DAIMLER LAUNCHES NEW MODEL FUSO CANTER ECO HYBRID TRUCK IN JAPAN

摘要

German automaker Daimler's Japanese commercial vehicle subsidiary, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, has launched the sale of its latest model Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid truck in Japan. The light duty truck, which celebrated its world premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 2011, will also be introduced by Fuso in Europe and other international markets in the third quarter of this year. The predecessor model of the new Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid was launched in 2006. More than 1,200 of the right hand drive trucks have sold in markets like Japan, Australia, Ireland and Hong Kong. The hybrid variant of the Fuso Canter volume truck also proved itself during a three-year fleet test in London from 2008 to 2011. The positive response it has received led to the decision to offer the second generation model in both right and left hand drive versions.
