Red Bull North America has become the first customer for Isuzu’s new NRR-EV Class 5 electric box truck. The medium-duty trucks are now delivering cans of the neon-red sugar-and-caffeine concoction in Southern California. (We haven’t been able to learn how many units Red Bull bought, but a photo provided by the company shows six of the trucks.)

The NRR-EV is available with several battery configurations, ranging from three to nine 20 kWh battery packs (60 kWh to 180 kWh total). The nine-pack version boasts up to 235 miles of range with a 19,500-pound GVWR. A 150 kW (200 hp) electric motor delivers 380 lb-ft of torque.

Red Bull’s Isuzu trucks ship with a “big enough” battery capacity of 100 kWh, are fitted with a lightweight aluminum 6-bay beverage body, and have a 9,000 lb payload.

Isuzu began assembling NRR-EV trucks at its Charlotte, Michigan assembly plant in August 2024, and plans to expand customer deliveries nationally in Q1 of 2025.

“Watching the NRR-EV evolve from a concept to a viable operating product is a big deal,” said Shaun Skinner, President of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. “Our teams and our clients have put so much time and effort into making this happen, and it speaks to our teamwork and dedication to more sustainable transportation solutions.”
