Asia-based commercial vehicle manufacturer Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus (MFTBC) has launched its Fuso MP300 city-route bus at the BusVic Maintenance Conference and Expo being held in Melbourne, Australia.
The vehicle is powered by FUSO's 6M60 twin overhead cam turbo charged and intercooled 7.5L engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission.
FUSO MP300 is claimed to be the company's first completely built-up large bus for export and is an ultra-low floor city-route bus which has the capacity to accommodate about 63 passengers.
MFTBC Sales & After Sales senior vice president Kai-Uwe Seidenfuss said, "The launch of the all-new MP300 for Australia is a reflection of our commitment to global growth and to the Australian market."
The bus incorporates BlueTec emissions reduction system, which is a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system and a regeneration-control diesel particulate filter (DPF).
Additionally, the vehicle features an Idle Stop/ Start (ISS) that allows the bus to turn itself off while stationary in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
