ABT Railway Tasmania

We’d made the journey to Strahan, Tasmania to check out the new Fuso Canter FG 4x4 crew cab track service vehicle that had just hit the rails with the West Coast Wilderness railway.
This Fuso Canter is fitted with an Aries hyrail (hi rail) system. The unique hirail system allows the Fuso Canter to quickly transfer from a road to rail.
This hyrail system is commonly referred to as the front elevated model and used on medium vehicles where the road wheels are a similar distance apart as the gauge of the rails.
Powering this Fuso is a 3.0-litre Euro-5-spec turbo-diesel that punches out 110kW with 370Nm torque. The transmission is a five-speed manual gearbox coupled to a two-speed transfer case.
