Ritchies Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter FKH250H8 Designline 431
Whatever the weather in Rotorua the sulphurous air is unavoidable. On a wet morning in November 2017 this Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter FKH250H8 truck has been bodied as a school bus by Designline. This odd design, reminsicent of trailer buses is a fairly common practice in New Zealand and Ritchies has a fleet of over one hundred such school buses. Doubtless, at times, the driver is grateful to be in a separate compartment to his passengers. This is 431 (FZF597), new in 2011.
