Isuzu Motors has established its first overseas leasing company, Isuzu Financial Services Australia. (IFSA), marking a major strategic milestone for the Japanese automotive group. Scheduled to commence operations in October 2026, IFSA will serve as a dedicated leasing entity for the Australian market.
The new venture is a joint initiative between Isuzu Australia (IAL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Isuzu, and Tokyo Century Corporation. IFSA has been capitalized at AUD 50 million, with IAL holding an 80% stake and Tokyo Century owning the remaining 20%.
Rising transportation costs and growing demand for vehicle uptime and operational efficiency in Australia have driven the need for integrated leasing solutions. IFSA aims to address these challenges by offering maintenance leasing combined with new vehicle sales, ensuring full lifecycle operational support for commercial customers.
The initiative aligns with Isuzu’s medium-term strategy, ISUZU Transformation, Growth to 2030 (IX), which focuses on reinforcing core operations and expanding new service models across global markets. The company’s mission, ‘Moving the World – for You,’ continues to guide its efforts to enhance customer experience through reliable and tailored solutions.
Takeo Shindo, Managing Director and CEO of IAL, expressed confidence that IFSA will fulfil long-standing customer expectations for a captive leasing program, leveraging Tokyo Century’s extensive leasing expertise. Toshio Kitamura, Senior Managing Executive Officer at Tokyo Century, called the collaboration a “significant milestone” and part of a broader plan to replicate successful international models in key markets such as Australia.
