For many Filipino business owners, reliability and innovation are the backbone of growth. Recognizing this, Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP), in partnership with Centro Manufacturing Corporation (CMC), proudly unveiled two new purpose-built body applications for the FUSO Canter: the F-resh Van and the F-Lift.
These new offerings build on the success of the F-Wing launched in 2022, and further cement FUSO’s reputation as one of the preferred partners of Filipino entrepreneurs—providing mobility solutions that adapt to the evolving demands of local industries.
F-resh Van: Refrigerated Van – Designed for Filipino Businesses
The F-resh Van is fully Japanese-designed and engineered, ensuring durability and performance that meet international standards. Manufactured by Nippon Fruehauf, its refrigerated van bodies have passed the rigorous Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) tests, guaranteeing reliability even in demanding operations.
Built with eco-friendly materials such as Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) for superior insulation and recyclable aluminum panels, the F-resh Van balances sustainability with efficiency. Cooling is powered by the C-Temp system, equipped with a trusted Japanese-brand compressor for stable, energy-efficient performance.
With a 2-year or 100,000 km warranty, the F-resh Van offers peace of mind for Filipino entrepreneurs in the cold-chain sector, ensuring their products reach customers fresh and on time.
F-Lift: Tadano Crane – Empowering Heavy-Duty Operations
The F-Lift combines the proven reliability of the FUSO Canter with the world-class engineering of Tadano cranes, trusted globally for precision and durability. Designed for businesses that require consistent lifting capabilities, the F-Lift delivers superior performance while prioritizing operator and load safety.
Its lightweight aluminum drop-side body enhances payload capacity and fuel efficiency, while corrosion-resistant construction reduces long-term maintenance costs. Backed by Tadano’s crane technology, the F-Lift is a smart investment for Filipino enterprises engaged in heavy-duty, high-frequency operations.
Customers are supported with a 1-year or 20,000 km warranty for both the body and crane, ensuring dependable after-sales service.
