Trucks are, and will continue to be, an integral part of New Zealand’s transport infrastructure. The geography of our country poses many challenges for mass transport: trucks provide the most versatile means of transporting goods both within and outside major hubs.
However, the changing nature of our planet requires close and constant scrutiny not only to transportation, but to almost every aspect of our lives. Company and consumer alike must now weigh the balance between, on one hand, the development of society and the economy, and on the other, the need to maintain and protect the environment.
At Mitsubishi Fuso New Zealand, our aim is to provide customers with the most efficient tools to ensure the sustainability of their business and the conservation of our environment for future generations.
We are committed to protecting our environment by:
| • |
Reducing the negative environmental impacts of our corporate activities, including the development, procurement, production, sales and aftersales servicing activities related to our vehicles. |
| • |
Forecasting and assessing the environmental impact of our products at all stages in their life cycle in conjunction with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), giving particular priority to: |
|
| - |
Investing in technology that will reduce reliance on fossil fuels. |
| - |
Preventing pollution by restricting emissions of greenhouse gases and other substances harmful to the environment. |
| - |
