With either electric or conventional drive: New FUSO Canter and eCanter are versatile partners for construction or landscaping tasks
The all-electric FUSO Next Generation eCanter 7C18e 7.49 t as a Meiller Trigenius three-way tipper in a moss green paint finish is on display at the booth. The model on display (length 5.700 mm, width: 2.400 mm, height: 2.210 mm) shows all the new comfort and safety features from the 2024 update. The vehicle has a payload of around 3.6 t. The Meiller Trigenius side tipper body is characterised by its convenient and safe side wall operation (Meiller Bordmatic). A LED light ensures safe operation on both sides. The pendulum and fold-down side walls are easy to open and close manually, even by a single person, thanks to the relief system with spring mechanism. All side and rear wall locks have a standardized operating concept. The Meiller Trigenius three-way tipper offers extremely flexible and practical load securing with sturdy lashing lugs on the side panels (up to 2 t tensile force) and floor level (up to 8 t tensile force).
The vehicle has a mechanical power take-off (mPTO) that supplies the tipping hydraulics. The electric light-duty truck on display has an S-battery; a battery charge provides a range of 70 km. With the 7.49 t eCanter with S-battery, FUSO is offering a new, additional model configuration starting this year. This means that the eCanter can carry significantly more payload for use in the construction industry, opening up a wider range of applications for customers who use electric vehicles. As before, the Next Generation eCanter is available with two other battery configurations and, depending on the configuration, has a range of up to 200 km (on a single charge).
FUSO will show on the booth as well a wallbox available in the FUSO portfolio, as well as alternative low-cost AC charging solutions such as the NRG Kick charging cable.
In addition, FUSO is showing a diesel-powered 6.0-tonne Canter 6S15 in natural white with a WEHA flatbed body and crane, demonstrating another typical application for the light-duty truck in the construction industry. This variant, with a standard cab and small external dimensions (length 5.200 mm, width 2.200 mm, height 2.137 mm), is particularly maneuverable and is therefore ideal for demanding transport tasks and heavy loads on narrow roads.
