Canter Express Modern PUV achieves 8.8 km per liter in FUSO Fuel Eco-run Challenge conducted in Region 3

THE Canter Express Modern PUV (Class 3) achieved an impressive fuel consumption figure of 8.8km per liter over nearly 152.7 kilometers. This means that customers can save up to P6.30 per kilometer compared to traditional PUVS or jeepneys that travel with an average fuel consumption of 5.2km/l while simulating the actual PUV operating environment such as passenger load and road conditions during the FUSO Fuel Ecorun Challenge.

Based on the survey among modern PUV drivers, six to seven kilometers per liter is their benchmark for fuel efficiency. The FUSO Modern PUV was driven from San Fernando, Pampanga to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan, and all the way back within a single day. It was observed and certified by Automobile Association Philippines (AAP) and covered by its media partner, Autoindustriya.

The objective of the FUSO Fuel Eco-run Challenge is to promote and advocate the fuel efficiency of FUSO commercial vehicles among existing owners and prospective buyers — to highlight fuel mileage, driving comfort and the vehicle’s powerful performance.

“Moving forward, today’s activity is for us to testify the fuel efficiency of our product. Results will be included as part of the unique selling point and advantage of FUSO vehicles. We assure you that FUSO is ready to provide the best quality and hassle-free transportation to Filipinos across the country,” said Yosuke Nishi, the President and CEO of Sojitz Fuso Philippines (SFP).

Mr. Noriyuki Sekita, EVP for Sales and Marketing mentioned in his message, “The goal of this activity is to demonstrate the Unique Selling Point (USP) of our PUVS, which is fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. Our initiative is to showcase the efficiency of our vehicles under normal driving conditions for the benefit of operators and drivers.”

With the outstanding result, SFP is confident that the brand’s modern PUVS will continue to increase its market share across the country. To know more about the FUSO product portfolio, visit
