Whether you run a logistics company, cold-chain distribution network, or vehicle recovery service, this long-chassis F81 platform provides the exact balance of power, durability, and custom frame adaptability your business needs.
Powerful Performance Meets Euro 5 Efficiency
At the core of the 2026 Mitsubishi Canter F81 is a 3.0-litre (2,998 cc) 4-cylinder Turbo Diesel engine featuring water cooling and direct injection technology. Engineered to meet Euro 5 emission standards, this engine strikes an ideal balance between low environmental impact and aggressive torque delivery.

- Maximum Torque: 370 Nm @ 1,320 RPM
- Transmission: Smooth-shifting 5-speed manual + reverse

With its peak torque kicking in at just 1,320 RPM, the Canter offers exceptional low-end pulling power, ensuring smooth acceleration even when carrying heavy loads up steep inclines or through dense urban traffic.
Long Chassis Dimensions & Impressive Payload (7,500 kg GVW)
The extended 3,850 mm wheelbase provides an expansive platform for custom body builders. With an overall length of 6,700 mm and a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 7,500 kg, this single-cab truck accommodates a wide range of commercial applications without compromising structural stability.
Popular Commercial Applications:
- Refrigerated / Chiller Boxes: Perfect for fresh produce, dairy, and pharmaceutical transport.
