Mitsubishi Fuso FE – light truck chassis of the Canter family with a 3.5-tonne gross weight: four-cylinder engines of around 3.3 litres, 2,120 to 3,220 kg unladen weight
This page gathers chassis of the FE range from Mitsubishi Fuso, the Japanese commercial-vehicle maker spun off from Mitsubishi Motors in 2003 and majority-owned by Daimler ever since. Within the Canter range, FE denotes the two-wheel-drive chassis variant; the number sequences 211, 431, 444, 649 and 659 name different sizes and development stages, while the suffixes CCL, ECL, EXL and EXLA denote different cab and trim variants within each size.

The register lists 11 versions with four-cylinder engines of 3,276 to 3,290 cm³. Unladen weights range from 2,120 to 3,220 kg, the gross weight stands at 3,500 kg throughout, and widths range from 1,890 to 2,450 mm.
Since the 1960s the Canter has counted among the established light trucks of Japan and Europe and is used above all in urban distribution transport, as a refrigerated vehicle and as a base for municipal and trade bodies; the FE chassis at the 3.5-tonne boundary can be driven on a standard car licence, which makes them especially attractive to small businesses.
When buying used, what matters on the four-cylinder diesel engines is the condition of the turbocharger, injection system and timing belt, and on the chassis, rust on the frame and body mounts. Brakes, steering and, on refrigerated vehicles, the condition of the refrigeration unit all form part of the check; spare parts are available through the Mitsubishi Fuso service network.
