1 Introduction

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp., 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 and Bus Corp. cannot take into account all the possible modifications to the vehicle, e.g. performance, stability, load distribution, centre of gravity and handling characteristics, that may result from the design of attachments, bodies, equipment or modifications. For this reason, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. can accept no body manufacturer liability for accidents or injuries sustained as a result of such modifications to the vehicles if such modifications have a negative impact on the overall vehicle. Accordingly, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. will only assume liability as vehicle manufacturer within the scope of the design, production 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 obligation is violated in any way, the body manufacturer shall assume full product liability. The body/equipment mounting directives enable Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. to instruct the body manufacturer 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 manufacturer 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 modifications is given.

1.3 Vehicle safety

1.3 Vehicle safety

a Risk of accident and injury

The use of parts, assemblies or conversion parts and accessories which have not been approved may jeopardise the safety of the vehicle.

Before installing any attachments, special-purpose bodies, equipment or carrying out any modifications 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 recognise 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.

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 exhaust emissions or noise levels

i

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.

Notes on vehicle safety Mitsubishi Fuso recommends

using appropriate parts only for each particular vehicle model.

2.3 Issue of letter of no objection

2.3.1Letter of no objection

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. does not issue body/equipment approval certificates for bodies not manufactured by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. These directives only supply important information and technical specifications to body manufacturers explaining how to handle the product. For this reason, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. recommends that all work on the basic vehicle and body be carried out in compliance with the Mitsubishi Fuso body/ equipment mounting directives.

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. advises against attachments, bodies, equipment and modifications which:

•are not produced in accordance with Mitsubishi Fuso Body/Equipment Mounting Directives

•exceed the permitted maximum gross vehicle weight

•exceed the permissible axle loads

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. issues a letter of no objection voluntarily based on the following criteria:

Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp.'s assessment shall be based solely on the documents submitted by the body manufacturer carrying out the modifications. The assessment and the endorsement shall only cover the expressly defined scopes and their basic compatibility with the designated chassis and its connection points or, in the case of chassis modifications, the basic feasibility of the design for the designated chassis.

2.3 Issue of letter of no objection

The letter of no objection shall not refer to the overall design of the body, its functions or its intended field of operation. No objection shall only apply if design, production and assembly are performed by the body manufacturer carrying out the modifications in accordance with the state of the art and in compliance with the valid Mitsubishi Fuso body / equipment Mounting Directives – unless deviations have been endorsed in these directives. Nevertheless, the letter of no objection shall not release the body manufacturer carrying out the modifications from his product liability or his obligation to perform his own calculations, tests and trials on the overall vehicle in order to ensure that the overall vehicle produced by the company meets the required specifications for operating and road safety and handling characteristics. Accordingly, it shall be the sole duty and responsibility of the body manufacturer to ensure the compatibility of his attachments, bodies, equipment and modifications with the basic vehicle and to guarantee the operating and road safety of the vehicle.

All national laws, directives and registration requirements must be complied with.

2.3.2Required documents

In individual cases, the body drawings may be submitted to the department responsible before the start of work Page 14. The drawings shall contain the following information:

•All deviations from Mitsubishi Fuso body/ equipment mounting directives.

•Complete data on dimensions, weights and centre of gravity (weight certificates)

•Attachment of body to the chassis

•Vehicle operating conditions, e.g.

–on poor roads

–in very dusty conditions

–at high altitude

–at extremely high or low ambient temperatures

•Certificates ("e" mark, seat tensile strength test, etc.)

Submitting the required documentation in full will make queries on our part unnecessary and will speed up the approval procedure.

If complex calculations and/or vehicle tests are necessary for the no objection check, all costs incurred must be borne by the vehicle body/conversion manufacturer or its client. The extent of testing required is defined by the relevant department of Mitsubishi Fuso Truck Development Page 14.

2.3Issue of letter of no objection

2.3.3Legal claim

•No legal claim can be made as to the issue of a letter of no objection.

•Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. reserves the right to refuse the issue of a letter of no objection due to ongoing technical development and the knowledge gained from it, even if a similar certificate was issued in the past.

•A letter of no objection may be restricted

to individual vehicles.

•Subsequent issuance of a letter of no objection for vehicles already completed or delivered can be refused.

