The Mitsubishi Fuso Canter (kana:三菱ふそう・キャンター) is a line of light-duty commercial vehicle by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation. The range was primarily available in Japan and some other Asian countries, although it was also sold in the United States during the late 1980s and up current. Manufacturing began in 1962 with the first cars going to Asia. Other European and American countries which saw import or manufactures of the Canter included the Europe, Mid-east and North America. The Asia-Pacific was another market until the early 1970s. In many markets the Canter was very expensive and was replaced by the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck when that model became available for worldwide market in the early 1980s.
Australia was another important market for the Canter - to the extent that it was manufactured there from the 1970s using many local components.
Most models of the truck are distinguishable by a front 'Canter' badge, but the common Mitsubishi badge is usually used on the rear.
In the United States, its principal competitors are Bering MS, Chevrolet W-Series, GMC W-Series, Isuzu NPR/NQR and the UD 1200/1300/1400. and Japan competitors are Isuzu Elf, UD Atlas, Toyota Dyna, Hino Dutro.
In late 2005, a new Canter was presented, with safety being the main issue. Also a new hybrid truck, the Canter Eco Hybrid was presented commercially. It is currently only sold in Japan.
