Isuzu NPR Tractor Unit 16T: technical specifications
Converting a truck into a tractor unit: the key figures of the economical tractor unit.
With operating and fuel costs rising by the day and lower-emission vehicles becoming the necessary choice, we designed the ISUZU NPR TRACTOR UNIT 16T for bulky but low-tonnage loads.
Why an economical tractor unit?
With a gross combination weight of 16 tonnes, this tractor unit can pull a semi-trailer of the same volume as one hauled by a large tractor unit, and it is designed to cut operating costs by almost 50% and prevent unnecessary pollution of the environment.
