Mitsubishi Fuso Canter

Mitsubishi Fuso Canter of the current 8th generation in Spain

The Fusō Canter is a light commercial vehicle from Mitsubishi Fuso (part of Daimler Trucks ), built since 1963 in the 8th generation .

Production and sales

Initially, the Canter was only exported to Southeast Asia, but other regions were quickly added, e.g. B. Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and, from the mid-1980s, the USA. Indonesia (there as “Colt Diesel”) has been the single most important export market for many years, followed by the Middle East and Taiwan. Overall, the Canter is sold successfully in over 150 countries around the world. In addition to Japan, Daimler / Fuso has its own Canter plants in Chennai / India and Tramagal / Portugal. There are also final assemblies from CKD kits in some other countries, e.g. B. Egypt, the Philippines, Venezuela, Turkey and Russia. With a local delivery rate of 50%, the Tramagal u. a. all of Western Europe (EU plus Norway and Switzerland).

product

The Canter was originally a narrow vehicle with a 2-ton payload. Since around the 4th generation, the range has been increasingly expanded and today, very different products are hidden behind this name. During the 5th generation, the Japanese Fighter Mignon was probably sold in Europe as the “Canter 7.5 Tonner” or “Canter FH”. The Canter now offers 2 parallel delivery programs (8th generation and General Export model), each with narrow and wide versions from 3.5 to 8.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. In some markets, the Canter family today also includes Canter Guts (rebadged Nissan NT400 ) and CanterVan (rebadged Nissan NV350 ). In addition, there are local adjustments including the engines.

In 2010, still in the 7th generation, new, more environmentally friendly drive trains with engines from Iveco / FPT and transmissions from ZF were introduced in Tramagal . The 8th generation with these "world engines" is delivered to developed countries with strict exhaust emission limits, and it is also available as an eco-hybrid and as a fully electric eCanter . For the less developed countries, the general export model based on the 7th generation is supplied.

1962–1968 1st generation T720

The original Canter was the successor to the T710 produced from 1960 to 1963 and had two round front headlights, while the 1964 facelift had double headlights. With a payload of 2 tons, it was available with the 90 hp KE42 gasoline engine or the 68 hp 4DQ11A diesel engine.

1968–1973 2nd generation T90 / T91

2nd generation T90

Its 4DR1 diesel engine developed 75 hp, and in July 1970 a new 4DR5 diesel engine with 2.7 l displacement and 80 hp was introduced. There were also 2 petrol engines, the KE42 known from its predecessor with 66 kW @ 4800, and the more powerful KE47 with 70 kW @ 4500 and 172 Nm @ 2800 rpm.

1973–1978 3rd generation T200

3rd generation T200 (1976)

The 200 series was divided into the types T200 / 210 with 4DR5 80PS diesel engine and T205 / 215 with KE47 gasoline engine with 2.315 l and 74 kW, there was also the KE42 gasoline engine with 1.995 l and 70 kW. In January 1975 the petrol engines were replaced by the 4G52 (1.995 l, 74 kW) and 4G53 (2.384 l, 81 kW @ 5000 rpm). There were different wheelbases and platform heights and also a variant with a 3 ton payload.

1978–1985 4th generation FE1 ../ FE2 ..

In Japan, with the 4th generation, variants with 3 tons of payload and wide vehicles with 2 and 3 tons of payload were introduced in addition to the well-known narrow vehicle with 2 tons of payload. In February 1980 power steering followed for the wide vehicles, and at the end of the same year a narrow 1.5 ton truck and a wide 3.5 ton truck. From November 1982 new direct-injection diesel engines 4D30 (naturally aspirated) and 4D31 (turbo) with 90 and 117 hp (66 and 86 kW) were added. Depending on the source, these engines had slightly higher outputs of up to 100 or 130 hp (74 or 96 kW). From December 1983 there was a 1.5 ton truck as a "Walk Through Van". All information here are payloads.

4DR51A is a 4DR5 or a subset. 54 kW is probably wrong because the 3rd generation engine is said to have already had 59 kW.

1985–1996 5th generation FB ... / FE3 ../ FE4 ..

