Mitsuoka Motor Co Ltd has unveiled its Fusion sleeping/funeral car based on minivans.
It features both convenience as a sleeping car and functionality as a funeral car. It can carry a body from a hospital to a funeral home (as a sleeping car) and from the funeral home to a crematory (as a funeral car).
Mitsuoka said it made the Fusion based on Toyota Motor Corp's Alphard, Vellfire, Estima and other minivans. Its price starts from ¥4,665,600.
The price of the Fusion is about 30% lower than those of existing funeral cars developed based on Toyota's Crown because the new vehicle does not require major changes such as the cutting of a frame and welding.
