Todd Bloom, MFTA president and CEO, noted, “We’re pleased that we have the first deliveries of our new Canter FE Series commercial trucks on the ground in U.S. ports, and have been able to start moving them to our dealer network, as we’ve had exceptionally high interest from our dealers and customers since we introduced the new line in March.
