New Canter unveiled

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.

For 2008 Canter offers an improved turning circle and also offers safety features such as anti-lock front and rear disc brakes (standard on all models) and an optional drivers air bag.

Further adding to the comfort factor is an dash mounted gear lever, good cross-cab access, CD player, remote central locking, air conditioning and power windows.

In the Canter 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 models there is a big increase in power and torque, up by 6.8% and 28.7% respectively, over last year’s models due to a new 4.9 litre four cylinder engine now rated at 110kW/470Nm (92kW/294Nm in 2007).

A 130kW/530Nm 4.9 litre four cylinder engine is now in the Canter 4.5, which has resulted in a massive 26 percent increase in power and a whopping 45% increase in torque from the ‘07 models.

A five-speed manual is used in the Canter 2.0 to 4.0 range while a six-speed is used in the Canter 4.5 models.
