Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation will begin sales and service in Puerto Rico after signing an agreement with local distributor Guaraguao Truck Sales, based in Bayamon.
Fuso brand trucks will be exported from Japan and distributed through Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America (MFTA) to Guaraguao.
"Puerto Rico has further potential for growth in the future, and we hope that Fuso trucks will help support that development," said MFTBC chief Albert Kirchmann. "Fuso's entry into the Puerto Rico market is part of an initiative to strengthen the brand's presence throughout North America."
MFTBC's product offerings for Puerto Rico include diesel-powered, cab-over engine, light-duty and medium-duty trucks ranging from 5.7 tons to 15 tons. They will be built at MFTBC's plant in Kawasaki, Japan, and exported fully assembled.
Daimler owns 85% of MFTBC shares. In 2008, the company sold 197,700 vehicles world-wide.
