Hap Seng Trucks Distribution launches New Euro V Mercedes-Benz and FUSO Trucks

Hap Seng Trucks Distribution Sdn Bhd (HSTD) proudly announces the launch of its latest range of commercial vehicles, including the Mercedes-Benz Actros 4X2 and 6X2, Mercedes-Benz Arocs 6X4, and FUSO TF Canter, all equipped with EURO V engines. These new trucks are designed to offer superior performance, fuel efficiency, and sustainability, reflecting the company’s commitment to creating sustainability together. Built to meet the evolving needs of businesses, the trucks promise to deliver a new standard in reliability, safety, and driver comfort, making them an ideal choice for modern fleets focused on efficiency and environmental responsibility.

A truck ahead of its time: The Actros is meeting the constantly increasing demands of long-haul transport. Whatever your priority may be – whether it be economy, comfort, safety or reliability – the Actros is guaranteed to deliver. In production since 1996, the Actros is now in its fifth generation, labelled New Actros. Actros has won numerous awards on international stages and has since established itself to be at the forefront of technological advancements.

Introducing the Arocs to the Malaysian market, the prime mover presents itself as an especially robust, resilient vehicle, that is optimally prepared for use in a wide range of heavy and construction haulage applications. The smart powerhouse, conceptualised for these sectors, offers superb load handling with three-axle variants. The Arocs is designed to meet the needs demands by having a robust design able to overcome challenges in this ever-demanding sector. Where the ability to haul heavy loads while maintaining economic operations is required, safety and reliability are crucial, the Arocs is guaranteed to deliver. It will be available as 6X4 Heavy Duty Tractor,

An icon for decades, the latest version of the light duty truck is a true multitalented vehicle. The FUSO TF Canter has been refined to offer a new type of driving experience that delivers safety and peace of mind to those in, and outside the vehicle. It is equipped with advanced functions that support safe daily driving and pursues user-friendly functions and comfortable, fatigue-free driving. Its front face is refined with the signature FUSO “black belt” design, symbolizing its upgraded capabilities.

Supporting ambitions to decarbonise the industry and to work towards a carbon neutral society, the trucks introduced feature the latest engine technologies, compliant with the EURO V emission standards. Both the Actros and Arocs are fitted with the all new OM470/OM471 Euro V engines with B30 compliant coupled with Powershift 3 transmission. The TF Canter is fitted with the highly efficient 4P10 Euro V engine with B30 compliant and available with both Manual and DUONIC® AMT automated dual-clutch transmission.​

Both Actros and Arocs use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to comply with EURO V emission norms. The latest engine generation has been proven as not only powerful, but also class leading when it comes to emission reduction. The required Diesel Exhaust Fluid, commonly referred to as AdBlue, will be available from all Hap Seng Trucks workshops.  Meanwhile, the TF Canter is using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology, eliminating the need for AdBlue. While SCR uses a chemical process to convert NOx into harmless nitrogen and water vapor, EGR uses thermal processes such as heat recovery from exhaust gases to reduce the amount of CO2 in the engine's exhaust gas stream. Although the technology is different, the result is the same: a cleaner, greener transport solutions compliant with stringent emission norms.

“Today, we gather under the theme Creating Sustainability Together, a testament to our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.,” said Derrick Sim, Chief Executive, Hap Seng Trucks Distribution. He added that the launch of the new Euro V generation of the Mercedes-Benz Actros 5 and FUSO TF Canter in Malaysia, mark a significant step forward in our collective journey towards a greener future. “Together, we are not just creating vehicles; we are building a legacy of environmental stewardship and operational excellence,” he emphasised.

Supplementing the hardware, all trucks now come fitted with Trac360 Telematics as standard offering. Utilising this service, operators will be able to further enhance the utilisation of their trucks. To ensure maximum uptime, the extensive network of service centres stands ready to provide exceptional uptime. Complementing the class-leading trucks is an extraordinary user experience where innovation meets sustainability.

Inviting transport operators to experience the new models first hand, HSTD will be bringing the vehicles to locations across Malaysia during an upcoming roadshow. With the latest models of the Actros, Arocs and TF Canter now available, transporters will be able to deploy trucks that help to contribute to their bottom line while at the same time being the most environmentally friendly trucks that are currently available in the market.

Said Sim further “The TF Canter is perfect for a variety of applications, from urban deliveries to challenging terrains due to multiple original wheelbase options from FUSO, Japan. This help to minimise body building speed and offers greater durability.”  The TF Canter’s efficiency in diverse environments ensures that meet logistical needs are met while minimizing the industry’s carbon footprint.
