The trucks will aslo be exported to other markets like Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.
With this, Daimler Trucks Asia strengthens its portfolio of new FUSO trucks for the non-Asian markets as well blostering its export strategy. A variant of the new DICV-made FUSO LHD will be showcased at the upcoming IAA Hannover show in September 2014.
As part of the first wave of Export-markets DICV-made FUSO trucks are already exported to markets like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Brunei.
