Fuso, a renowned Japanese brand of the Daimler group and represented in Peru by Astara, announced the launch of the MF100 midibus chassis to the Peruvian market, a chassis designed and oriented towards strength, safety and fuel savings for its customers. Also, in the words of a company executive, it is a model that comes to promote the tourism, personal transport and public transport sector.
“This launch responds to the brand's commitment to economic recovery in different areas of the country, especially in the provinces. We know that there is an important market and that it can evolve very soon. And what better way to present a product that will promote contributing to the revitalization of various sectors, such as the tourism sector, which in turn is of the utmost importance for Cusco”, said Renato Gómez, Brand Manager of FUSO Peru.
FUSO's renewed MF100 Euro 5 has a load capacity of up to 5,200 kg. and it has a longer bodywork platform (130 mm) than its previous version and even those that can be found currently on the market. Thanks to this, it has more space for a better distribution of seats and, therefore, greater comfort for passengers.
This new version of the bus chassis is equipped with ABS + EBD. On the one hand, the ABS brakes help to stop the bus in a shorter distance, also preventing the wheels from locking and avoiding the slipping effect. The EBD system, for its part, improves stability and maximizes braking efficiency in emergency situations. The model also has a high-efficiency engine with Euro 5 technology with the “DPF, without UREA” system, allowing less emission of polluting gases. Coupled with this, it has flat torque, a feature that gives you better performance on climbs for longer, which in turn translates into fuel efficiency.
