Concerning the First Trial on Mitsubishi Fuso
Heavy-Duty Truck Hub Issue


Mitsubishi Fuso would like to express its sincerest apologies to the general public for the disturbances and worries caused by the hub case. We take the indictment of our former executives very seriously. At the same time, we would like to express our deepest apology and condolence to the family of the deceased.

The first session of the trial on three former executives was held at the Yokohama summary court, today. I believe the fact presented in the indictment will be clarified through the trial, and we will wait for the result of the court proceedings.

We take this issue very seriously and are determined to continue with our company- wide utmost efforts. We will continue to speed up our field actions and emergency measures, and to further enhance quality improvement as well as safety measure in order to regain the trust of our customers and the society.


Wilfried Porth
President and CEO
