Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation is redefining its corporate footprint following a landmark merger that positions the historic commercial vehicle manufacturer under the umbrella of Archion. Tracing its roots back to 1932 with the production of the first B46 bus at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company, the brand has evolved from its early industrial days into a global heavyweight in trucks and buses.
The structural shift follows a definitive agreement reached to merge Fuso with Hino Motors under a newly established holding company backed equally by major automotive leaders Daimler Truck and Toyota. This strategic alignment allows Fuso to leverage joint resources while maintaining its extensive international presence spanning manufacturing hubs across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
