Fuso PH proves fuel efficiency of Canter, FJ trucks in eco run

MANILA: Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP), which held its first Fuel Eco-Run Challenge in September 2022, demonstrated the fuel-efficiency of its Canter FE73, Canter FE85-S, and FJ 2528R products once more.

The second leg of the Fuel Eco-Run Challenge started in February 2023 along the same route from San Fernando, Pampanga to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Bagac, Bataan. The 158.3-kilometer course had a combination of city roads, suburban driving conditions, uphill and downhill areas, and traffic.

The trucks departed from Carworld Fuso Pampanga with loads totaling 8,000 kilograms for the FJ 2528R, 2,700 kilograms for the Canter FE85-S, and 1,000 kilograms for the Canter FE73 in order to simulate delivery and trucking scenarios and get accurate results. The Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) has witnessed and validated the results shown below.

Canter FE73 with Aluminum Van (Almazora)	11.22 km/l
Canter FE85-S with Aluminum Van (Centro)	7.15 km/l

We also ensure that our vehicles are maintained in as high-quality and durable manner as possible.”

The Fuso Fuel Eco-Run Challenge’s objective is to promote and advocate the fuel efficiency of FUSO commercial vehicles among existing owners and prospective buyers – to highlight fuel mileage, driving comfort, and the vehicle’s powerful performance.

Noriyuki Sekita, SFP EVP for Sales and Marketing added: “…our participating drivers will also be accommodated by our team to help achieve successful results and good mileage by applying correct driving techniques and following traffic rules.”
