For individuals who are looking for a new truck with an impressive payload, the Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck from Fuso, needs to be near the top of your list. This vehicle is able to provide certain features no other truck can in its weight class, so for those construction owners and other service operators that are always on the lookout for a powerful, medium-duty truck with the payload capacity higher than many heavy-duty truce, the Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck is exactly the option that needs to be checked out.

The Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck is designed off of the Canter light-duty platform. However, while based on the vehicle, it has some rather significant improvements over the other truck. For starters, the truck has a payload of up to six tons, which is the largest medium-duty truck in its class. It is also going to be released in more than 40 countries, making it one of the largest universal releases of a work truck. It is going to hit the European market as the go-to truck, as it is designed and constructed by Daimler, the former part owner of Chrysler.

The Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck is based off of the light-duty truck in terms of keeping the vehicle compact. With so many cities throughout Europe designed before the concept of a motor vehicle, streets and alleyways are often incredibly tight and narrow. This makes moving the larger vehicles in and out of the city difficult to do, which is why so many American built trucks require significant redesigns before hitting the European market, as these trucks are simply too large to properly fit in the majority of Europe. The vehicle is going to go for sale in more than just Europe though. It is currently on sale in Australia and New Zealand, not to mention some Southeast Asian nations including Singapore. Singapore shares many of the same concepts as its European counterparts as the island itself is rather small, so having a more compact, yet powerful vehicle capable of towing and carrying a large amount of weight is very important. Best of all, it is going to offer the same cost efficiency as the light-duty version, so owners do not need to spend large amounts of money on the vehicle in order to maintain it. Fuel costs are far more expensive than what you would spend in the United States, so Australia, Singapore and the majority of Europe is typically on the forefront of fuel efficient vehicles. With the same cost point in terms of fuel as the light-duty trucks, the Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck is the perfect option for just about any construction crew throughout these areas of the world.

The Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck itself is a rather modest looking vehicle. The cabin itself is designed to fit two individuals with the capability of a third in the middle, although the cabin is generally designed only for two. The towing and storage area behind the cabin actually is wider than the cabin itself, which gives additional room inside of the vehicle for movement. This area, however, can be altered. While the vehicle and the cabin itself is factory designed, the placement of the storage unit can be altered, depending on what the needs are for the purchaser. It can be outfitted for construction work, or it can be designed for the transit and shipment of goods across the country. It can also take a refrigerated car for moving foods and other perishable items throughout the city. Basically, any company that is looking for a vehicle that can move heavier material than the light-duty truck, the Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck stands as the perfect option, as it can be tailor made for individuals looking for a helpful truck.

For manufacturers and distributors in over 40 countries, the Canter 8.55-ton medium-duty truck is likely going to become one of the most important vehicles in their lineup.
