ASCO Motors, a company based in Fiji, has introduced a new product on the market.

The new engines are more superior compared to the older versions because of their high performance characteristics and excellent fuel consumption.
There has been rising demand in the market and therefore the new innovation have accelerated sales as customers are readily available to buy the equipment to meet their needs. According to ASCO Motors CEO, Craig Sims, the new engines are on high demand and the new consignment that had been received was sold off in advance. However, he said that subsequent stocks were expected though only five engines would be available for marketing.
The new diesel engines specifications are in 2.4L and 2.8L capacities. The output for the 2.4L engine is 160hp and 400Nm whereas for the 2.8L is 177hp. The other technical specifications are that the 2.4L is coded 2GD-FTV whereas the 2.8L is 1GD-FTV.