The delimitation of the Canter to other models by Fusō appears a bit blurred. In Japan, for example, there was the Fighter Mignon, a fighter frame with a Canter cabin and 4 t payload. Due to the same look, it was apparently marketed in Europe under the well-known Canter brand with a total weight of 7.5 t. In addition, there were increasing local adjustments to the respective markets. Due to the expansion of the program, increasing internationalization and emerging emissions regulations, there was also an expansion of the engine program to the point of uncontrolled growth. Until the takeover by Daimler in 2003, up to 3 different engines were used one after the other in individual markets during a generation in a performance class.

Shortly after the introduction of the 5th generation in July 1986, all-wheel drive was available for the Canter with a payload of 2 and 3 t. In January 1987, one year after the introduction of the 5th generation, the lightest Canter with a payload of up to 1.5 t was renamed Canter Guts. It is possible that this name change was only made in Japan. The Guts had the 4DR5 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.65 l and the narrow driver's cab as a single or double cab. In November 1989 there was a facelift and optimization of the exhaust gas behavior, in July 1991 ABS as an option.

1996-2005 6th generation

The 6th generation of the Canter was introduced in Japan from November 1993, and in Germany in 1996. In November 1995 variants followed in narrow with 3.5 t and in wide with 4 t payload (total weight estimated 6.5 t and> 7 t). At least in Japan for Guts, the switchable 4WD with crawler gear was changed to permanent 4WD in October 1997. In Germany, from 2002 onwards, all Canters, including the 3.5-tonner, were allowed to tow trailers up to 3.5 t in weight. In 2004, a facelift followed with some models being given ABS .

2005–2012 7th generation

The 7th generation of the Canter was introduced in Japan from June 2002, in Germany in 2005. The main development goals were a modern vehicle, better safety (new: disc brakes, some xenon lights) and more comfort, e.g. B. the wide driver's cab was 20mm higher and extended by 100mm to the front. For better freedom of movement in the cab, the gearshift lever has been relocated from the engine tunnel to the dashboard, a world first for forward control trucks.

In Japan, until the 7th generation was phased out, it was apparently possible to use engines without SCR filters; in Germany, engines from the previous generation were initially taken over, then replaced by Mitsubishi engines with common rail injection and finally by modern engines from FPT . From the start of production of the 8th generation , these “world engines” will also be used in Japan and in developed countries around the world with strict exhaust emission limits. For less developed countries there are also the General Export models .

In connection with the failed cooperation between Daimler (then DCX ) and MCC , Fusō was spun off from MCC and stayed with Daimler. In addition, there were always new scandals and the repeated cover-up of reportable problems. Probably to set itself apart from this past, the appearance was very quickly gradually differentiated from Mitsubishi. With the introduction of the 7th generation, the Mitsubishi Canter became the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter and finally with the 8th generation the Fuso Canter , the diamond logo was retained but changed from red to silver at MCC.

General export model FE / FG

The ever stricter exhaust gas limits resulted in ever higher manufacturing costs and complexity, e.g. B. Common rail injection and exhaust aftertreatment. For less developed countries, simplified vehicles with the old Mitsubishi engines and manual 5-speed gearboxes (in the most powerful engine without synchronization for 1st and reverse gear) were introduced. These General Export models are based on the 7th generation and are still available today (2018) parallel to the 8th generation. Engines that correspond to Euro 4 have been offered in the Philippines since the beginning of 2018.

2012- all wheel drive

In Japan (and probably also internationally), Fusō has been supplying the Canter with all-wheel drive since the 5th generation, and in the 7th generation it was in Europe for selected customers (Pfau in Springe, insolvent) for narrow vehicles with 3.5 - 7 t total weight available. Narrow (and wide) vehicles of the 8th generation with 5.5 to 7.5 t gross vehicle weight and all-wheel drive were also offered by Pfau, although the regular program only includes a wide 6.5-ton truck with all-wheel drive.

Eco-hybrid

Based on the 7th generation of the Canter, the first generation of the Canter Eco-Hybrid was delivered in Japan . With a curb weight of 2.83 t the payload was 2.0 t, with a payload of 3.0 t the curb weight was slightly higher at 2.87 t.

The Eco-Hybrid based on the 8th generation is delivered in Germany as a wide 7.5 ton truck and is equipped with a 40 kW electric motor / generator and a 2 kWh lithium-ion battery in addition to the 110 kW diesel engine with Duonic® transmission. The parallel hybrid with the electric motor arranged between the engine and the transmission enables fuel savings of 20%.

