Buses are probably some of the least exciting vehicles, yet some of the most important, if we think about their role in communities. Public transportation is responsible not only for a significant percentage of the global CO2 emissions but, most importantly, for the safety of children and other passengers. Which is why driver assistance and fleet management technologies are becoming essential. Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) is mostly known for its wide range of trucks, from the Super Great heavy-duty model to the Canter light-duty one and, more recently, the eCanter version. The lesser-known Mitsubishi Fuso bus range includes Aero Star, Aero Queen, and Rosa – which is the light-duty model.

This light-duty bus that is mostly operated as a shuttle or school bus throughout Japan, is now boasting some interesting upgrades for improved safety and operation management. Mitsubishi equipped the Rosa bus with additional daytime running lights, which are mandatory on any vehicle, plus automatic lights, for those times when the driver forgets to turn them on.
