FUSO Philippines and Centro Manufacturing Corporation launches the new F-resh Van and F-Lift for the Canter Series
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Fuso Philippines | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
Santa Rosa City, Laguna (November 20, 2025) – Following the successful digital launch of the F-Wing mounted on our FJ2528R (now FJ2828R) heavy-duty truck in 2022, Sojitz Fuso Philippines Corporation (SFP), in partnership with Centro Manufacturing Corporation (CMC), proudly launched the two (2) new purpose-built body applications for the FUSO Canter—the F-resh Van and F-Lift. These truck body applications further strengthen FUSO’s commitment in providing timely mobility solutions designed to meet the evolving demands of local Filipino businesses.
F-resh Van: Refrigerated Van – Japanese Quality, Locally Manufactured
The F-resh Van is fully Japanese-designed and Japanese-engineered, ensuring superior durability and performance. Nippon Fruehauf’s refrigerated van bodies are recognized internationally for their quality and have passed the stringent Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) tests, confirming their reliability in demanding operations. The F-resh Van also uses high-quality, eco-friendly materials—specifically, Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) for excellent insulation and aluminum sheet panels that are recyclable and environmentally safe.
To support consistent and efficient cooling, the unit is equipped with the C-Temp system with a Japanese brand compressor known for stable performance and energy efficiency. Customers also enjoy the assurance of a comprehensive warranty coverage of 2 years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first), providing long-term confidence and support for cold-chain operations.
F-Lift: Tadano Crane – Precision Engineering for Heavy-Duty Operations
The newly introduced F-Lift combines the proven reliability and durability of the FUSO Canter with the trusted performance of Tadano’s Japanese crane technology. Tadano cranes are globally regarded for their unmatched reliability and engineering, making the F-Lift a reliable solution for Filipino businesses requiring efficient and consistent lifting capabilities.
The F-Lift is engineered to deliver superior lifting performance while maximizing operator and load safety through its advanced safety systems. Its lightweight aluminum drop-side body increases payload capacity, enhancing overall fuel efficiency. The corrosion-resistant construction minimizes long-term maintenance needs and keeps the unit looking new for years. Combining durable build quality with Tadano’s proven crane technology, the F-Lift offers an exceptional long-term investment for heavy-duty, high-frequency operations.
Customers benefit from a comprehensive warranty of 1 year or 20,000 km (whichever comes first) for both the body and crane, ensuring long-term confidence and dependable after-sales support.
Mr. Yosuke Nishi, SFP President & CEO in his speech, “Our FUSO Canter light-duty truck delivers the best performance in its segment—offering maximum efficiency, reliable power, and guaranteed driving comfort. With specialized truck bodies such as the F-resh Van and F-Lift, the FUSO Canter is built to support a wide range of business needs.
