Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG, Stuttgart, Germany along with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, Japan (MFTBC), a Daimler Company, started shipping DICV-made FUSO trucks to Indonesia, the key strategic market in Asia. With the new range of trucks, the company aims to fuel additional momentum in the market where FUSO has established itself as the leading commercial vehicle brand.
FUSO is the market leader in Indonesia with a market share of 45.4% and in the light-duty truck segment (5-8 tons GVW) served by the Colt Diesel, the company continues to prove its leadership position with a market share of 53.1% percent in (Jan – Dec) 2013. The company has sold over 280,000 units in Indonesia across light-medium and heavy duty segments.
These trucks, developed to meet the ever demanding customer expectations in the growth markets, reinforce FUSO’s leading presence in Asia and Africa. Rigorous testing has been assessed under the most strenuous driving conditions to ensure maximum reliability of the trucks. The new FUSO trucks have already arrived and are sold in Kenya, Sri Lanka, Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, and Brunei, and are now on their way to Indonesia, with already truck orders placed from the company’s local distributer.
