Kuwait is currently promoting the diversification of industries, breaking heavy dependence on oil for national resources and, at the same time updating infrastructure. FUSO will contribute to the industry development in Kuwait, by offering its wide range of products, from loading capacity 3-18 tons in the cargo range to GCW 40-49 tons in the tractor range, thereby leading to the expansion of its customer base. Since its entry to the Kuwait market in 1977, FUSO’s vehicles have been highly trusted by customers for its economic efficiency, drivability and safety that meet the local needs.
