MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION, as
the manufacturer of MITSUBISHI FUSO vehicles,
publishes this body/equipment mounting directive to
provide body manufacturers with important technical
information about the basic vehicle. This information
must be observed by the body manufacturer in the
production of bodies and equipment, fittings and
modifications for MITSUBISHI FUSO vehicles.
Due to the large number of body manufacturers and
body types, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPO-
RATION cannot take into account all the possible
modifications to the vehicle, e.g. performance,
stability, load distribution, center of gravity and
handling characteristics, that may result from the
design of attachments, bodies, equipment or modifi-
cations. For this reason, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK &
BUS CORPORATION can accept no body manufacturer
liability for accidents or injuries sustained as a result
of such modifications to the vehicles if such modifica-
tions have a negative impact on the overall vehicle.
Accordingly, MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS
CORPORATION will only assume liability as vehicle
manufacturer within the scope of the design, produc-
tion and instruction services which it has performed
itself.
The body manufacturer is bound to ensure that its
bodies and equipment, fittings and modifications are
themselves not defective, nor capable of causing
defects or hazards to the overall vehicle. If this obliga-
tion is violated in any way, the body manufacturer shall
assume full product liability. The body/equipment
mounting directives enable MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK
& BUS CORPORATION to instruct the body manufac-
turer about important aspects that must be observed
when mounting its bodies and equipment, fittings and
modifications.
These body/equipment mounting directives are
primarily intended for the professional manufacturers
of bodies, equipment, fittings and modifications for
our vehicles. As a result, these body/equipment
mounting directives assume that the body manufact-
urer has suitable background knowledge. If you intend
to mount attachments, bodies and equipment on or
carry out modifications to our vehicles, please be
aware that certain types of work (e.g. welding work on
load-bearing components) may only be carried out by
qualified personnel. This will avoid the risk of injury
while also ensuring that the degree of quality required
for the attachments, bodies, equipment and modifica-
tions is given.

Notes on vehicle safety
MITSUBISHI FUSO recommends
using appropriate parts only for each particular vehicle
model.
In many countries, parts that make extensive changes
to the vehicle can invalidate the general operating
permit. Specifically, this concerns parts which:
• change the vehicle type approved in the general
operating permit
• could endanger road users
• could adversely affect noise levels
aRisk of accident and injury
The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts
and accessories which have not been approved
may jeopardize the safety of the vehicle.
Before installing any attachments, special-purpose
bodies, equipment or carrying out any modifica-
tions to the basic vehicle and/or its assemblies,
you must read the relevant sections of the Owner’s
Handbook, as well as the operating and assembly
instructions issued by the manufacturer of the
accessories and items of optional equipment.
You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers,
which could result in injury to yourself or others.
Official acceptance by public testing bodies or
official approval does not rule out safety hazards.
iAdditional information
Make absolutely sure that you comply with national
registration regulations as attachments, bodies,
equipment on or modifications to the vehicle will
change the vehicle type approved and may
invalidate the general operating permit.

2.2 Product safety
MITSUBISHI FUSO body/equipment mounting directives for FE Issue date: 20. 10. 2020
!Only print out complete sections from the current version
2.2 Product safety
Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufac-
turer must always ensure that they introduce their
scopes into the market in a safe condition and that
third parties are not at risk of any safety hazard. If this
is not adhered to they may be subject to civil, criminal
and public law consequences. Every manufacturer is
liable for the products it manufactures.
From this, it follows that the vehicle body/conversion
manufacturer therefore also bears responsibility for
the following:
• the operating and road safety of the body
• the operating and road safety of parts and modifi-
cations
• testing and maintaining the operating and handling
safety of the vehicle after the body/equipment is
mounted (the body and/or equipment must not
have a negative effect on the driving, braking or
steering characteristics of the vehicle)
• influences of parts on or modifications to the
chassis
• consequential damage resulting from the body,
attachment, equipment or modification
• consequential damage resulting from retrofitted
electrical and electronic systems
• maintaining the operational reliability and freedom
of movement of all moving parts of the chassis
after the body/equipment is mounted (e.g. axles,
springs, propeller shafts, steering, transmission
linkage, etc.) even in the case of diagonal torsion
between the chassis and the bodies

