2.8 Issue of letter of no objection
2.8.1 Letter of no objection
MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION does
not issue body/equipment approval certificates for
bodies not manufactured by MITSUBISHI FUSO
TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION These directives only
supply important information and technical
specifications to body manufacturers explaining how
to handle the product. For this reason, MITSUBISHI
FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION 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 & BUS CORPORATION
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 & BUS CORPORATION
issues letter of no objection voluntarily based on the
following criteria:
MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK & BUS CORPORATION'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.
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 characteris-
tics. Accordingly, it shall be the sole duty and respon-
sibility 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.
