CFAO Motors Nigeria Limited may be showcasing the agility and ruggedness of its recently unveiled range of Mitsubishi Fuso trucks as vehicle to watch in the Light Truck segment in 2016.

Though the Nigerian auto market is obviously not lacking when it comes to different brands of automobiles, particularly in the truck segment, CFAO may be fuelling the competition with its new models, the light-medium-duty (GVW 9-16 tons referred to as ‘FA’ / ‘FI’ and FK’/FM) and the medium-heavy-duty (GVW 25tons referred to as ‘FJ’).

Providing options to fit different customers, CFAO Motors’ marriage to Mitsubishi Fuso may not be surprising because of its collaboration between an outstanding motor distribution company with international reckoning and a leading name in auto manufacturing.

Recently, Mitsubishi Fuso Canter was voted as the Light Truck of the Year at the recently held Nigeria Auto Journalists Awards, an award that was received on behalf of the company by the Deputy Managing Director, Kunle Jaiyesimi and the Marketing Manager, Funmi Abiola.

The organisation said: “The Fuso Canter has always delivered outstanding safety and economy, even as the new generation Canter adds a performance dimension of drivers’ comfort. It has been designed from the drivers’ perspective which happens to upgrade the world standard for Light-Duty Trucks.”

The new models prioritize amenities and comfort for the driver. Generous interior dimensions, extensive storage space and advanced ergonomics combine to make the cabin a most relaxing place to work.

The engines have the power for light-duty needs with proven performance that comes hand in hand with durability, fuel efficiency, reliability, plus clean emissions for the environment.
With a wide range of available payload configurations, the Canter Series has the versatility for a great variety of applications with 3 different weight (GVW) ranges; 4.5 Tons, 6.5 Tons and 7.2 Tons.

The Chassis was built with strong, robust frame for versatile body solutions. The doorwell structural frame, side door beams, reinforced cab floor and box frame provides for a rigid cab structure.
