The Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great is a heavy-duty commercial truck manufactured by Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, a former division of Mitsubishi Motors which is later acquired by Daimler AG. The Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great truck launched in 1983 to succeed the Mitsubishi Fuso The Great. The range of Fuso trucks was primarily available in other big-size trucks. Most big-size models of the truck are distinguishable using a front ‘Super Great’ badge, but the common badge is usually used on the rear. In Global Markets, Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great’s principal competitors are the Nissan Diesel/UD Trucks Quon, Nissan Diesel Big Thumb, Isuzu Giga, Mercedes Benz Actros, and Hino Profia.

This heroism brings new surprises and emotions to transportation.
