Following the unveiling of the safest light-duty truck available in New Zealand, Fuso NZ has announced an all-new extended warranty that raises the stakes in the light-duty truck segment even higher.

The five year/200,000km bumper-to-bumper extended warranty is believed to be a first for the transport industry and will provide operators additional peace of mind that not only are Canter drivers better protected, but so too is their investment.

“We believe this is the first warranty of its kind in the light truck market,” says Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews. “It’s simple: the warranty extends from 36 months/100,000km out to 60 months/200,000km. This is a huge amount of value delivered at no additional cost, with the only stipulation being that the customer services the vehicle at an authorised Fuso dealer.”

“The additional standard safety features we’ve added to Canter this year1, such as active emergency braking, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control, make it New Zealand’s safest light-duty truck – our extended warranty means it also has the most comprehensive manufacturer backing of any light truck on the market,” says Andrews.

“We understand what operators expect from a truck and have always been committed to delivering on that,” says Andrews. “Canter has always been a popular light-duty truck in New Zealand – a tried and trusted investment for single-unit owner-operators to giant multinationals.

“All of these additions are about aligning Canter with our new ‘We look after our own’ positioning. We want our customers to feel safe on the road and safe in their investment. We know that helping them look after their asset will add a positive return to their bottom line.”

1 Safety upgrade excludes 4×4 models.
