FUSO is set to make a significant impact at GaLaBau 2024, taking place from September 11-14 in Nuremberg. This year, FUSO will showcase four vehicles, all fully electric, highlighting the brand’s commitment to sustainable solutions in horticulture and landscaping. GaLaBau, known as the leading international trade fair for urban greenery and open spaces, will feature the latest trends and innovations, with FUSO playing a key role in promoting climate-friendly technologies.
For the first time, FUSO will be an official participant in GaLaBau’s “Green-Blue Path,” a dedicated area that focuses on products and innovations supporting essential climate adaptation measures. Mathias Wolf, Head of Product Management and Marketing at FUSO Germany, emphasized the suitability of the FUSO Canter and its electric counterpart for diverse horticultural tasks, stating, “The eCanter Next Generation demonstrates how electromobility can be effectively applied, particularly in horticulture and landscaping.”

At the event, FUSO will display three Next Generation eCanters in Hall 5 (Stand 5-201), each designed for different applications:
- eCanter 9C18e with HIAB roll-off tipper, 3400 mm wheelbase, and M-battery, showcasing versatility in body and chassis configuration.
- eCanter 4S15e with Scattolini rear tipper, 2500 mm wheelbase, and S-battery.
- eCanter 7C18e with three-way dumper from Schutz Fahrzeugbau, 2800 mm wheelbase, and S-battery. This model includes new safety features and is noted for its high chassis load capacity (3.8 t) and small turning circle within the 7.49 t segment.
In addition, an outdoor E-Mobility Area will allow visitors to see the eCanter Next Generation in action, featuring a Jotha skip loader on a 6S15e model with a 2800 mm wheelbase and S-battery.
New Canter Enhancements
As of this summer, both the FUSO Canter and the eCanter Next Generation have received standard updates, enhancing comfort and safety. Notable improvements include the Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA6), which can perform emergency braking at speeds up to 60 km/h to avoid collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. The Blind Spot Information Assist now includes four sensors that monitor both sides of the vehicle, exceeding current legal requirements. Additionally, Sideguard Assist 2 functions as a lane change assistant at speeds over 30 km/h.
