FUSO TRUCK UK OFFICIALLY COMMENCES TRADING IN GREAT BRITAIN

New General Distributor begins operations from Wentworth Park headquarters, marking a new chapter for FUSO customers and Dealers across Great Britain.

1 October 2026, FUSO Truck UK Ltd (FTUK) has today officially commenced trading as the General Distributor for FUSO products across Great Britain, taking responsibility for Sales and Customer Services for the brand.

The start of operations follows the announcement in September confirming the appointment of FUSO Truck UK as the new General Distributor, led by Chairman and Owner Sid Sadique OBE and Managing Director David Hamer.

Operating from its headquarters at the Wentworth Park complex in Barnsley, FUSO Truck UK will provide a dedicated organisation focused exclusively on the FUSO product range and the continued development of the brand in the British market.

The business will work alongside a dedicated nationwide Dealer network to support FUSO customers, with a strong focus on vehicle sales, aftersales support and long-term customer relationships.

The transition has been undertaken in close collaboration with Daimler Truck UK and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), with a focus on ensuring continuity for existing customers, Dealers and business partners as responsibility transfers to the new organisation.

Sid Sadique OBE, Chairman and Owner of FUSO Truck UK Ltd, said:

“Today marks an important milestone for FUSO Truck UK as we officially begin trading and take responsibility for the FUSO brand across Great Britain.”

Managing Director David Hamer will lead the day-to-day operations of FUSO Truck UK alongside Katie Crawford as Customer Service Director. Katie Crawford brings 15 years of commercial vehicle experience, having worked at leading OEMs and will be supporting in all day-to-day operations and has the responsibility of supporting both the Dealer Network and growing customer sales and customer experience.

David Hamer, Managing Director, FUSO Truck UK, said:

“FUSO already has an established reputation for practical, dependable commercial vehicles. We now have the opportunity to build on those foundations with a business focused entirely on the brand, backed by a strong Dealer network and a team with extensive experience of the UK commercial vehicle industry.”

Katie Crawford, Customer Service Director, FUSO Truck UK said:

“This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for FUSO in Great Britain, and we look forward to working closely with our customers, Dealers and partners as we develop the business. Our priority from day one is clear: to build a dedicated, responsive and customer-focused business that supports our Dealers and, ultimately, the operators who rely on FUSO vehicles every day.”

FUSO Truck UK will continue to support the established FUSO Canter range, including the all-electric eCanter, as demand for flexible and lower-emission commercial vehicle solutions continues to develop.

The launch of FUSO Truck UK follows wider changes to FUSO’s global business structure and the integration of the FUSO and Hino brands under the new holding company ARCHION. The new UK distribution structure provides a dedicated platform from which FUSO can continue to serve customers and develop its presence in Great Britain.

Further announcements from FUSO Truck UK, including details of its Dealer network and plans for the development of the business, will follow.
