Fuso Canter

• High payload, flexible in operation

• Fuso Canter with "Ecofficiency" package

• Engageable all-wheel drive

• Low noise and emissions: Canter Eco Hybrid

• Canter E-Cell: Emission-free in the city

The Fuso Canter as a well-proven brand within the Daimler group outstandingly fills the gap between the light van and the medium truck. It covers a wide range of applications with gross weights from 3.5 to 8.55 t, various wheelbases from 2500 mm to 4750 mm and several cab variants. The Fuso Canter is equipped with rear axle drive (4x2) as standard and engines delivering from 96 kW (130 hp) to 129 kW (176 hp), and is produced in Tramagal, Portugal for the European market.

A top-of-the-range weight variant with a GVW of 8.55 t allows chassis payloads of up to six tonnes, setting the benchmark in this weight class. The models Canter 9C15 and 9C18 are equipped with the automated Duonic dual clutch transmission and the wide "C" (Comfort) cab as standard, and are available with efficient 3.0 l engines with a diesel particulate filter and BlueTec 6 SCR technology. ABS with electronic brake force distribution, an engine brake offering 50 kW of braking power and the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) all feature as standard.

Fuso Canter with "Ecofficiency" package

The Fuso Canter comes with the standard-fit "Ecofficiency" package comprising various fuel efficiency measures. These include higher injection pressures of 2000 bar, the use of low-friction engine oil, engine start/stop function and higher final drive ratios. The Fuso Canter is the all-rounder amongst light-duty trucks. With a perm. GVW of 3.5 tonnes it can be driven by anyone in possession of a valid passenger car driving licence. As a 7.49-tonne variant the Canter is toll-free in Germany, and ideal for holders of the former class 3 driving licence.

Engageable all-wheel drive

Special features of the Canter range include the variant with manually selectable all-wheel drive. In Europe this is marketed under the model designation 6C18 with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 6.5 t and an engine output of 129 kW (176 hp). New features for the Canter 4x4 include the standard-fit engageable reduction gear. The combination of robust design and off-road capability predestines the model series as reliable winter service vehicles with snow plough and gritter and as compact and agile waste collection vehicles. The vehicle width of just two metres allows the Canter 4x4 to easily pass through narrow gaps, such as are encountered in city use.

Low noise and emissions: Canter Eco Hybrid

The Canter Eco Hybrid consumes up to 23 percent less fuel compared to the purely diesel variant. The investment in hybrid technology can thus pay off after only four years. With the quiet, low-emission drive, the vehicle is suitable for public service operations in conurbations and other emissions-sensitive areas.

The four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with a displacement of 3.0 l, an output of 110 kW (150 hp) and maximum torque of 370 Nm is combined with an electric motor which is fully available right from the word go. The electric motor is a permanently excited synchronous motor with an output of 40 kW. The extra weight of all the hybrid components amounts to merely around 150 kg. This means that the load capacity of the 7.5-tonne model as a chassis with cab comes to 4.8 t.

Canter E-Cell: Emission-free in the city

The purely electrically driven Canter E-Cell is locally emission-free, and has proved itself in intensive practical trials in various industries. The six-tonner's electric motor achieves 110 kW (150 hp) and achieves an outstanding torque of 650 Nm, forming the basis for very powerful acceleration. The lithium-ion batteries in the electric truck have a capacity of 48.4 kWh. The Canter E-Cell thus has a range of more than 100 kilometres. The load capacity of the chassis is 3000 kg.

Show exhibits

Three variants of the Fuso Canter are on display in Munich. On the stand in the hall, a Fuso Canter 7C15 with a suction body shows that it is ideally suitable for inner-city operation and especially for drainage work. Its key advantages are a turning circle of only 10.4 m and its certified transmission cooling for continuous operation of the power take-off.

Among the exhibits in the outside area, visitors can familiarise themselves with a Fuso Canter 7C18 as a rear loader with a Faun body and with a Fuso Canter 6C18D 4x4 as a three-way tipper by Meiller with an Aebi Schmidt front mounting plate for winter service equipment.
