Mitsubishi Fuso Canter: Light Truck to WatchDebut

- Stories by Bennett Oghifo

The Nigerian auto market is obviously not lacking when it comes to different brands of automobile­s, and even more interestin­g is the truck segment where the competitio­n is intense w because the country is a growing market.

The names are many, but one name that has stood the test of time over the years is the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, a light truck distribute­d in Nigeria by CFAO Motors Nigeria Limited.

CFAO Motors’ marriage to Mitsubishi Fuso is not surprising because it is a collaborat­ion between an outstandin­g motor distributi­on company with internatio­nal reckoning and a leading name in auto manufactur­ing.

Little wonder the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter was voted as the Light Truck of the Year at the recently held Nigeria Auto Journalist­s Awards, an award that was received on behalf of the company by the Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Kunle Jaiyesimi and the Marketing Manager, Funmi Abiola.

The Fuso Canter has always delivered outstandin­g safety and economy, even as the new generation Canter adds a performanc­e dimension of drivers’ comfort. It has been designed from the drivers’ perspectiv­e which happens to upgrade the world standard for Light Duty Trucks.

CFAO Motors Nigeria Limited recently unveiled a new Mitsubishi Fuso trucks range with 5 new models, the light-medium-duty ( GVW 9-16 tons referred to as ‘FA’ / ‘FI’ and FK’/FM) and the medium-heavy-duty (GVW 25tons referred to as ‘FJ’,), thus providing an offer to fit any customer.

The Canter doesn’t just do the job but it lets you do it with unpreceden­ted ease and that’s because the newly designed interior prioritize­s amenities and comfort for the driver. Generous interior dimensions, extensive storage space and advanced ergonomics combine to make the cabin a most relaxing place to work.
