MITSUBISHI is following Hino on to the Irish lorry market, and plans to sell up to 500 vehicles in the first year.
• McCairns (PM PA) Ltd has signed an agreement to import and distribute the vehicles, which will be assembled at its Dublin premises. The range starts with the 5.5 ton Canter, includes the FK1 15 9.25-tonner, and the 14-ton FM.
The Irish company is looking at the possibility of extending the range to include larger Mitsubishi lorries and may build 32or 38-tonne tractive units if demand exists.
But McCairns, which once assembled Bedfords for the Irish market, says it has no immediate plans to sell the Japanese lorries in Britain.
