Daimler's Japanese commercial vehicle subsidiary, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus (MFTBC) has introduced a new body variant for its Canter Eco Hybrid light-duty truck in Japan.
The new hybrid truck version comes with a shorter and narrower body that reduces annual vehicle inspection and vehicle insurance fees, resulting in decrease of the total cost of ownership.
The new Canter Eco Hybrid truck is powered by a hybrid engine that combines a DUONIC dual-clutch transmission which is expected to increase fuel efficiency.
MFTBC manufactures the new hybrid trucks in two locations including Kawasaki in Japan and Tramagal in Portugal, while producing about 2,000 vehicles by August 2013.
