Kawasaki - Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), one of Asia’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, today announced the winners of its “2012 Fuso Kids Future Sketch Contest.” Applicable by all pre-school children in kindergarten and nursery schools, the contest has received over 1,000 entries from all over Japan. The applications went through a stringent selection process by the company’s top management and an external jury. The 3 Grand Prix’s and the 5 Outstanding Awards will be exhibited at the Mercedes-Benz Connection located in Roppongi, Tokyo.
Congratulating all applicants for their excellence, Mr. Hiromitsu Hashiguchi, Director and Head of Fuso Bus Unit said, “We feel proud and honored to see such great applications from around Japan. All the sketches showed enthusiasm and represented kids’ hope in taking forward steps, and once again thinking about the future since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. While we hope these sketches will serve as support for the overall reconstruction efforts in the region, Fuso is committed to continuing its support for Japan and the society.”
Under the overall theme of “Future,” kids were asked to expand their imagination and fill a blank sheet of paper with color, hope and happiness, such as “dream towns they want to live in,” “how vehicles will look like in the future,” and or “any nice-to-haves in the future.”
