Since being awarded distribution rights by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Company (MFTBC) in 2016, Fuso New Zealand (FNZ) says they’ve delivered a renewed focus for the manufacturer in this country across every aspect of customer experience.

Dealerships have been reinvigorated, vehicle and parts stock and supply have significantly increased, and a slew of new models have expanded options for Kiwi truck operators.

The distributor says that Fuso continued their hold on the number one spot, with 1250 truck sales and a 20.7% market share in 2022. In addition to this, a further 42 bus sales completed a new record for the company of 1292 units across truck and bus.

The figures showed more than 70% increase for Fuso Shogun models in the heavy-duty truck category in 2022, with the company saying the Fuso Canter continued market leadership in the
light-duty truck category and the Fuso eCanter leading the way as New Zealand’s most popular EV light truck.

Reflecting on the result, Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews paid tribute to the loyalty and endeavour of Fuso customers and to the passion and commitment of the FNZ team and its dealerships across the country, despite significant global and local challenges.

"We’re extremely grateful to our customers and humbled by the ongoing trust placed in our brand and our people," says Kurtis. "Every day, I see our fantastic teams at head office and in dealerships across the country working hard to deliver on that trust."
