The Super Great was launched as the successor to “The Great.” It introduced several groundbreaking features for its time:
　•Japan’s first discharge (HID) headlamps
　•A low-floor 4-axle configuration with equally sized wheels
Additionally, it adopted the distinctive “Round Cubic Style” and a newly developed cab, establishing a design language that would continue to evolve for generations to come.

■ 2000s: Advancing Environmental and Core Performance

Further enhancements followed in 2000, including the introduction of full air-suspension models
　•New 6M70 engine
　•Improved braking performance
To comply with emissions regulations, the powertrain also underwent a major transition—from V8 engines to inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engines—marking a significant evolution of the lineup. By 2005, in response to new short-term emissions regulations, all models had been standardized to inline 6-cylinder turbo engines.

■ 2007: Major Transformation and Next-Generation Technologies

A major facelift in 2007 brought a completely redesigned front appearance. At the same time, advanced technologies were introduced, including:
　•Urea SCR system
　•2-pedal transmission “INOMAT-II”
These innovations contributed to the model receiving the 2007 Good Design Award, recognizing not only its performance but also its design excellence.

■ 2010–2014: Further Enhancing Environmental Performance

In 2010, the newly developed 6R10 engine was introduced, meeting post-New Long-Term emissions regulations.
In 2014, additional advancements included:
　•Adoption of an asymmetric turbocharger
　•Achieving +5% over fuel efficiency standards across all models
The exterior design also evolved, with blue and silver accents added to elements such as the grille, bumper, lamp bezels, and mirrors—reflecting a balance between functionality and design.

■ 2017: First Full Model Change in 21 Years

A major milestone came in 2017 with the first full model change in 21 years.
　•New engines (10.7L 6R20 and 7.7L 6S10)
　•New 12-speed AMT “ShiftPilot”
　•Standard-equipped telematics system “Truckonnect”
Together, these advancements ushered in the era of connected trucks.

■ 2019–2021: Breakthroughs in Safety

In 2019, the Super Great became the first commercial vehicle in Japan to feature Level 2 automated driving technology with Active Drive Assist. The 2021 update included the following features:
　•Active Drive Assist 2
　•Emergency Stop Assist
　•Active Side Guard Assist 
These enhancements significantly improved safety for both drivers and surrounding road users.
