- Engine and parts distributor serving light-truck and pickup workshops
Overview
A distributor serving thousands of light trucks and pickups wanted a dependable source of complete replacement engines in the 4JB1 family, the most common engine in their market.
Challenge
Workshops needed both turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions, with and without accessories, and the distributor needed clear labelling and mixed-container loading so engines could be sold from a single warehouse.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Light truck diesel engine | Isuzu 4JB1T, 68 kW @ 3600 rpm, turbocharged | 30 |
| Light truck diesel engine | Isuzu 4JB1, naturally aspirated | 20 |
| Light truck diesel engine | JMC JE493 (4JB1T-based), 68 kW | 10 |
| Long blocks | 4JB1 long-block assemblies for rebuild work | 15 |
Scope of supply
Specification sheet per variant, individual engine numbering and labelling, mixed loading of two 40 ft containers, FOB Shanghai, and a spare-parts price list for follow-on orders.
Outcome
The distributor sold through the first shipment ahead of forecast and placed a repeat order with a higher share of turbocharged units.
