en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fuso has updated its Canter series trucks, equipping them with new engines, seats, and enhanced interior features, while also introducing a new Built Ready alloy tray option for the popular 515 model. These changes do not diminish what Fuso calls the load-carrying advantage of almost all Canter series models over competitors.

The improved 3-liter four-cylinder engine maintains efficiency while now meeting Euro 6 emission standards. The 110kW version sees a torque increase of 30 Nm, reaching 400 Nm. The Fuso Rosa bus has been equipped with a local Euro 6 version of this engine since 2020, accumulating extensive practical experience with the new technology for cleaner exhaust emissions.

The most notable interior upgrade is the addition of all-new ISRI driver and passenger seats for all models (except the double cab), offering high levels of support and comfort. Another interior enhancement is the addition of an automatic mode for the air conditioning. Fuso upgraded the exterior design two years ago, so no changes were made this time, but fog lights have become standard, and LED taillights have been added.

Andrew Assimo, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Operations at Daimler Truck Australia Pacific, stated that the Canter's upgrades further enhance its appeal. The new comfort and performance improvements, combined with the Canter's load-carrying advantage, efficiency, and 30,000-kilometer service intervals, make it an indispensable tool for businesses.

Customers of the 515 model can also put it directly into service through the Built Ready option, which features a sturdy new alloy tray and comes with a series of upgraded features. These include gaps along the length of the tray to allow tie-down straps to pass under the tray sides, protected by rubber weather seals, preventing side bending caused by straps pulling down from the sides. Additional features include heavy-duty side rails, convenient steps, handrails, and a load divider. The taillights are also protected by an aluminum frame.

The Canter's 3.0-liter 4P10 engine now uses selective catalytic reduction technology and AdBlue for the diesel particulate filter. The engine offers two power and torque outputs: 110kW/400 Nm and 129kW/430 Nm. The Canter still offers a 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission (AMT) and a traditional 5-speed manual transmission, with manual take-up rates now dropping to around 10%. All Canter models can be driven on a car license. Customers can choose from numerous models, including single cab and double cab, wide cab, and narrow city cab, along with various different load ratings and a 4×4 model.
