CFAO Equipment has introduced two new Fuso trucks to the Nigerian market, the medium (FA & FI) and heavy duty (FJ) models, which is expected to boost the competition and raised the standard in the nation’s truck market.

Speaking at the event held in Lagos, the Managing Director, CFAO Motors Nigeria Limited, Mr. Thomas Pelletier, said, “Today’s milestone represents another successful launch for the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, one of Asia’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, under its continual growth in Africa following the recent launches in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia, South Africa and Mozambique.”

He said the firm was determined to offer customers best quality by introducing outstanding products, which would give value to buyers’ investment, adding that CFAO was not only interested in selling vehicles but to offer robust after-sales services that would assist customers in maintaining their vehicles.

“These new range of Fuso trucks will help further strengthen our portfolio and offer more choice for our customers in Nigeria,” he said.

According to him, the Fuso Canter truck is currently the bestselling product on the light duty truck segment due to its reliability, ruggedness and low maintenance cost.

“These trucks have been taken through series of thorough testing on the Nigerian roads and the durability and efficiency cannot be over-emphasised,” he said.
