The big winner in the Fuso heavy-duty lineup is the FP prime mover which received a significant power boost through an engine upgrade which sees it go from a 257kW to 309kW engine.

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

The 2008 models are fitted with new low emission ADR80/02 compliant engines with increased power and torque over the previous model.

The FP 4×2 Prime Mover in particular received a boost in muscle, gaining 20% more power and 16% more torque which will enhance the truck’s performance, especially in the mid range.

Central locking, cruise control, CD player, climate control are standard, making the driver’s work environment as comfortable as possible.

Whether spec’d for metro or long haul operation, the Fuso Heavy Duty series are brilliant to drive, with excellent ergonomics that ensure safe entry and exit from the cab and a dash layout that makes every control and gauge seem to be in its most logical location.

Driver’s vision from the air suspended seat is enhanced with a huge field of forward vision and strategic electric mirrors to monitor what’s going on behind.