2012– 8th generation

The eighth generation came on the market in 2012. Since production of the Mercedes-Benz Vario was discontinued in 2013, the Canter has also been offered as its successor (below the Atego ).

The Canter range includes chassis with a gross vehicle weight of 3.5 to 8.55 tonnes with driver's cabs in 1.7 (S) or 2 meters (C) width, the latter partly also as a double cab (D), although a narrow one is also being used in New Zealand Double cabin offered. Country-specific, some superstructures are also supplied ex works (in Japan: box, wing and refrigerated box, in Europe: flatbed and tipper). The narrow vehicles are not offered in some markets, e.g. B. USA and UK.

The engines with 96 - 129 kW known from its predecessor in Europe are now used worldwide. In addition to the manual 5-speed gearbox, a large number of variants are also available with 6-speed dual clutch gearboxes (Duonic®). In addition to the 110 kW diesel engine, the Eco-Hybrid is equipped with a 40 kW electric motor / generator and a 2 kWh lithium-ion battery. The 3.5 tonne trucks have independent wheel suspension at the front, and all Canters can be supplied with a power take-off on the gearbox.

In the USA, the 8th generation Canters are offered as FE / FG trucks (although FE / FG is also used as the sales name for the general export models). The term “Canter” is used there for the first time for the all-electric eCanter , which was first delivered at the end of 2017 in New York. Around 500 more are to follow in individual production by 2019 the eCanter will be available in series. The "Gas Truck" has been available in the USA since March 2018, a Canter with a 6.0 liter GM Vortec V8 petrol engine and Allison automatic transmission. This is manufactured at Freightliner in Gaffney / SC, USA.

2013– Canter Guts

From 1987 to 2008 (in Japan ???) Guts was the name for narrow 3.5 ton trucks (precisely: max. 1.5 t payload) within the Canter family. In order to appear uniformly as a Canter, this designation was abandoned, or the Guts (1.5 t max. Payload) based on the 7th generation was discontinued in 2008. In 2013, the name Guts was reintroduced, as Daimler / Fusō and Renault-Nissan agreed in 2012 to supply each other with vehicles in Japan. Nissan sells the Canter models from 2 tons payload as Nissan NT450 (H24) , Fusō the Nissan NT400 (F24) with 1.5 tons payload as Canter Guts .

The Canter Guts based on the NT400 is obviously specially adapted for the conditions of the Japanese market and differs significantly from the NT400 known in Germany:

• Width reduced to 1.7 m from 1.87 m,
• Height reduced to 1.99 m from 2.135 m,
• Length limited to a maximum of 4.69 m instead of 4.75 to 6.25 m in Germany,
• ZD30 engine power reduced to 81 kW,
• manually switchable 5-speed gearbox instead of 6-speed,
• different heights of the loading area including reduced wheel sizes on the (driven) rear axle.

The Canter Guts is powered by a Nissan ZD30DDTi diesel engine with 81 kW @ 2800 rpm and 276 Nm @ 1260-2800 rpm or by a gasoline engine. In addition to the manual 5-speed gearbox with overdrive and rear-wheel drive, an automated manual 6-speed gearbox or a selectable all-wheel drive with crawler gear is also available. The cabin is 1.7 meters narrow and there is also a double cabin on request. As with the other 3.5 tonne trucks in recent history, the front axle has independent wheel suspension. At the end of 2019, the production of the Nissan NT400 (F24) in Japan was discontinued, at the beginning of 2020 a rebadged Isuzu Elf followed as the successor Nissan F25, for the Canter Guts no successor is known.

2014 - CanterVan

In 2014, Fusō and Nissan Trucks expanded their cooperation, and in some markets the Nissan NV350 has been sold by Fusō as CanterVan .

Model codes and their meaning using the example of the 6th generation

1st letter	2nd letter	1st digit	2nd digit	3rd digit
F = steering wheel	B = 3.5t	5 = cabin, standard	3 = VA suspension 3.5t	1 = motor 4M40
	E = over 3.5t	6 = cabin, comfort	4 = VA suspension up to 5.9t	4 = motor 4M42
			5 = VA suspension from 6t	9 = motor 4D34

Each model can be identified by these codes. However, these codes vary from series to series and are therefore not universally applicable (Canter types 1 to 8). Properties such as wheelbase, body, crew cab, etc. are encoded in the extended coding.
