FUSO FIGHTER EURO 6 TAKES THE STAGE IN BRISBANE

Fuso Unveils Euro 6 Fighter at Brisbane Truck Show

Fuso will present an upgraded medium duty Fighter with Euro 6 emission technology at the Brisbane Truck Show from May 13 to 16.

The truck’s arrival means Fuso now offers a vehicle with Euro 6 ratings or better in all truck ranges, as well as light duty buses.

Cleaner Emissions and Advanced Safety Features

The Fighter Euro 6, which is now on sale, provides medium duty customers with an option of a durable Fuso truck with the latest emission technology as well as the latest safety technology including:

• Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS)
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

It also introduces optional Side Guard Assist technology, which can warns drivers of cars, objects, cyclists and pedestrians to left side of the truck that may have been unsighted.

Expanding Fuso's Lower Emissions Truck Range

Engines meeting the Euro 6 standard, which is yet to be mandated in Australia, produce significantly less diesel particulates and nitrous oxides than Euro 5 rated engines.

The new Fighter joins the heavy duty Shogun range and Rosa bus in offering customers a cleaner Euro 6 solution, while small truck customers can now add the all-electric eCanter range, which produces zero local emissions, to their fleets.

Refreshed Cabin for Improved Driver Comfort

The rigid Fighter, which is perfectly suited to local and intrastate freight deliveries, has also been given an interior upgrade.

• New multi-function steering wheel
• Updated instrument cluster with central digital display
• Redesigned dashboard for improved ergonomics

Commitment to Innovation and Safety

Fuso Truck and Bus Director, Alex Müller, says the Euro 6 Fighter is a welcome addition to Fuso’s continuously evolving range in Australia.

"We are continuously investing in practical innovation to help drive efficiency and raise safety for our hard working truck drivers and other road users in Australia and the Fighter Euro 6 is the latest example of this," he says.

"We are excited to introduce a Euro 6 emission engine and advanced safety package for Fighter and have a serious proposition for customers who are committed to driving down emissions and raising safety levels wherever they can," Mr Müller adds.

Upgraded Engine Delivers Smooth Performance

The Fighter’s trusted 7.5-litre 6M60 six-cylinder engine, which is available with 240hp and 745Nm or 270hp and 785Nm, has been upgraded. The outputs remain the same, although the 240hp unit achieves its maximum torque between 950rpm and 2270rpm instead of between 1100rpm and 2400rpm.

The latest engine technology and after treatment systems are used to ensure compliance with these stringent Euro 6 emission standards.

Versatile Configurations for Medium-Duty Operations

The Euro 6 Fighter range includes:

• FK, FM, and FN models
• 4x2, 6x2, and 6x4 configurations
• Various wheelbases
• Steel spring or air rear suspension
• Manual and automatic transmission options
• GVM ratings from 10.4 to 24 tonnes

Backed by Industry-Leading Vehicle Warranty

Fuso backs the Fighter Euro 6 with a generous manufacturer warranty which runs for five years or 300,000km to 350,000km (whichever comes first), with the distance depending on the truck specification.
