The Daimler truck brand FUSO introduced new eCanter variants for construction and gardening/landscaping industries at bauma 2025.
FUSO Next Generation eCanter 7C18e, 7.49 is a Meiller Trigenius three-way tipper with a diesel-powered 6.0 t Canter 6S15 and WEHA flatbed body and crane.

This year, new variants of our all-electric Next Generation eCanter will be added which makes crane and aerial lift platform options also available,” said Florian Schulz, Head of Sales, Marketing and Customer Services FUSO Europe.
