The FUSO Canter 3.5t

The FUSO Canter 3.5 t is ideally suited for use in the city and urban environments. Its compact dimensions and the design as a front steer without a nose make it extremely agile, manoeuvrable and shunting-friendly.

With the smallest turning circle in the 3.5-tonne class – 10.2 m with a wheelbase of 2,500 mm – and due to the excellent all-round visibility, Canter drivers can get further wherever they would have to shift into reverse gear with another van. All this, additionally, with increased driving comfort thanks to the standard independent wheel suspension on the front axle.

Speaking of getting further: With up to 5.7 m – at a wheelbase of 3,850 mm – the Canter 3.5 t is also the leader in its segment in terms of maximum body length.  

Its characteristic steel ladder frame – in frame widths of 700 mm or 750 mm, depending on the cab variant selected – gives the Canter chassis remarkable robustness and load-bearing capacity. This is complemented by above-average maximum axle loads – 1,950 kg on the front axle and 2,500 kg on the rear axle – and up to 3.5 tonnes permissible towing capacity. The Canter 3.5 t is a real light truck, everything else is just a van.
