Trucks
After the second Oil Shock, Mitsubishi Fuso began developing large-size trucks
that perfectly fit the low economic growth conditions of the time. |
|
| |
 |
All F Series buses, such as the FT, FU, and FV, underwent a
full model change for the first time in 10 years. "The Great" was released,
and was the first large-size truck to be given a nickname. |
| In February of 1984, the mid-size FK Series and large-size
FM Series were fully renewed and released under the nickname "Fuso Fighter".
|
 |
 |
In 1986, the new "Fighter Mignon" Series was born.
It was named "Mignon" by combining the French word for "small-built
and elegant" with the Japanese phrase "mini yon-ton-sha" or "mini
4-ton vehicle". |

Buses
The AERO Bus, which established its image as a luxury sightseeing bus, continued
to evolve and improve. |
|
| |
| "AERO King", Mitsubishi Fuso's double-decker bus,
was exhibited at a motor show in 1983 and was released in January of 1985. |
 |
 |
Development of expressway networks and the opening of the Seto
Bridge prompted a boom for overnight express buses operating between major cities.
The "AERO Queen M", a super high-decker bus with a rear single axle,
was born in 1988. |
