When you say the word Mitsubishi, it can mean a lot of things. After all, the Mitsubishi is a brand that is used by a lot of companies. Mitsubishi, in fact, is actually a Japanese conglomerate that consists of many and varied autonomous companies and businesses which share the Mitsubishi brand and trademark. And aside from the Mitsubishi trademark, these companies have a common legacy and tradition of excellence which dates back as far as the 19th century. The first Mitsubishi company was a shipping firm founded by Yataro Iwasaki in 1873, with the name Mitsubishi Shokai. Later, Mitsubishi expanded to include coal mining, shipbuilding, banking, insurance, warehousing and trade, and had a diverse array of products ranging from paper, steel, electrical parts, automobiles, and even aircraft. Mitsubishi gained a role in world history in terms of aviation as it was the manufacturer of the famous Zero aircraft which was widely used in aerial conflicts in World War II. And after the war, Mistubishi was divided into various companies that were independent of each other in 1946 but still utilized the technology acquired by Mitsubishi and its technical strengths as well. And among of these companies are Mistubishi Motors and the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, which are entirely devoted to the manufacture of cars and trucks respectively. These divisions of the Mitsubishi conglomerate supplied cars and trucks to an international market, mainly in Europe, United States and the Far East as well as automobile components like Mitsubishi Truck Parts and Mitsubishi Truck Accessories.
