Limited Edition Fuso Canter Celebrating 50th Anniversary

Fuso Canter

Fuso is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Fuso Canter’s Australian introduction with a special edition model.

The 50th Anniversary Canter is based on a 515, the best-selling model in Australia, and 150 are available now at Fuso dealers across the country.

These are Built Ready Alloy Tray models and feature special factory silver paint, 50th Anniversary Edition badging and custom seat covers.

Fuso is also running a competition to celebrate the milestone. Three customers of the 50th Anniversary Canters, who buy a vehicle before December 31, 2021, will win back the value of their trucks.

The standard specification of the Canter in 2021 is a world away from the original truck, which was quite bare apart the “flow-through ventilation” and “safety glass all-round” that were promoted in the advertisements of the time.

These days, the Canter 515 comes standard with a radar-based Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Lane Departure Warning System, a 7-inch high-resolution touch screen display and a driver’s airbag. While the original truck was manual-only, the new Canter is also available with an optional fast-shifting fully automated dual-clutch transmission.

Fuso has sold more than 73,000 Canters since the model was introduced in Australia after proving itself on the rough tracks of Papua New Guinea.

The current Canter features best-in-class payload and a generous warranty (five years/200,000km, whichever comes first) as well as 30,000km service intervals, making it a sensible choice.

Canter is available in a range of configurations from a 3.5 tonne car licence model to an 8.5 tonne version, along with City Cabs, Wide Cabs, Crew Cabs, Built Ready tippers, tray trucks and pantechs as well as a rugged 4×4 unit.

This year, Fuso started a new chapter in the Canter story by introducing the first OEM fully-electric truck in Australia; the eCanter.
