2012 CANTER
Delivering lower cost-of-ownership.
Our all-new Canter® Series cabovers redefine everything you want in a business vehicle. They’re designed to outperform competitive trucks with better fuel economy than previous models. Up to 2,200 pounds greater payload capacity. Exceptional visibility and maneuverability. Plus, 18,000-mile maintenance intervals for maximum uptime and less scheduled maintenance. All backed by a nationwide network of highly-trained and dedicated dealers, and an industry-best warranty that protects not only the engine, but also the entire powertrain, for up to 5 years/175,000 miles.
These trucks will change the way you think about moving your products and business forward, with cost-of-ownership so low you can measure it by the mile. In fact, if you drive as few as 20,000 miles annually, a properly driven Canter can move several thousand dollars to your bottom line in operating cost savings in just three to four years. And it’s just getting started. Imagine how far its dependable performance and lower costs can take your business.
The Canter Advantage.
The new Canter FE/FG Series truck features advanced technologies from Europe, Asia and North America, combined to deliver the lowest cost-of-ownership we’ve ever engineered into a medium-duty truck. Though the Canter name is new to North America, Canter trucks have been operating worldwide for more than 30 years, and are well recognized for their proven quality, strength and durability.
The new Canter offers your business an advantage in better fuel economy than our previous models. An advantage in servicing, with scheduled maintenance intervals extended to 18,000 miles. An advantage in payload, with an edge of up to 2,200 pounds over competitive trucks. Plus, an advantage in return on investment. Driven as few as 20,000 miles annually, a properly driven and maintained Fuso Canter can deliver a big boost to your bottom line – saving you several thousand dollars in operating costs in just three to four years – and for many dependable years thereafter. Canter FE/FG Series trucks offer the kind of performance and rock-solid reliability that you can build a business on.
Completely re-engineered from the wheels up, the Canter is among the most forward-thinking medium duty commercial trucks ever. And its comfortable cab isn’t just beautiful, it offers more head, leg, knee and elbow room.

Advanced Technologies
Some trucks bring together engines and transmissions with little or no engineering partnership between the manufacturers, which can compromise powertrain performance. Not the Canter. Its 4P10 diesel engine and DUONIC transmission are perfectly matched, developed to work together and proven in more than 2 million miles of real-world testing.
Engine
The Canter’s turbocharged, dual overhead cam 4-cylinder diesel engine is a technological marvel. Lighter and more compact than traditional diesels, it delivers its flat torque continuously from low through high RPMs, to move payloads more efficiently. It is complemented by a 2-stage turbocharger to produce optimum boost pressure over a wider range of driving speeds. The more precise fuel metering of Piezo direct injection also helps the engine achieve far greater combustion efficiency and fuel economy.
DUONIC Transmission
Automated manual transmissions have been proven over many years in race cars. Mitsubishi Fuso’s 6-speed DUONIC transmission is the world’s first in a commercial vehicle. It combines the economy of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic, with dual clutch actuation and no torque interruption between shifts. It also incorporates the ability to creep in traffic for smoother operation and offers the advantage of ECO mode, upshifting earlier in heavy traffic to consume less fuel.
BlueTec®
The engine uses environmentally friendly BlueTec® emissions control technology (also found in Mercedes-Benz automobiles and Freightliner trucks). BlueTec® treats emissions after they exit the engine using a diesel particulate filter and urea SCR system that meet today’s stringent standards for NOx and CO2 emissions reduction, without the traditional fuel economy penalty. BlueTec® is simple to operate and easy to maintain.
