FUSO FIRST FOR TRAFFIC TRUCKS!
FUSO Canter and Fighter are extremely popular traffic management trucks; proven over many years as being safe, reliable and great value in this application.
FUSO is famed for building durable and dependable trucks, with safety and efficiency front of mind. The range of wheelbase and single or crew cab options, with low tare weights across the Canter and Fighter range, provides adaptability for road crews of different sizes and with different equipment requirements.
Class-leading automatic transmission options, including FUSO’s own innovative and highly efficient 6-spd DUONIC II and robust Allison 5-spd and 6-spd automatics are ideally suited for low-speed operation during cone layout and collection.
Advanced safety features across both model ranges provide greater protection for drivers, passengers and other road users, and added reassurance for fleet managers and business owners. The Fighter range also features Euro 6 models options, while the all-electric eCanter has also been equipped as a zero-emission traffic management truck.

“The six-speed Allison automatic was an immediate attraction. We do a lot of crawling when we’re coning out; the auto makes it easier for our drivers to maintain an even pace, and also means they’re able to focus better on what’s happening on the road.”
Willy Roberston,
Tru Group
“We buy a lot of 816 Crew Cabs and for our single cab trucks, we usually buy 918s, because they’ve got a bit more power and you can get a good payload on them. The variety FUSO offers in the Canter range is outstanding and the availability is good as well.”
Chris Kerr,
Evolution Traffic
“We have 35 FUSO trucks currently. They’re durable; they stand up to the boys, who can sometimes be a bit rough. They’re versatile, they basically get anything we need done.
Canter traffic trucks
Class-leading, light-duty Canter trucks make excellent STM vehicles. Reliable, durable and safer than any other light truck on the market, they’re backed by an industry-leading 5yr/200,000km warranty.
Class 1 licence options across the range, including derated models, enable any driver to get behind the wheel, where ute-style comfort, advanced safety features and ease of operation are the name of the game – all of which make Canter ideally suited to traffic management applications.
Light tare weights maximise payloads of traffic cones, signage and other STM equipment.
The most popular choices as traffic trucks are the 7.5T and 8.5T crew cab options and 8.5T single cab. The FUSO Canter Crew Cab seats up to seven people – three up front and four on a wide bench seat in the rear. Air conditioning adds to in-cab comfort, while a lockable storage unit keeps gear safe in this double cab truck.
