Since refrigerated trucks are not subject to the same engine displacement restrictions as light trucks due to environmental concerns, the Isuzu 4JJ1 engine is highly sought after for its high-power configuration. Today, we’ll be taking a closer look at an Isuzu refrigerated truck equipped with this coveted “magic machine” engine.
▎3.0T 170 Horsepower Dual Compressor
The new-generation 4JJ1 engine is the standout feature of the ELF, having placed significant pressure on many domestic light trucks upon its initial release.
The 4JJ1 engine boasts a 4-cylinder 16-valve design, capable of producing a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm at 1800 rpm, equating to 57 horsepower per liter. Additionally, the 4JJ1 engine can output torque of 350 Nm at 1000 rpm, providing the driver with greater control when the vehicle is in motion or creeping.
Moreover, at idle, the 4JJ1 engine speed is only 600 rpm, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption during stop-and-go traffic in urban areas, as well as contribute to a quieter driving experience.
It is matched with Getrag aluminum shell 6-speed manual transmission. Like ZF, Getrag is also a local German company. It is not as famous as ZF and Aisin, but Getrag also manufactures transmissions for Ferrari and Volvo, and the quality is absolutely reliable.
To achieve optimal heat preservation, the door is a critical component of refrigerated trucks. The upper door of the ELF refrigerated truck utilizes double-layer rubber strips to achieve superior sealing and effectively prevent cold air loss, thereby reducing the vehicle’s fuel consumption.
Additionally, the ELF’s refrigerated truck is equipped with a dual-compressor configuration, whereby the cab and cargo compartment cooling systems are arranged independently. This design ensures that both systems operate autonomously and effectively maintain the desired temperature.
ELF comes with shock-absorbing seats imported from Japan, significantly improving the level of comfort when compared to similar products in terms of interior configuration.
The ELF’s interior design prioritizes practicality over extravagance, with a predominance of dark colors and a lack of overly ornate or excessive elements.
An outstanding feature of the ELF is its full LCD instrument panel, a relatively uncommon feature among light trucks. The display is clear and highly responsive, adding to the overall appeal of the vehicle.
The large ten-inch touchscreen on the center console supports functions such as vehicle networking, Bluetooth, and smartphone connectivity, and is designed with a blue color scheme that matches that of the instrument panel.
Although the button of the air conditioner is a knob-type manual air conditioner, the overall shape and texture have been greatly improved. At the same time, the cooling effect is also very good, and the air conditioning is very sufficient.
The refrigerated truck and cold chain transportation industry is a highly demanding and capital-intensive market segment. Tighter delivery schedules, costly bodywork, and high-value cargo have led to significant demand for high-powered vehicles.
Furthermore, the surging demand for refrigerated trucks from the fresh food e-commerce sector is expected to continue driving growth in the market. As a result, the refrigerated truck industry presents a highly promising future outlook.
