What is the interior volume of the Fuso Canter 4t?

Approximately 15.9 m³ (3,790 × 2,065 × 2,030 mm). Usable volume is slightly less once wheel arch intrusions and floor runners are accounted for — plan on 14–15 m³ for stackable cargo.

How many T11 pallets fit in a Fuso Canter?

Three T11 pallets (1,100 × 1,100 mm) fit in a single floor tier — the 2,065 mm interior width only fits one T11 per row, and the 3,790 mm length fits three rows. Two-tier stacking yields up to 6 T11 positions for lightweight goods.

What driving licence is required for the Fuso Canter 4t in Japan?

A mid-size vehicle licence (中型免許, GVW up to 11 t) is required. Drivers who obtained their ordinary licence before June 2007 may still drive vehicles up to 8 t GVW on that licence.

What is the maximum payload?

2,500 kg net payload. The tare weight is approximately 4,200 kg, giving a gross vehicle weight of around 6,700 kg — well within the 8,000 kg class maximum.

Can the Fuso Canter operate in Tokyo low-emission zones?

Current Canter models meeting Japan's Post-New Long-Term emission standard comply with Tokyo's Low Emission Vehicle ordinance. Older models may face restricted access hours or require a clean-engine retrofit.

What is the floor load rating?

4,000 kg/m². The total floor area is approximately 7.8 m², giving a theoretical distributed limit well above the 2,500 kg payload. Concentrated spot loads — machinery or equipment on a small footprint — should be checked separately against the truck floor specification.

How does the Canter 4t compare to a European 7.5t rigid?

A European 7.5t box van offers roughly 40 m³ and 3,000 kg payload — about 2.5 times the Canter's capacity. The Canter trades volume for urban maneuverability: at 2,065 mm wide it fits streets with Japanese urban width restrictions, where a 2,400 mm European van cannot pass.
