Mitsubishi-Fuso launches major global hiring campaign

Yahoo18-07-2025
Japanese commercial vehicle manufacturer Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) has launched its largest-ever global 'mid-career' recruitment campaign, involving countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The company, a majority-owned subsidiary of Germany's Daimler Truck AG, is looking to recruit mainly professional staff ahead of its planned merger with Hino Motors.
MFTBC is 89.29%-owned by Daimler Truck AG, with the remaining 10.71% of its shares held by various Mitsubishi group companies. The merger with Hino is scheduled to be formally completed at the end of the current fiscal year, in March 2026.
MFTBC confirmed that more than 300 new permanent positions have become available at its operations in Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Portugal, in the areas of research and development (R&D), supply chain and quality management, procurement, international sales and aftersales, IT, finance, legal and compliance, and human resources.
The truck-maker said that it aims to strengthen the Fuso brand ahead of the company's merger with Hino, with more jobs expected to be created globally after the merger is completed, as the global commercial vehicle industry tackles the challenges associated with CASE technology trends and driver shortages.
MFTBC said it has a diverse global workforce, with staff of more than 65 different nationalities employed in approximately 170 markets worldwide. The company also claims to be the first automaker in Japan to introduce remote working, in 2014, and currently offers employees in Japan the option of 'flex time' and remote working.

Analysis-Out-gunned Europe accepts least-worst US trade deal

By Mark John LONDON (Reuters) -In the end, Europe found it lacked the leverage to pull Donald Trump's America into a trade pact on its terms and so has signed up to a deal it can just about stomach - albeit one that is clearly skewed in the U.S.'s favour. As such, Sunday's agreement on a blanket 15% tariff after a months-long stand-off is a reality check on the aspirations of the 27-country European Union to become an economic power able to stand up to the likes of the United States or China. The cold shower is all the more bracing given that the EU has long portrayed itself as an export superpower and champion of rules-based commerce for the benefit both of its own soft power and the global economy as a whole. For sure, the new tariff that will now be applied is a lot more digestible than the 30% "reciprocal" tariff which Trump threatened to invoke in a few days. While it should ensure Europe avoids recession, it will likely keep its economy in the doldrums: it sits somewhere between two tariff scenarios the European Central Bank last month forecast would mean 0.5-0.9% economic growth this year compared to just over 1% in a trade tension-free environment. But this is nonetheless a landing point that would have been scarcely imaginable only months ago in the pre-Trump 2.0 era, when the EU along with much of the world could count on U.S. tariffs averaging out at around 1.5%. Even when Britain agreed a baseline tariff of 10% with the United States back in May, EU officials were adamant they could do better and - convinced the bloc had the economic heft to square up to Trump - pushed for a "zero-for-zero" tariff pact. It took a few weeks of fruitless talks with their U.S. counterparts for the Europeans to accept that 10% was the best they could get and a few weeks more to take the same 15% baseline which the United States agreed with Japan last week. "The EU does not have more leverage than the U.S., and the Trump administration is not rushing things," said one senior official in a European capital who was being briefed on last week's negotiations as they closed in around the 15% level. That official and others pointed to the pressure from Europe's export-oriented businesses to clinch a deal and so ease the levels of uncertainty starting to hit businesses from Finland's Nokia to Swedish steelmaker SSAB. "We were dealt a bad hand. This deal is the best possible play under the circumstances," said one EU diplomat. "Recent months have clearly shown how damaging uncertainty in global trade is for European businesses." NOW WHAT? That imbalance - or what the trade negotiators have been calling "asymmetry" - is manifest in the final deal. Not only is it expected that the EU will now call off any retaliation and remain open to U.S. goods on existing terms, but it has also pledged $600 billion of investment in the United States. The time-frame for that remains undefined, as do other details of the accord for now. As talks unfolded, it became clear that the EU came to the conclusion it had more to lose from all-out confrontation. The retaliatory measures it threatened totalled some 93 billion euros - less than half its U.S. goods trade surplus of nearly 200 billion euros. True, a growing number of EU capitals were also ready to envisage wide-ranging anti-coercion measures that would have allowed the bloc to target the services trade in which the United States had a surplus of some $75 billion last year. But even then, there was no clear majority for targeting the U.S. digital services which European citizens enjoy and for which there are scant homegrown alternatives - from Netflix to Uber to Microsoft cloud services. It remains to be seen whether this will encourage European leaders to accelerate the economic reforms and diversification of trading allies to which they have long paid lip service but which have been held back by national divisions. Describing the deal as a painful compromise that was an "existential threat" for many of its members, Germany's BGA wholesale and export association said it was time for Europe to reduce its reliance on its biggest trading partner. "Let's look on the past months as a wake-up call," said BGA President Dirk Jandura. "Europe must now prepare itself strategically for the future - we need new trade deals with the biggest industrial powers of the world."

Factbox-Key elements of EU-U.S. trade deal agreed on Sunday

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The U.S. and the European Union agreed on a framework trade deal on Sunday, ending months of uncertainty for industry and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. Here are the main elements of the deal: * Almost all EU goods entering the U.S. will be subject to a 15% baseline tariff, including cars, which now face 27.5%, as well as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. The 15% tariff is the maximum tariff and is not added to any existing rates. * However, the U.S. is to announce the result of its 232 trade investigations in two weeks and decide separately on tariff rates for chips and pharmaceuticals. Whatever U.S. decisions come later on these sectors will be "on a different sheet of paper", European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. * The U.S. and EU will have zero-for-zero tariffs on all aircraft and their components, certain chemicals, certain generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials. More products would be added. The situation for spirits is still to be established. * Tariffs on European steel and aluminium will stay at 50%, but von der Leyen said these would later be cut and replaced by a quota system. * The EU pledged to buy $250 billion of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) a year for three years, totalling $750 billion in total, as it replaces Russian gas. The EU will also buy nuclear fuel from the U.S. * Under the deal, the EU pledged to buy U.S. military equipment and European companies are to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the course of Trump's second term.

During this episode, Cramer's co-host David Faber discussed reports of Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific merging. Faber outlined that issues in the railroad industry, such as streamlining traffic flows through the Chicago interchange and the handoff of significant volumes in Chicago yards, were driving incentives for railroads to merge. For the deal to proceed, here's what Cramer believes: '[On talks of a merger] 5 year pledge to not raise prices, deal gets done.' Cramer discussed how Norfolk Southern Corporation (NASDAQ:NSC) might be ripe for a deal: 'I think that Norfolk Southern could be vulnerable.'
