IFSA is a joint venture between IAL, holding an 80% share, and Tokyo Century Corporation (TCC), which holds the remaining 20%. This partnership aims to provide comprehensive financial solutions tailored to the needs of Australian commercial vehicle operators.
According to IAL Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Takeo Shindo, the launch of IFSA is a strategic move to enhance Isuzu's customer support offerings. By integrating finance solutions with vehicle sales, Isuzu aims to deliver a seamless experience for customers, covering all aspects of commercial vehicle ownership.
The new financial services will be accessible through Isuzu's extensive dealer network, offering maintained operating leases that include the vehicle and body, registration, comprehensive service agreements, roadside assistance, and other essential services. Notably, the asset risk and responsibility for disposal or resale at the conclusion of the lease will also be managed within this framework.
IAL Director and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Andrew Harbison, highlighted the benefits of this initiative for customers, emphasizing the importance of uptime and productivity in commercial vehicle operations. By providing integrated finance and maintenance packages, Isuzu aims to help customers manage their total cost of ownership more effectively, allowing them to focus on their core business activities.
The establishment of IFSA aligns with Isuzu Motors' medium-term business plan, which focuses on strengthening existing operations and evolving the company's product and service suite. This move underscores Isuzu's commitment to supporting Australian businesses with comprehensive and flexible financial solutions tailored to their needs.
