Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America has developed a new repair and maintenance parts program for its medium-duty commercial trucks.

Dubbed the Diamond Value Parts Program, it supplies authorized dealers and service points with a line of parts that Mitsubishi Fuso says allows them to compete with aftermarket maintenance and repair operations.

All parts that are part of the program are intended for use after expiration of the Fuso warranty. Mitsubishi Fuso has vetted every product in the program. Total product lifetimes may be slightly shorter than those for genuine Mitsubishi Fuso parts, but the company says durability, performance and efficiency are nearly a match.

The Diamond Value Parts Program will cover more than 25 maintenance and repair parts, including air, fuel and oil filters, belts, hoses and brake pads.

"Even though we offer an industry-leading five-year/175,000-mile powertrain warranty, many Fuso owners keep their trucks well beyond expiration of our warranty," says Len Doherty, vice president, parts operations. "To help them keep their Fuso trucks in service even longer, we can now offer competitively priced maintenance and repair parts they can still trust, installed by factory-trained technicians"
