The name “FUSO” dates back to May of 1932 when former Mitsubishi Shipbuilding (now Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) developed its one-of-a-kind B46 bus. With a 7L 6-cyclinder engine it was able to produce an impressive 100hp for the 7-meter, 38-passenger bus at the time.
In May 1932, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan, asked its employees to submit suggestions for a melodious name on the occasion of the delivery of the B46 to the first customer, the Japanese Ministry of Railways. The choice fell on Fuso.
Derived from the bus manufactured by the former Mitsubishi Shipbuilding (currently Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) in 1932, MFTBC is a commercial vehicle manufacturer that separated and became independent from Mitsubishi Motors in January 2003. We have products in over 170 markets around the world.
