About this place
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (Japanese: 三菱ふそうトラック・バス株式会社, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Fusō Torakku・Basu Kabushiki gaisha; MFTBC), doing business as Mitsubishi Fuso (三菱ふそう), or Fuso (ふそう, Fusō), is a Japanese manufacturer of trucks and buses. It is headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. Following its merger with Hino Motors, the company operates as a subsidiary of Archion. The Fuso brand traces its origins to 1932, when the first B46 bus was built at the Kobe Works of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company (a predecessor of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries). The current corporate entity was established in 2003 when the truck and bus division was spun off from Mitsubishi Motors to form an independent company. Previously a subsidiary of Daimler Truck, Fuso merged with Hino Motors in 2026 and became a subsidiary of the newly formed Archion. Fuso derives from the ancient Chinese term fusang (扶桑), for a sacred tree said to grow at the spot in the east where the sun rises, and has been used to refer to Japan itself. The actual fuso tree is a hibiscus.
