The First Light-duty Truck in Japan*1 with Active Side Guard Assist Standard
Taking Safe Performance to a New Level
For the first time in Japan, Mitsubishi Fuso’s unique Active Sideguard Assist™, which reduces the risk of accidents involving left-turning vehicles, is now standard equipment on light-duty trucks. When turning or changing lanes to the left, the system predicts the area where the vehicle will pass and detects objects within the area. When the driver operates the steering wheel or blinker, a warning buzzer and a warning light on the passenger side door pillar alert the driver. In addition, the system detects vehicles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle*2 and assists the driver in avoiding a collision or mitigating damage from a collision by using the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS). Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps detecting any risk of skidding or overturning on corners. Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)*4, which alerts the driver when a vehicle departs from its lane without giving a directional signal to minimize the risk of an accident, and various other safety features support safe and nimble driving to make daily work safer and more enjoyable. *5

Our Never-Ending Quest for Better Economic and Environmental Performance
The 4P10, the high-performance 3L engine that supports the Canter®’s powerful driving performance, has evolved into the 4P10+. Based on the Euro VI engine, which has a proven track record in Europe, the ATS, oil pan and turbocharger have been improved. In addition to realizing even better fuel economy, the new engine also contributes greatly to improved engine reliability. In addition, we have introduced the EX Plan, which extends the warranty on specific parts such as the engine itself to 8 years/180,000 km, to support peace of mind for even longer.
LED Lights for Safer Operation Regardless of Roads, Weather or Time of Day
LEDs have been adopted for the headlights and door-side side turn lamps. The fog lights that have been available as an option have also been changed to LED. The bright white light improves visibility at night, making it easier to spot obstacles and other objects and supporting good visibility. They also contribute to lower running costs by saving power and extending service life. The headlights are equipped with a leveling switch to adjust the optical axis angle.
LED headlights*1, LED door-mounted turn signals*2, LED fog lamps*3 support driving visibility at night and in bad weather.
*1 Halogen headlights are also available (optional). *2 LEDs are used on the door side and incandescent bulbs are used on the front side. *3 Available as an option.
FUSO Easy Access System*1 Makes Repeated Vehicle Access a Breeze

Overcome Tough Road Conditions with 4WD
Stable City-Driving Even in Bad Weather. Standard Cab All Low-floor Full-time 4WD.
Full-time 4WD means no need to switch between 2WD and 4WD. The center differential distributes driving force to the front and rear wheels in the normal ratio of 30:70. In addition, the center differential absorbs the difference in rotation between the front and rear wheels for added stability. The tight corner braking phenomenon during low-speed turning is also eliminated.
Available on Vehicles Over 5 Tons Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
All low-floor full-time 4WD (standard cab) models are available with a GVW of over 5 tons, which boasts a generous load capacity. All models are equipped with an independent front suspension system for superior ride comfort.
Viscous LSD
When a difference in rotation occurs due to slippage in either the front or rear wheels, the viscous LSD restricts operation to ensure stable driving.
Minimum Turning Radius 5.1m (For some standard-bodied models)
The minimum turning radius is 5.1m, making it easy to maneuver. It is also suitable for delivery work in narrow city areas.
All Low-Floor Body for Easy Loading/Unloading with Generous Cargo Bed Length
The standard body has a generous cargo bed length of 3.1m. It is also equipped with flat small-diameter radial tires on the front and rear wheels, and the low floor level makes for smooth cargo handling.
A System With Theft-Prevention in Mind
The FUSO Easy Access Key is also equipped with an immobilizer (anti-theft device) function. A mechanical key is also available in case the battery should run out.
Full-time 4WD vehicles are mainly designed for general driving in urban areas. They have a low minimum ground clearance and are not designed for driving on uneven terrain. It is effective for driving on snow-covered or icy roads, but please avoid overconfident driving on 4WD.
