Shyft Group and Isuzu Motors expand collaboration

Shyft Group (SHYF) announced the expansion of its close collaboration with Isuzu (ISUZY) North America, positioning Shyft to grow its business and establish new operations near Isuzu’s future production facility in Greenville County, South Carolina. Building on more than a decade-long relationship, the expanded collaboration is expected to create new revenue-generating opportunities, including a dedicated upfit and modification center and a new body program tailored for the North American market. As part of the transition, Shyft will continue assembling key Isuzu vehicle lines at its Charlotte, Michigan, campus throughout the multi-year production ramp-up in Greenville. Shyft’s assembly expertise will also support the planning and launch of the new facility. Shyft and Isuzu are also advancing plans to establish Shyft as a long-term upfit and vehicle solutions provider supporting Isuzu’s North American operations. As part of this effort, plans are progressing for Shyft to develop a dedicated upfit and modification center near the Greenville plant, expected to support Port-Installed Options, final vehicle modifications, and other upfit services for vehicles produced at the site. Isuzu’s 1,000,000-square-foot Greenville facility will consolidate production, vehicle preparation, and logistics operations under one roof. Initial production is expected to begin in 2027, with further expansion in 2028.
