The Cherkasy Bus Plant (Cherkasky Bus), known for its Ataman buses, plans to launch an Isuzu pickup assembly line this year.

Auto-Consulting writes about it .

Updated pickup ISUZU D-Max pickup

Currently, the company manufactures buses for private and government orders, and also assembles trucks based on Isuzu units.

The main source of the plant’s income is the implementation of contracts with Ukrainian communities under the government program “School Bus”. The profit received from the supply of equipment for educational institutions is directed by the plant to the expansion of production and new projects.

One of these projects is the production of Isuzu D-Max pickups, which are already on the Ukrainian market. They are also used by the security structures of Ukraine. The purpose of the plant is to partially satisfy the growing demand for pickups for the Defense Forces of Ukraine and to ensure a percentage of localization of equipment and a large base of components for quick and high-quality repair of pickups.
