• The Mitsubishi Canter range is being improved and expanded with more cab options and revised gear ratios.
Crew cabs are now available on the 4.2m-wheelbase Canter 75 model while the Canter 63 gets the option of a day cab on 3.35 and 4.2m wheelbases. The 63 and 75 crew-cabs both get central locking as standard, with air conditioning and ABS as an option pack.
Volvo Truck, which sells the Mitsubishi Canter in the UK, says the crew-cab option for the 75 is being offered in response to demand from the vehicle recovery sector.
In a move designed to improve motorway economy, the Canter 35 is now fitted with a 0.752:1 overdrive top ratio allied to a new rear axle ratio of 5.14:1.
New shock absorbers are fitted across the range and 20kg has been shaved off the unladen weight by using an aluminium gearbox casing.
Cabs also get a low fuel warning light.
