LOGAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has started limited vehicle assembly today at its main Kawasaki, Japan plant, following a shutdown as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Officials said the move was “intended to support the company’s customers around the world.” The company began limited parts production last week.

For the time being, vehicle production will continue on a limited and selected basis and will depend on parts availability and logistics, the power situation in Japan and related factors, officials said.
