But none of the makers was producing medium-sized trucks in the 2.5 to 4-ton class. The Jupiter T10 was the first vehicle to fill this gap in the medium truck field. Trucks in this series could carry a high-speed diesel engine that was basically a diesel version of the Jeep gasoline engine, and the series was the first to offer a wide selection of models, including different combinations of wheelbases. In 1958, prototypes were built of the 2.5-ton T10 and the 3-ton T11, and production and sales of both models began the following year. The successor model, the T22, was a full-fledged medium truck with a stronger chassis and a more powerful engine. Storage location : MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION MIZUSHIMA PLANT GENERAL AFFAIRS DIV.
