Trucking news and briefs for Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025:
Daimler Truck AG and Toyota Motor Corporation have announced that the previously announced merging of their subsidiaries -- Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation and Hino Motors -- will be named Archion.
The combined business will begin operations on April 1, 2026, based on the final agreement regarding the business integration between Daimler and Toyota.
The name Archion embodies the essence of “arches,” the companies said, representing the connection between the companies and their stakeholders, as well as to each other. “Eons” represents the creation of the future of transportation, connecting to a better life for the next generation. Together the concepts were reformed into Archion.
With the aim of “delivering the future of commercial mobility,” Archion embodies the shared aspiration of Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso, Toyota, and Daimler Truck to contribute to a prosperous society through mobility, the companies added.
The companies said the new name reflects their commitment to enhance business efficiency and sharpen competitiveness through integration, while promoting safe, reliable and environmentally friendly vehicles. At the same time, the Archion Group (Archion Corporation as the holding company, Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino as operating companies) aims to elevate the value of mobility to society.
