Business Overview
ARCHION – What We Do
ARCHION builds on the combined strengths of Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso, including their long‑standing customer relationships, extensive production and sales networks across Japan and Asia, and a joint development framework supported by the Daimler Truck and Toyota groups.
By streamlining development, procurement, and manufacturing—and by exploring new synergies in advanced fields such as fuel‑cell–based zero‑emission technologies and autonomous driving—we are committed to a partnership that shapes the future of commercial vehicles.
Through these efforts, ARCHION continues to advance sustainable transportation and contribute to a more prosperous society.
Key Strategies
Integrated Platform
We will integrate the product platforms for heavy‑, medium‑, and light‑duty trucks, leveraging the strengths of both Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino to enhance product competitiveness and cost efficiency.
By utilizing both brands’ vehicles across markets, we will deliver a broader and more compelling product portfolio.
Optimization Through Scale
By consolidating functions such as development, procurement, production, and logistics, we will reduce overlapping investments, allocate resources more effectively, and improve overall operational efficiency.
In procurement, we will pursue additional efficiencies by fully leveraging scale advantages.
By optimizing production sites and logistics networks, we will advance the implementation of our integrated platform strategy.
Contributing to a Sustainable Society Through CASE Technologies
We will reinvest the resources generated through integration into both strengthening core technologies and accelerating CASE innovation.
This includes advancing developments in electrification, hydrogen, and fuel‑cell systems, autonomous driving, and connected services.
Through collaboration with Toyota and Daimler Truck, we will continue developing and strengthening our world‑class technologies.
Sustainable Value Through Synergy and Competition
Built on the synergies created by the integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino, both brands will continue to challenge each other in the marketplace, delivering better products to customers and creating sustained value for a wide range of stakeholders.
