Specialist finance for new and used Fuso trucks, from the car-licence Canter and the fully-electric eCanter to the Fighter medium-duty range and the Shogun heavy-duty prime mover. Equifund matches your application to the lender that scores trucks on freight income, contract work and asset value, not a one-size-fits-all credit template. Fuso is backed by the Daimler Truck group with a nationwide dealer and service network that protects resale and keeps trucks earning, and we use that strength to push for sharper terms across our panel of 80+ lenders.

WHO THIS IS FOR

For Operators Buying a Fuso

Established Fuso operators, owner-drivers, subcontractors and small fleets are often knocked back by banks, stalled in single-lender queues, or locked into one product by dealer finance. Usually it comes down to the same things: invoice-based income, no residential property to offer as security, or a credit file marked from rate shopping. Whether you are replacing an ageing Canter, adding a refrigerated Fighter to the run, or stepping up to a Shogun prime mover, the standard bank template rarely fits the job.

Your application goes to specialist transport lenders who assess freight income, asset value and trading history directly, in one structured submission with no multi-lender credit hits.

Owner-operators & sole traders Running a single Canter or Fighter on ABN income for courier, trades, tipper or 4x4 site access. Assessed on the contract and the truck, not a payslip or a house.
Growing distribution fleets Adding Fighter medium-duty rigids, including refrigerated and curtain-sider, to hold grocer, venue and distribution runs. Multiple trucks structured in one application.
Vocational & heavy operators Shogun prime movers and heavy rigids for linehaul, B-double, tipper and agitator work, with repayments matched to contracts that pay on progress claims.
Electric, used or refinancing The fully-electric eCanter for zero-emission metro fleets, ex-fleet and used Fuso buyers, or refinancing an existing truck and restructuring a balloon before it falls due.

SPECIALIST vs BANK vs DEALER

Equifund vs Bank vs Dealer Finance

How Fuso finance for ABN holders compares across the three places you can fund a truck.

	Equifund, commercial finance specialist	Major bank	Dealer finance
Who they lend to	Established ABN holders, sole traders to fleets, assessed on the business and the asset.	Prefers strong financials or PAYG strength, often backed by property.	Whoever is buying that brand at the desk, on a take-it-or-leave-it offer.
Income assessed	Freight, contract and BAS income. Low-doc for established ABNs, no full tax returns.	Full financials and tax returns usually required.	Limited, tied to the sale, not your wider business.
Lender choice	80+ Australian lenders matched to your deal.	One bank, one credit template.	One or two aligned financiers only.
Rate & structure	Market-tested rate, with balloon and 3 to 7 year terms and extra repayments.	Standard products with limited flexibility.	Rate loaded with dealer margin, and high balloons that flatter the monthly but cost more.
Used, private & auction	New, used, ex-fleet, private-sale and auction all financed.	Restrictive on used, private and auction buys.	Usually the dealer's own stock only.
Deposit & security	$0 deposit for prime applications, secured on the truck, not your home.	Deposit and often property security required.	Varies, frequently bundled with add-ons.
Pre-approval speed	Typically inside 24 to 48 hours.	5 to 10 business days on average.	Fast at the desk, but the offer is fixed.

RECENT SETTLEMENTS

Real Fuso Finance Approvals Across Australia

Fuso truck finance settled across 80+ Australian lenders, from owner-operators to mid-size fleets. ACL 389328.

"Run a courier and same-day operation in the metro and the little Canter does six days a week. Needed a second one to take on a contract. The bank looked at the ABN and saw a one-truck show. A lender that took the contract did the deal, and the second Fuso paid for the new run inside a quarter."

Owner-operator, courier

Sunshine, VIC

"Landscaping and site work, and a Canter 4x4 is the only thing that gets onto the blocks we work. Dealer finance only offered the one structure. Equifund found a lender that read the subcontract income properly, and the truck's been on site since."

Owner-operator, landscaping

Bendigo, VIC

"Fresh produce into independent grocers on a Fighter fridge body, five mornings a week. Our bank wanted property security for one truck. The lender that took the standing produce orders as the case didn't, and we kept the second route we'd nearly handed back."

Refrigerated distribution

Adelaide, SA

"Metro distribution fleet chasing emissions targets for the contracts we tender on. Put a couple of eCanters on to start the transition. Dealer finance only had the one structure. Equifund matched a lender that gets electric assets, and the running-cost savings help cover the repayments."

