The HICOM Handalan (also known as DefTech Handalan) is a Malaysian truck developed by DRB-HICOM subsidiary, DRB-HICOM Defence Technologies (DefTech) in collaboration with Isuzu in 1996. It based on Isuzu FSS 32G where at the first phase of development DRB-HICOM gained a license to locally assembled Isuzu FSS 32G in Malaysia to replace the 3-ton truck already used by Malaysian Armed Forces.[1]
The development of the Handalan continued when DRB-HICOM able to improved the truck performance and replaced some of the Japanese-made components with locally made components thus easier for the user for the maintenance.[2]
Handalan trucks are developed in several versions namely Handalan I, Handalan II and Handalan III where each version received its owned upgrade and improvement based on latest needs.[3]
