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.

This innovative solution, which integrates newly developed front and rear eAxles with a full-time 4WD system, ensures the rugged performance expected from a pickup—durability, towing capability, and off-road drivability—while delivering the smooth acceleration and low noise and vibration that define BEVs.

As the D-MAX EV begins its global rollout—starting with key European markets—this high-performance drivetrain will support the growing demand for electric mobility tailored to diverse driving environments and customer needs.

By combining the expertise and technological strengths of BluE, AISIN, and DENSO, we remain committed to delivering next-generation electric drive systems and contributing to a carbon-neutral future across all types of electric vehicles
