MR Series(1950 - 1977)

Mitsubishi Japan Heavy Industries (at that time) was the first route car to adopt a frameless monocoque structure, and was announced in 1959. There was an MR series with leaf suspension (leaf spring) specifications and a MAR series with air suspension (air spring) specifications. In addition, the R (leaf suspension) / AR (air suspension) series continued to be available for models with frames, and (A) the R300 series and (A) R400 series were available. The initial lineup was divided into the M(A)R300 series, which had an inline 6-cylinder DB31 engine (165 PS) mounted transversely, and the M(A)R400 series, which had the same engine mounted vertically, but the year after its appearance, the production of transverse engine cars was discontinued, and it was unified into the M(A)R400 series. The models were subdivided according to the length of the body and wheelbase, and there were minor changes with each minor change, but the 10 m length M(A)R410 type and the 10.5 m length M(A)R470 won the support of many bus operators and became the best-selling model of route cars at the time.

In addition, in 1963 , the MR430 was released as a long car. It was a unique vehicle for a route bus vehicle with a total length of 12 m and two front wheels, but due to the road conditions at that time, there were few situations where long cars could be fully utilized, and because it was too large, there were restrictions on the running road, so JNR Bus, Nagoya railways, Asahikawa Bus (merged with Asahikawa Electric Railway)^[1] were only 14 sales results to the three companies, 11 Fuji Heavy Industries bodies and 3 Kure bodies.
