Canter Engine Protection

 

Mitsubishi Fuso says a new engine protection system (EPS), developed at the request of its fleet customers, is now standard on all 2015 models. It’s also available as a no-cost upgrade on all 2012-14 model-year Canter FE and FG Series trucks.

The new system will shut down the engine in the event of critically low oil pressure and regulate fuel flow to reduce engine heating upon sensing elevated coolant temperature. It acts as an automatic back-up in the event that the driver fails to respond when the instrument cluster tells him things are amiss.

New 2015-model Canters will come from the factory with the EPS installed. But the company will also be installing the EPS on all of the Canters in inventory at ports-of-entry before they’re shipped to the dealer network, and will retrofit the system for Fuso owners who request it from an authorized dealer. This is a software upgrade that takes advantage of sensors already installed on the truck, and can be performed easily during a normal maintenance visit. It requires no hardware changes.
