The venture is a joint undertaking between IAL, holding an 80% share, and Tokyo Century Corporation (TCC), a global financier with a 20% stake. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive financial solutions tailored to the needs of Australian truck buyers.
Takeo Shindo, Managing Director and CEO of IAL, emphasised that the launch of IFSA aligns with Isuzu's strategy to offer an industry-leading product and service suite covering all aspects of commercial vehicle ownership. He highlighted that Australia is regarded as a premier market for Isuzu worldwide, and the establishment of IFSA is a testament to the company's dedication to supporting its customers throughout their vehicle ownership journey.
IFSA plans to offer maintained operating leases available at the point of vehicle sale through the Isuzu dealer network. These leases will encompass the vehicle and body, registration, comprehensive service agreements, roadside assistance, and other services, providing a seamless and integrated solution for customers.
For businesses and individuals seeking truck financing, the introduction of IFSA presents an opportunity to access tailored financial products directly from the manufacturer. This integrated approach can simplify the financing process, offering competitive rates and comprehensive support throughout the vehicle's lifecycle.
As the Australian truck market continues to evolve, initiatives like IFSA demonstrate a proactive approach by manufacturers to meet the diverse needs of their customers, ensuring that financing solutions are as robust and reliable as the vehicles themselves.
