach commercial van can save seconds per stop, minutes per day, and hours per month.

Integrated Safety

Attention to detail is the hallmark of the Reach design—especially when it comes to driver safety.

Reach is available in two models:

• 151-inch wheelbase with 12-foot body
• 151-inch wheelbase with 14-foot body

The interior provides 540 or 630 cubic feet of storage plus up to 27 inches more headroom than a conventional cargo van and ten inches more aisle width than a European van. The Reach’s cargo area enables your drivers the ability to quickly and easily accomplish the job without crawling on their knees or leaving product back at the shop.

Some of the Reach’s features are obviously intended to enhance safety, such as the vehicle’s high visibility tread-grip carbide entry steps, integrated yellow cab-entry handle, ergonomic dashboard controls, and optional back-up camera with seven-inch LCD color monitor.

Some safety items are more subtle and reflect how thoroughly the Reach’s designers understand the needs of a commercial work truck. For example, the Reach’s best-inclass 15-inch step-in side-door means the average driver can easily enter and exit the vehicle. Likewise, the 80-inch-high interior work area and 50-percent wider aisle allow larger, taller drivers to safely and comfortably work upright inside the vehicle.

The Reach’s 4JJ1-TC diesel engine is not just powerful, durable and economical—it’s also surprisingly quiet. In fact, it’s substantially quieter than diesel engines found in current walk-in vans. This reduces driver fatigue, and thus increases driver safety.

Even the Reach’s cab and windshield have been designed to increase visibility. Whereas traditional vans have a blind spot on the ground for several feet directly in front of them, Reach drivers can see the road as close as 106 inches away. Reach drivers have an expansive view when working in tight areas or on residential job sites.

Applied Ergonomics

Ergonomics are just as important under the hood as they are in the cab. The engine compartment provides easy access to common maintenance items: wire routing and connections are conveniently placed, brake fluid, the high-capacity 1.2-gallon windshield washer fluid reservoir, fuse block and snap-fit battery cover are all, appropriately enough, within easy Reach.

Even the engine location was designed for maximum legroom, allowing for easy driver ingress and egress.

The chassis design offers another plus: a tight turning radius that makes maneuvering the Reach quick and easy. In fact, the Reach offers the turning radius of a conventional cargo van—but with double the cargo capacity.

In the world of commercial vehicles, the introduction of a truly new vehicle is a rare occurrence. That’s why the all-new Reach™ is so important. The Reach has a fresh, new design that will not only appeal to your existing customers, but it also opens new markets with customers who need the convenience of a walk-through van.

The Reach has what today’s business owners want:

• A true commercial-grade vehicle that delivers reliable performance year after year.
• A timeless style that will still look great ten years from now.
• Fuel-efficient design—thanks to its lightweight, aerodynamic Utilimaster body and efficient Isuzu diesel powertrain, the Reach delivers up to 35% better fuel economy* than a traditional commercial van.
• Reach is the first in its class to offer Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection, which reduces NOx levels in engine exhaust emissions by 85%.
• A “time-efficient” design thanks to its low step-in combined with its pass-through design—drivers get in, out and back quicker than ever.
• Altogether, these features provide you with a commercial vehicle that can “reach” a wide range of vocations -- everything from package delivery to food distribution, contracting to cleaning services, and moving and storage to heating and air conditioning. And with the Reach in your dealership, you can expand your customer based to include all of these applications.

* Compared to class 3-5 commercial walk-in vans testing conducted by independent, certified party.

Reach for a Lower Cost of Ownership

The beauty of the Reach is its ability to dramatically lower your customers’ cost of ownership, no matter what kind of walk-in van they are using today. Here’s how Isuzu and Utilimaster achieved such astonishing fuel economy and a lower cost of ownership:

• Engine & Powertrain: It starts with the state-of-the-art Isuzu 4JJ1-TC 3.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, standard in every Reach commercial van. This powerful, economical, long-lasting example of Isuzu engineering has been proven in demanding business applications around the world.

  The 4JJ1-TC’s dual overhead camshafts eliminate pushrods to minimize power-robbing friction. Its common-rail fuel injection system optimizes the most energy out of every drop of fuel. And a cast-aluminum cylinder head reduces weight while four valves per cylinder ensure optimum breathing efficiency.

  The standard Aisin heavy-duty, six-speed automatic transmission has been specifically engineered to work with the Isuzu diesel engine to achieve optimal performance and economy. Its double overdrive reduces fuel consumption and engine noise at highway speeds, plus the automatic lock-up torque converter in second through sixth gears reduces engine heat and virtually eliminates power loss.

• Lightweight Aerodynamic Van Body: Isuzu’s fuel-efficient powertrain is mated to a versatile Utilimaster body designed to be as economical as it is practical.

  Utilimaster employs impact-resistant, lightweight molded body panels. The structural components are a hybrid of aluminum and highly engineered polycarbonate sandwich panels—the end result is a corrosion-resistant body that is 600 pounds lighter than walk-in vans of equivalent lengths.

  In addition, the shape of the Reach body was optimized, thanks to extensive wind tunnel testing. The resulting aerodynamic design cuts through the air with a drag coefficient that is 13.1% lower than current competitive vans.

• Ecological Throughout: Improved fuel economy not only reduces cost of ownership, it helps the environment as well, and one of the Reach’s greatest advantages is its small carbon footprint.

  The Reach’s engine meets the most stringent emissions standards in the world. Isuzu’s 4JJ1-TC engine comes with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection reducing NOx levels in engine exhaust by 85%.

  Another eco-friendly feature, the Reach’s stepwell liners and front wheelwell liners are molded from recycled tire product.

  Be sure to point out to your customers that environmental friendliness is engineered into every Reach—not added on after the fact. That means that every Reach that replaces a conventional walk-in van will have a significant impact on reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

  If your customer’s current van is driven 20,000 miles a year, the Reach’s fuel economy could save them as much as 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year—all while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 11 tons per year!

  That’s more than a mere improvement—this is a lower cost-of-ownership revolution.

  Now, uncompromising performance with an ecological advantage is within Reach.

Additional Reach Benefits

Reach distances itself from other commercial vehicles, thanks to a van interior that is extremely quiet and driver efficient. The driver’s seat is only one step from the cargo area, either a 12 ft. or 14 ft. walk-through workspace.

Another important benefit—inside the Reach are integrated “logistic track” quick attach tracks. They make it quick and easy to install popular vocational packages using simple quarterturn fasteners—allowing the Reach to quickly adapt to your customers’ business needs. And for more specific vocational applications, a certified Utilimaster Upfit Specialist can help your customers customize their Reach commercial vans.

If your customers are concerned about the environment, let them know that all of our 2011 and newer diesel engines – including our N-Series models and the new Reach commercial van – are compatible with B20 biodiesel blends – making Isuzu the first LCF manufacturer to approve B20 for its U.S. market spec engines!

The U.S. biodiesel industry is ramping up for its biggest year yet, with expected production volumes of at least 800 million gallons of biodiesel in 2011 to meet requirements under EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS-2) program.

“In looking for ways to lessen our environmental footprint while also improving fuel economy, we realized that our customers can more easily afford a high fuel-efficiency, B20-compatible diesel vehicle running on biodiesel blends than some of the very expensive hybrid vehicles out there,” Isuzu Commercial Truck’s Retail Marketing Manager, Brian Tabel said. “Biodiesel just makes sense.”

So be sure your customers are aware that when they figure the true cost of ownership, Isuzu commercial vehicles offer the best value for the money.
