Fuso says the eCanter is ideal for inner city transportation in dense urban areas. With 7m inhabitants in an area of 1,100 square kilometers, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated metropolises in the world.
Models for the Hong Kong market are produced at the MFTBC plant in Kawasaki, Japan and fitted in Hong Kong with bodies that meet local market requirements.
The eCanter is equipped with safety features such as Active Sideguard Assist 1.0 and Active Attention Assist and distributed by Universal Cars which has been selling Fuso vehicles exclusively in Hong Kong since 1976.
The country currently has Euro VI emission standards for trucks and aims to be completely CO2-neutral by 2050.
