Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, the authorised distributor of Mitsubishi Fuso, has launched three new models, the FM65FN, FM65FJ and the FN62FM, further enhancing the Mitsubishi Fuso product portfo- lio in Malaysia.
Speaking on the reception of the FM and FN series, Mercedes-Benz Malay- sia Commercial Vehicle Vice President, Albert Yee, said, “The truck series has time and time again proved to be a popular contender in the Malaysian market. Since 2012, we have sold more than 2,500 units on an annual basis, and we are confident that with these three new additions, it will fur- ther enhance our presence in the Malaysia market. The upgraded chassis provides especially good function in the construction, logistics and quarry industries. The FN series, in particular, has provided versatility for off-road applications.”
