Stuttgart/Bigenthal (CH), 06-8-2013 — /EuropaWire/ — A 7.5-tonner with a crane and skip loader, and a payload of 3650 kg – this is the package offered by the new Fuso Canter 7C18 of Reinhard Recycling AG in Bigenthal (Emmental), Switzerland. The compact vehicle with a 3400 mm wheelbase is equipped with a hook-up and skip by Cosma, as well as a recycling crane with multi-blade grab by the same manufacturer. Positioned in the lower weight segment, the Canter configured in this way is the perfect addition to the skip loader range produced by the recycling specialist from Emmental. The Canter 7C18 is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder in-line engine developing 129 kW (175 hp) and a torque of 430 Nm. Employing 17 personnel, Reinhard Recycling AG provides a wide range of services extending from waste disposal, municipal recycling, iron and metal trading, transport and crane work to landfill and excavation work.

The technical refinements in the Canter series include the Canter Eco Hybrid, which is now also in series production in Europe, and the Duonic dual clutch transmission, which allows driving without manual gearshifts. The classic strengths of the Canter are by now legendary and in addition to a high payload include great manoeuvrability and economy.

50 years of the Fuso Canter

The first-generation Fuso Canter truck entered the market in March 1963. Some 50 years and eight generations later, Daimler is celebrating the truck as a worldwide bestseller with more than 3,700,000 units sold since its launch in the home market of Japan. The light Fuso Canter truck is the flagship model of the Daimler subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), and is popular with customers in more than 150 countries worldwide. Since 1980 the Fuso Canter has been produced in Tramagal (Portugal) for the European market. It is becoming increasingly popular in Europe.
