Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA), Logan Township, NJ, announced its 2012 North American Dealer of the Year awards. Each year, MFTA recognizes its most outstanding dealers in the U.S. and Canada for overall performance, for sales, for parts sales, and for service performance. In addition, the company honors the dealer salesperson of the year.

“These awards aren't just about numbers,” explained Todd Bloom, MFTA President and CEO. “They are based on an evaluation of each dealer’s performance in a number of categories. In 2012, we found ourselves still facing a weak economic recovery, with only slowly improving product demand. Yet these dealers found a way not only to compete and survive, but also to improve their business and their contribution to MFTA’s success.”
