FUSO’s new heavy hitter
New medium-duty truck has largest payload in its weight class
FUSO has developed a new medium-duty truck based on the existing platform of its popular light-duty Canter trucks, with the new vehicle to be rolled out in more than 40 countries worldwide.
“The all-new Canter medium-duty truck is a weight-lifting champion,” said Kai-Uwe Seidenfuss, senior VP of sales & after-sales for Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC). “Designed for optimum capacity without compromising on compactness or maneuverability, the new Canter 8.55-tonne truck sets the benchmark in offering customers the largest payload in its weight class.”
According to Seidenfuss, the very embodiment of the compact truck and its high degree of maneuverability are the standout features of the truck, with a GVW of 8.55 tonnes and a payload of up 6 tonnes.
Key innovations include DUONIC®, the world’s first dual-clutch automatic transmission for commercial trucks, and an optimised powertrain sharply reduces fuel consumption while offering a smoother drive.
