National logistics company XFM has added five new Fuso Shoguns to its fleet a part of its continued expansion.
The company recently introduced the new Shogun 400 prime movers as well as nine new Vawdrey trailers.
XFM selected Shogun 400 models, which feature the Daimler Truck sourced 11-litre six-cylinder engine paired with a 12-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). Tuned for ultimate efficiency, the Euro 6-rated engine produces 400hp, which is enough for short or long-haul work. The company opted for the 4×2 Shogun 400 configuration.
These trucks also come standard with Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) technology, which enables the truck to automatically carry out full brake application in response to stationary and moving objects and even brake in response to moving or halted pedestrians.
XFM Managing Director, Les Sharp, says the company’s recent fleet upgrade is in-line with its commitment to operate modern high-quality equipment and first-class depots across major Australian cities.

“Our customers can attest that we are 100 per cent committed to providing the highest level of service and that means we operate modern quality trucks and trailers that are safe, efficient and well maintained,” he says.
“Safety for our drivers and other road users is important, so we are also pleased the Fuso Shogun comes with a really high level of safety as standard. The overall business case for the Shoguns, including the low operating costs, also makes it something that is hard to say no to. ”
The Fuso Shogun 400 benefits from lengthy 50,000km service intervals that ensure the truck spends more time out on the road getting the job done.
It also features a manufacturer warranty that lasts for five years or 500,000km (whichever occurs first).
Customers are able to choose from three different engine sizes, various power ratings and a raft of wheelbase and drive configurations. The engine line-up starts with the eight-litre, moves up to 11-litre and tops out with the muscular 510hp 13-litre powerplant in the Shogun 510.
