The renowned durability and performance of the FUSO FJ make it a substantial investment in ensuring efficient and secure transportation for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families, especially during calamities. The Fuso FJ is equipped with a robust in-line six 6.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine, generating 235 hp and an impressive 850 Nm of torque. Standard specifications include reverse Elliot axles at the front and a fully floating axle at the rear. The suspension system consists of a semi-elliptic with auxiliary springs at the front and a semi-elliptic with auxiliary springs at the rear. These components allow the FJ to take a considerable amount of punishment and still keep going. The FJ truck for the OWWA is outfitted with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping area, and Wi-Fi.
