Kawasaki, Japan – Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), one of Asia’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, cooperating with Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Pvt. Ltd. (DICV) under the umbrella of Daimler Trucks Asia (DTA), has launched its all-new FUSO range “FA” and “FI” in Paraguay.
The key industry of Paraguay is agriculture, where transporters are required to carry heavy load that includes agricultural products, raw materials and general goods such as food & beverages, for long distances and on unpaved hilly roads, across large parts of the country. The all-new robust FUSO medium-duty models are designed to endure such tough conditions, thus meeting high demands of local freight customers. In addition to the robustness, maneuverability is required for urban use to weave through narrow streets.
Mr. Michael Kamper, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services, Daimler Trucks Asia, said: “Since the entry into the Paraguay market in the 1970s, FUSO has been maintaining its reputation with its light-duty Canter. We are delighted to introduce our much-awaited, new medium-duty trucks that will make our product portfolio attractive to customers. With this introduction, FUSO will further increase its market share in Paraguay”.
The new vehicles will be sold by authorized general distributor Condor S.A.C.I. (Condor), through an extensive network of more than10 outlets across the country.
MFTBC started its business relationship with Condor in September 2015, and since then the distributor has been selling the light-duty Canter. Condor also exclusively represents the Mercedes-Benz brand in Paraguay and has been selling its vehicles for 70 years since 1951.
At the launch event, held on 13 July in Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay, Mr. Guillermo Quellmalz, General Managing Director of Condor said: “Condor is now adding a new brand of Daimler Trucks to its product portfolio in Paraguay. The new Fuso brand will be enhanced with the experiences of sales and customer services. Today we open a new chapter with FUSO in our country”. “The introduction of the new products will complement the current range, thus expanding our portfolio”, he added.
