KARIYA, JAPAN, August 1, 2025 - (JCN Newswire) - BluE Nexus Corporation (headquartered in Anjo, Aichi; Hidetoshi Uchiyama, president; hereinafter “BluE”), AISIN Corporation (headquartered in Kariya, Aichi; Moritaka Yoshida, president; hereinafter “AISIN”), and DENSO CORPORATION (headquartered in Kariya, Aichi; Shinnosuke Hayashi, president; hereinafter “DENSO”) are proud to announce that, the eAxle jointly developed by the three companies has been installed in Isuzu's first battery electric vehicle (BEV) pickup, D-MAX EV, which went into production in April 2025.
The newly installed product combines the newly developed eAxle front and rear with a full-time *4WD system, contributing to both the tough basic performance required for pickup trucks (durability/loading and towing performance/rugged road drivability) and the linear acceleration and low noise and vibration characteristic of BEVs. The BEV is a 4WD system with a low-noise and low-vibration engine.
As D-MAX EVs are gradually expanded globally, starting with shipments to major European countries and gradually adapting to market characteristics and customer needs, this product will also provide high-performance drive solutions around the world.
Going forward, BluE, AISIN, and DENSO will continue to provide valuable technologies and products by leveraging their respective strengths and know-how. In addition, through BluE, we will contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by having our products installed in all types of electric vehicles.
*Full-time 4WD is a drive system that transmits power to both the front and rear wheels at all times, regardless of road conditions, including off-road and on-road driving.
