The medium-duty truck fighter has a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 10.4 tons to 17.1 tons, and supports various businesses in the GCC market, from distribution to the construction industry. The finished vehicle shipped from MFTBC's Kawasaki plant combines a sturdy and reliable chassis with an agility and durable 6-cylinder 6M60 engine.

In addition, the engine has been optimized to improve fuel efficiency, resulting in a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and an 80% reduction in particulate matter (PM) emissions. Qatar has already launched Euro 5 compliant fighters in Qatar ahead of the country's tightening of emission regulations starting in 2023, and plans to launch them in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain within the next few months. .. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Oman are already selling light truck canters for Euro 5.