body-building or modification work.
Safety design
• Securing adequate safety and reliability, and
preparing safety devices (design which is fail-safe
and takes account of misoperation and misuse,
safety evaluation)
• Storing technical material, drawings and
documents during development
Manufacturing quality
• Manufacturing according to the drawings in order
to prevent errors, missing parts and defective
assembly, and secure high manufacturing quality
• Implementing a quality confirmation inspection,
and storing the records of the inspection
Use the post-body-building/modification
inspection sheet.
Preparing an instruction manual and warning
indications
• Instruction manual
Concrete indication of the effect of incorrect
operation on the human body, the vehicle, and
other locations (elimination of indications that are
likely to cause misunderstanding, and also
ambiguous expressions)
• Warning indications
To ensure that the vehicle is used as safely as
possible, warning indications must use expressions
that are easy to understand and letters that are
large enough to read easily, include pictures, and
be applied to locations that are readily visible to the
driver.

!Only print out complete sections from the current version
2.3 Ensuring traceability
Hazards in your implement/body which become
known after delivery may necessitate supplementary
measures in the market (customer notification, warn-
ings, recalls). In order to make these measures as effi-
cient as possible, your product must be traceable after
delivery.
For this purpose and to enable the Federal Office for
Motor Vehicles' Central Vehicle Register (ZFZR) or
comparable registers abroad to be used for
determining which owners are affected, we advise you
to promptly file the serial number/identification
number of your equipment/add-on part linked to the
vehicle identification number for the truck in your
databases.
Similarly, it is also advisable to store the addresses of
your customers for this purpose and to grant
subsequent purchasers the opportunity to register.

2.6 Recycling of components
MITSUBISHI FUSO body/equipment mounting directives for FE Issue date: 20. 10. 2020
!Only print out complete sections from the current version
2.6 Recycling of components
Materials with risk potential and restriction by REACH,
such as halogen additives, heavy metals, asbestos,
CFCs and CHCs, are to be avoided.
• It is preferable to use materials which permit
recycling and closed material cycles.
• Materials and production processes are to be
selected such that only low quantities of waste are
generated during production and that this waste
can be easily recycled.
• Plastics are to be used only where they provide
advantages in terms of cost, function or weight.
• In the case of plastics, and composite materials in
particular, only compatible substances within one
material family are to be used.
• For components which are relevant to recycling,
the number of different types of plastics used must
be kept to a minimum.
• It must be assessed whether a component can be
made from recycled material or with recycled
elements.
• It must be ensured that components can be
dismantled easily for recycling, e.g. by snap
connections or predetermined breaking points.
These components should generally be easily
accessible and should permit the use of standard
tools.
• Service products must be capable of being
removed simply and in an environmentally
responsible manner by means of drain plugs, etc.
• Wherever possible, components should not be
painted or coated; colored plastic parts are to be
used instead.
• Components in areas at risk from accidents must
be designed in such a way that they are damage-
tolerant, repairable and easy to replace.
• All plastic parts are to be marked in accordance
with VDA code of practice 260, e.g. "PPGF30R".
• EU Directive 2000/53/EC must be complied with.
Environmental note
When planning attachments, bodies, equipment
and modifications, and with regard to the legal
requirements according to EU Directive 2000/53/
EC and 1907/2006/EC (REACH: Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation (and Restriction) of
Chemicals), the following principles for
environmentally-compatible design and material
selection shall be taken into account.

!Only print out complete sections from the current version
2.7 Quality system
World-wide competition, increased quality standards
demanded by the customer from the product as a
whole, national and international product liability laws,
new organizational forms and rising cost pressures
make efficient quality assurance systems a necessity
in all sectors of the automotive industry.
For the reasons quoted above, MITSUBISHI FUSO
TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION urgently advises body
manufacturers to set up a quality management system
with the following minimum requirements:
• Does the quality management system clearly
define responsibility and authority?
• Is there a description of processes/workflows?
• Are the contracts checked/is the feasibility of
construction checked?
• Are product checks on the basis of specified
instructions carried out?
• What provisions are made for the handling of faulty
products?
• Are the inspection results documented and
archived?
• Do all employees concerned have currently valid
proof of the qualification required?
• Is the test equipment systematically monitored?
• Is there a system for labelling materials/parts?
• Are quality assurance measures carried out at
suppliers?
