This marks the second time for FUSO to improve its sales ranking to 3rd in the TMA tally; the first was last March. In addition, FUSO showed a remarkable improvement from January to July 2022 sales performance as it expanded by 26.2% compared to the previous year, while the industry growth showed 1% — this resulted in the improvement of FUSO’s market share to 11.4%.

Thanks to the consistent sales contribution of FUSO Canter FE71 (4W) and Canter FE73 (6W) for making this achievement possible.
