It can be hard working in the trucking industry and today etruck is getting a taste of reality for truckies in the city. Today’s test drive is of a Fuso Canter with a 6 speed auto box around the mean streets of the Gold Coast.
This is the kind of truck and transport task [...]

Today etruck is test driving a Fuso Canter fitted with six speed auto gearbox. First impressions are of a pretty smooth performer as we take it through the awful traffic of suburban Sydney.

Daimler Trucks has inaugurated its new Global Hybrid Center at Mitsubishi Fuso in Kawasaki, Japan. Located within the company’s R&D facilities, the Center will be the worldwide hub for Daimler Trucks’ hybrid development.

Fuso designers and engineers have come up with a refreshing new appearance for the Fighter, inside and out.

Fuso’s popular Canter range is back starting with the car license-friendly Canter 2.0 all the way up to the Canter 4.5 FE extra long wheel base, the longest wheelbase available.

Torque for the new Mitsubishi 6M70-6AT2 diesel engine has been significantly increased by from 1520Nm @ 1200rpm to 1620Nm @ 1100rpm. This extra torque should be especially noticeable at low speed (1000 – 1800 rpm range) with drivers able to feel difference between engines, especially at take-off.

Fuso’s heavy duty range remains largely unchanged from their predecessors, the thinking being “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Mitsubishi Fuso and Subversive Games has received an award from the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association (AIMIA) for their truck simulation PC game FUSO Truck Empire (FTE1).
