Fuso New Zealand has boosted its recently launched Enduro range with the addition of three new ready-for-work trucks.
This includes the 6×4 and 8×4 tipper, and a 6×2 curtainsider. The bodies are being built and fitted in New Zealand with all three now in monthly production.
The 8×4 FO3128 and 6×4 FJ2528 models are being fitted with Cambridge Welding Services (CWS) 6m and 5m tipper bodies, while the 6×2 FJ2528 will be available with a Tradesmen Motor Bodies curtainsider with capacity for up to 16 pallets.
Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews said the range now covers more bases for operators looking for reliable, no-nonsense trucks at a lower price point.
“New Zealand has a well-established market for this size of tip truck and curtainsider, so we are confident they’ll prove popular.
“We also know that a number of customers just want a truck on the job without delay. Enduro is already an easy truck for operators to get into, based on price and value alone.
“These new ready-for-work options will be even more compelling.”
Andrews says the partnerships with CWS and Tradesmen Motor Bodies (TMB) is “a natural fit” based on a shared reputation for good quality at an affordable price.
TMB’s 8.5-metre 6×2 FJ2528 curtainsider features an alloy roof panel, white flexi-sider curtains, full-length certified side tie-rails, Transtex ply floor and a two-tonne tail-lift with 2.5-metre alloy platform.
The FO3128 and both FJ2528 units are built around a Mercedes-Benz Axor drivetrain and chassis with high-torque 1,120Nm 6.4 litre engines and nine-speed synchromesh transmissions.
The FO3128 tares at 12,000kg and has a payload of 14,000kg, allowing operators to take advantage of the RUC benefits that come from running four axles.
The 6×4 FJ2528 has a maximum payload of 10,900kg, with the option of a 6,600kg front axle fitted with super singles.
Both tippers feature six-rod rear suspension with cross-locks to improve off-road traction, as well as full air brakes, ABS, central locking, radio with USB and auxiliary inputs, and a spring-park brake on the rear axle – standard across the range.
The 6×2 FJ2528 features semi-elliptic springs with offset load share and diff lock.
All models are backed by a 36-month, 200,000km manufacturer’s warranty with 15,000km service intervals.
