The future of commercial transportation demands bold thinking and collective strength. ARCHION represents the coming together of two pioneering companies – Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation – united by a shared vision to shape the next era of commercial mobility.
Through the Hino and Fuso brands, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of light to heavy-duty vehicles and mobility solutions. Both brands maintain their distinct identities and dedicated customer support, while leveraging our combined strengths in R&D, manufacturing efficiency, and supply chain optimization to drive sustainable growth.
Hino has built enduring customer relationships through reliability and deep market knowledge, particularly across Japan and Asia. With models like the HINO 700 series and HINO 500 series, as well as pioneering hybrid technology introduced as early as 1991, Hino delivers proven innovation that customers depend on. Mitsubishi Fuso brings global reach and technological leadership in electrification. Since launching the eCanter in 2017 – the world's first series-produced all-electric light-duty truck – the brand has established a strong position in zero-emission commercial vehicles. Meanwhile, the SuperGreat was the first heavy-duty truck in Japan to bring Level 2 driver assistance systems and advanced safety features to market.
At ARCHION, our greatest asset is our people. With around 40,000 employees serving customers in over 170 markets around the world, we bring together diverse expertise and perspectives. This global scale, combined with Japanese engineering excellence and deep Asian market knowledge, positions us to create significant value for all our stakeholders. Our teams are determined to support our customers with reliable, safe, and efficient products and services – backed by thousands of sales and service points around the world under our distinct, strong brands: Hino, Fuso, and Rizon.
Modern societies need modern transportation. The commercial vehicle industry faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities – from carbon neutrality requirements to the integration of advanced safety and autonomous technologies. Our products and solutions are built to meet these demands, providing the foundation for the efficient movement of goods and people that keeps societies moving forward. Working with strategic partners, we are investing in next-generation solutions that deliver both societal benefits and strong financial returns.
Together, we are delivering the future of commercial mobility. We are confident in our ability to provide the innovation, reliability, and dedicated support our customers need to succeed, while creating sustainable value for our shareholders and contributing to a better world. At ARCHION, we are proud to be Carrying Tomorrow.
