    SHOGUN AIMS FOR HEAVIER HEIGHTS

    Nov 10, 2021 5 minutes

    FUSO HAS picked the best fruit from its family tree to create the 510hp (380kW) heavy duty Shogun that has launched in Australia.

    The new hero of the Shogun range, which instantly turns Fuso into a serious heavy duty challenger, has been made possible thanks to a cherry-ripe 13-litre engine from within the Daimler Trucks family.

    The same Euro 6 OM471 six-cylinder engine that powers the Shogun’s Mercedes-Benz Actros and Freightliner Cascadia 116 siblings is now available in a Japanese truck that has a genuine gross combination mass rating of 63 tonnes.

    Fuso says the Shogun 510 will be at home hauling a single or double trailer set, a tough tipper and dog combination or as a rigid. It isn’t designed to head for the horizon on an interstate run, because Daimler figures there is a Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner for that.
