Fuso has introduced an improved Canter range with a new exterior look and improved multimedia unit.
Boasting class-leading payload and longer service intervals than its competition, the Canter now features a new exterior design with LED headlights that are 30 per cent brighter, with LED turn lamps on the lower door sections.

It also has a new bumper and a fresh grille that is capped with a black strip featuring the Fuso badge, which is referred to as the Black Belt design, matching the recently introduced new generation all-electric eCanter.
Daimler Truck Australia marketing and operations vice president, Andrew Assimo says the updated Canter will be appreciated by drivers.
“The Fuso Canter has long represented a fantastic business case thanks to its class-leading payload and 30,000km service intervals,” he says.
“This upgrade really adds to its appeal, and we know the new features will be welcomed by our customers.”
The trusty engine and transmissions of the Canter have been largely left alone by Fuso, apart from some minor internal revisions and a slightly larger sump on select models, the contemporary interior design remains unchanged.
Canter customers will benefit from an important upgrade of the 8-inch multimedia media unit and due to customer feedback, Fuso has added wireless Apple and Android connectivity, removing any need for cables and adaptors.
The multimedia unit has upgraded processing and memory performance and integrated accessory capabilities.
It displays the footage from the reversing camera that comes standard with all Canter models, while footage from up to five additional cameras can also be shown on the screen.
All Canter models, including the FG 4×4 Canter, receive the upgrades that come with the facelift.
Fuso was the first brand to introduce Advanced Emergency Braking System AEBS to the light truck range back in 2019 and this system, along with Lane Departure Warning (LDW), is standard on all Canters except for the off-road oriented 4×4.