Metro distribution fleet

Parramatta, NSW

"Twelve years carting palletised freight between regional centres. Wanted to replace an ageing rigid with a new Fighter before the maintenance got silly. The bank still wanted three years of full financials. The non-bank took two BAS quarters and the rego history and got it across. Didn't lose a turnaround."

"Stepped up to a Shogun prime mover for the interstate run. Bought it with a balloon I needed to restructure before it fell due. Refinanced through Equifund onto a structure that suits the lane income, kept the truck, and freed up room for a trailer."

Owner-driver, interstate

Albury, NSW

"Picked up a tidy ex-fleet Fighter at auction to go out on my own. You've got about a day to sort the money or you lose the deposit. The lender had it organised before the next dispatch, and the Fuso's been covering its own repayment since."

Owner-operator, distribution

Logan, QLD

"Tipper work on civil jobs with a Canter, and the council contracts pay on progress claims, not flat months. Dealer finance wouldn't match the cycle. The lender structured repayments to how the claims land, and we tendered for a second site knowing the cashflow worked."

Tipper, civil contractor

Ipswich, QLD

"Beverage distribution with a small fleet of Fighter curtain-siders. Refinanced three of them into one facility so the books make sense, freed up a bit of room, and we've ordered a fourth for a new account."

Small fleet, beverage distribution

Dandenong, VIC

"Linen and laundry contract for a string of regional motels, the truck is out six days a week. Wanted a second Canter to split the run. The bank saw seasonality that isn't really there. A lender that took the actual contract did the deal, and the second truck let us pick up two more motels."

FAQ

Common Fuso Truck Finance Questions

Straight answers to the questions Fuso buyers ask most.

Which Fuso trucks can I finance?

Every model in the range, new or used: the Canter light-duty (including 4x4 and the electric eCanter), the Fighter medium-duty range, and the Shogun heavy-duty prime movers and rigids. Cab-chassis, tipper, pantech, refrigerated, curtain-sider and vocational bodies are all financeable.

Can I finance a used or ex-fleet Fuso?

Yes. Used, ex-fleet, dealer, private-sale and auction Fuso trucks are all financeable through specialist transport lenders on our panel. Fuso's Daimler-group backing and nationwide parts and service support help these deals, because lenders weigh the asset's residual value and serviceability in the approval.

Does Fuso's Daimler backing and dealer network affect my finance?

It helps. Fuso is part of the Daimler Truck group and backed by one of the strongest dealer and service networks in Australia, which protects residual values and keeps trucks earning. Lenders price partly on how well an asset holds value and how easily it can be serviced or resold, so a well-supported brand like Fuso can mean sharper terms than a thinly-supported one.

Can I finance a Fuso eCanter electric truck?

Yes. The fully-electric eCanter is financeable like any other truck, and some lenders offer sharper terms or green-asset incentives for zero-emission vehicles. It suits metro delivery fleets working toward sustainability targets, and we can structure the deal around the running-cost and servicing savings.

Do I need a deposit?

Not always. Many established operators finance a Fuso with no deposit, securing the loan against the truck itself. A deposit or trade-in can lower repayments if you prefer, and we structure it around your cashflow either way.

Can I get finance on a low-doc or ABN-only basis?

Often, yes. For established ABN holders with a clean recent history, low-doc Fuso finance is available without full financials, assessed on bank statements, BAS and the asset. It suits operators with invoice-based income who do not fit a bank's standard template.

What is the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease on a Fuso?

With a chattel mortgage you own the Fuso from day one and the lender holds security over it, which suits most operators and can carry GST and depreciation benefits. With a finance lease the lender owns the truck and you lease it for a set term. Your specialist will explain which fits your structure, and your accountant can confirm the tax treatment.

How quickly can I get pre-approved?

Usually within 24 to 48 hours of a complete application, compared with the 5 to 10 business days a major bank often takes. Pre-approval lets you walk onto the dealer lot or bid at auction knowing your number.

Can I refinance or consolidate my existing Fuso loans?

Yes. You can refinance an existing Fuso to lower repayments, restructure a balloon before it falls due, or consolidate several truck loans into one facility, which frees up room for the next purchase.

Can I include the body or fit-out in the finance?

Usually, yes. Tipper bodies, refrigeration units, cranes, tail-lifts and other fit-outs can be financed together with the Fuso cab-chassis in one facility, so the whole working truck sits under a single repayment.
