A subsidiary of the Japanese Isuzu Motors – Ulyanovsk JSC “Isuzu Rus” – eventually came under the control of the domestic “Sollers”. The Japanese, painfully unwilling to part with their possessions in Russia, had to accept the inevitable.

The first about the final departure of Isuzu Motors from the Russian market (almost a year and a half after the cessation of activities on it) was recently reported by the Japanese Kyodo news agency. In addition, the Japanese have not specified who exactly transferred control of the company’s assets. Later, Russian company Sollers issued an official press release announcing the completion of a deal to buy out the share of Japanese-owned Isuzu Rus JSC in an enterprise in the Ulyanovsk region.

Recall that the samurai froze their activities in the domestic market in March 2022. At the same time, the assembly of the company’s cargo models at its Ulyanovsk facilities was halted. In the fall of the 22nd, it became known about their thoughts about leaving Russia. Apparently, the Japanese side did not really want to part with their Russian possessions. But I had to.

Reportedly, it is Sollers who will provide spare parts for Isuzu trucks operated in Russia with their departure. And in the former facilities of Isuzu Rus, it is planned to deploy the assembly of cars of another brand. Most likely a load of “Chinese”.
