We went BIG in the 80s. Big hair, big suits, big phones and, starting in 1982, the first big FUSO heavy-duty truck.
Now it’s time to go even bigger with the new FUSO Shogun 530, a 13-litre hauler with the biggest power figure of any Japanese truck – 530 horsepower. It can haul big weights too, up to 70 tonne GCM, and comes packed with advanced safety.
FUSO Shogun 530. Because bigger has always been better
As the flagship of Fuso’s heavy truck range, the Shogun is built for demanding interstate transportation and distribution and high GCM combination work. This is a heavy-duty truck is designed to handle proper loads over proper distances.
Available as both a prime movers and heavy rigid trucks, the Shogun range gives you flexibility. Whether you’re running a national freight company or managing a regional fleet, it’s built to get the job done.
Explore the Fuso Shogun Configurations
Every fleet runs differently. Some businesses are focused on long-haul prime mover work, pulling at high GCM across major freeways. Others need a heavy rigid truck that can consistently carry serious payloads across metro and regional routes.
The Fuso Shogun range covers both.
Prime mover truck variants, including 4x2 and 6x4 configurations, are designed for linehaul and combination freight where torque, stability and durability matter most. Heavy rigid configurations deliver strong GVM capacity for interstate delivery and distribution operations.
