A world best-seller among light trucks and a real sales hit for Daimler Trucks: the Fuso Canter is at home in all continents and clocks up six-figure sales figures year after year. At the end of last year Fuso introduced the latest generation of the Canter in Europe and extended the range at the beginning of this year with all-wheel-drive models. Two of the technical refinements of the Canter are the Canter Eco Hybrid, now manufactured in series in Europe, and DUONIC, the first dual-clutch truck transmission.
The DUONIC dual-clutch transmission is one of the most outstanding technical features of the Fuso Canter, which is currently the only truck in the world with this technology. In addition to lower fuel consumption, the transmission is gentle to the major assemblies, reduces the burden on the driver (particularly on short journeys) and combines the comfort of an automatic with the economy of a manual transmission. The DUONIC dual-clutch transmission is based on a six-speed manual transmission and as an alternative, there is also a manual five-speed transmission.
Both transmissions are connected to a four-cylinder turbodiesel engine which conforms to the Euro V or EEV emissions standards. With its 3.0 l displacement, the engine is available in three output levels: 96 kW (130 hp), 110 kW (150 hp) or 129 kW (175 hp). As the maximum torque of each engine variant covers a broad engine speed range, the Canter is a model of pulling power and drivability.
