Get the Super Low down!
Lower running costs and improved performance in specialist freight applications are hallmarks of the new Shogun range – and that’s exactly what FUSO’s two 8x4 Super Low models deliver.
The 11-litre 400hp FS2540 and 8-litre 360hp FS2536 represent a first for any Japanese truck and are the only factory-new units of their kind available in New Zealand, protected by Fuso New Zealand’s extended warranty plan up to five years, or 500,000km.
With a chassis that sits just 844mm off the ground on 19.5” wheels, cushioned by front and rear four-bag trailing arm air-suspension, these low-riders are specifically designed to maximise freight capacity and ensure safe and easy loading of heavy equipment with a smooth ride for driver and cargo.
Road-tested in New Zealand with glowing feedback from Carr & Haslam and now hard at work with Porter Group and AJ Tutill & Sons, among others, Shogun Super Low delivers all the performance and reliability you’d expect from a Shogun with the added bonus of specialist build specifications aimed at freight and heavy machinery transport operators.
“Operator feedback has been extremely positive, with reports indicating significant fuel savings and noticeable ride stability and comfort,” said FNZ national sales manager Cameron Childs. “These models are an important addition to our range, delivering on our commitment to support the widest possible range of operator needs.”