The body manufacturer alone shall be responsible for:

•The functionality and compatibility of its bodies and equipment, fittings and conversions with the basic vehicle

•Operating and road safety

•All bodies and equipment, fittings, conversions and installed parts

2.4 Product safety

2.4 Product safety

Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufacturer 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 modifications

•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, gearbox linkage, etc.) even in the case of diagonal torsion between the chassis and the bodies

2.4 Product safety

2.4.1Guarantee of traceability

Hazards in your implement/body which become known after delivery may necessitate supplementary measures in the market (customer notification, warnings, recalls). In order to make these measures as efficient 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

2.6 Recycling of components

H Environmental note

When planning attachments, bodies, equipment and modifications, and with regard to the legal requirements according to EU Directive 2000/53/EC, the following principles for environ- mentally-compatible design and material selection shall be taken into account.

Materials with risk potential, 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; coloured plastic parts are to be used instead.

•Components in areas at risk from accidents must be designed in such a way that they are damagetolerant, 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.

2.7 Quality system

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 organisational 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 and Bus Corp. 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?

3 Planning of bodies

3.1 Selecting the chassis

3.1 Selecting the chassis

!

When planning attachments, bodies, equipment or modification work, the selected vehicle must be checked to verify whether it fulfils the necessary requirements.

In order to ensure safe operation of the vehicle, it is essential to choose the chassis and equipment carefully in accordance with the intended use.

Along with the selection of the correct vehicle version, the required series and special equipment such as

•Wheelbase

•Engine/gearbox

•Power take-offs

•Axle ratio

•Position of the centre of gravity

•Legal registration requirements (e.g. underride guard)

•Permissible and technical gross vehicle weight

should be taken into consideration and be appropriate for the intended use.

!

Observe the Model. The axle designation or the load capacity of the tyres has only limited relevance to the gross weight of the vehicle.

i

The non-availability of a vehicle version may be an indication that the vehicle is not suitable for the intended application.

3.2 Vehicle modifications

3.2 Vehicle modifications

a Risk of accident

Do not carry out any modifications to major assemblies (steering, brake system etc.). Any modifications to the steering and the brake system may result in these systems malfunctioning and ultimately failing. The driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.

Alterations to the basic vehicle are permitted only within the framework of the procedures described in this body/equipment mounting directive.

Standard production vehicles comply ex factory with EU Directives and national regulations

The vehicles must still comply with EC Directives or national regulations after modifications have been carried out.

The body manufacturer must inform the officially recognised approval authority or inspector of any modifications to the chassis when the vehicle is inspected. If necessary, present a letter of no objection from Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. (e.g. drawing with approval note) or the applicable body/equipment mounting directive.

Following all work on the brake system, i.e. even if merely disassembling parts, a complete check (operation, effectiveness and visibility) of the entire brake system must be performed.

a Risk of accident

The vehicle tyre load capacity may not be exceeded by overloading the vehicle beyond its specified gross vehicle weight. The tyres could overheat and suffer damage. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident with possible injury to yourself and others.

Information on the permissible axle loads can be found on the vehicle model plate.

All legal provisions governing the permissible vehicle height must be taken into account when planning bodies. In the Federal Republic of Germany the permissible vehicle height is limited to max. 4 m. In other countries (and if the vehicle is operated on international services), comply with all the relevant national regulations.

Dimensions and weight details can be found in the drawings and technical data. They are based on a vehicle that is fitted with standard equipment. Weight tolerances of ±3% in production must be taken into consideration (2003/19/EC).

The permissible axle loads and the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight specified in the technical data may not be exceeded.

The technical data can be found in the vehicle documents or on the vehicle model plate.

i

Information about changes in weight is available from the department responsible page 14.

3.5 Tyres

3.5 Tyres

The body manufacturer must ensure that:

•the largest permissible tyres can be fitted.

•the distance between the tyre and the mudguard or wheel housing is sufficient even when snow or antiskid chains are fitted, with the suspension fully compressed (including any twist) (Adherence to valid regulations).

•that the relevant information in the drawings is observed.

If the option of fitting snow and anti-skid chains cannot be guaranteed, the operator should be informed by the body manufacturer (operating instructions).

a Risk of accident

Exceeding the specified tyre load-bearing capacity or the permissible maximum tyre speed can lead to tyre damage or failure. You can lose control of the vehicle, cause an accident and injuries.

For this reason, only fit tyres of a type and size approved for your vehicle and observe the tyre loadbearing capacity required for your vehicle. Observe tyre speed index.

Comply with national regulations governing the approval of tyres. These regulations may define a specific type of tyre for your vehicle or may forbid the use of certain tyre types which are approved in other countries.

!

If you have other wheels fitted

•the brakes or components of the suspension system could be damaged

•wheel and tyre clearance can no longer be guaranteed

•the brakes or components of the suspension system can no longer function correctly.
