Isuzu Motors
The third generation BT-50 was unveiled in Australia on 17 June 2020. Unlike its predecessors, the BT-50 was developed from the third generation Isuzu D-Max. The pickup is a result of a tie-up between Mazda and Isuzu Motors which was announced on 11 July 2016, with Isuzu agreeing to supply pickup trucks to Mazda. An Isuzu executive told Australian media "CarsGuide" that Mazda had no involvement in the development of the D-Max, and that Mazda will be handed a finished pick-up truck instead. As the result, the TF BT-50 is built at Isuzu Motors plant in Samrong, Samut Prakan, Thailand.
