Isuzu C

The Isuzu C (Japanese: いすゞ・C系) was an integral heavy-duty bus that was produced by Isuzu from 1980 to 1984, replacing the earlier BU-series. The differences were mainly related to making the bus pass the stricter Japanese emissions standards introduced in 1979.^[1] The range was primarily available as city bus. Its successor was the Isuzu Cubic.^[2]
