The chairman of the industrial giant of Tokyo, Osamu Masuko, has been all too clear: "We want to increase sales at a global level - he said - offering competitive middle-class vehicles primarily for emerging markets, but also new SUV for mature markets" .In addition to these objectives, Mitsubishi Motors is in full swing on the front of the electric and hybrid vehicles to support an environmentally sustainable mobility. In this particular area has announced plans to produce no less than eight models by 2015. The first is a reality, and she talks of the i-MiEV - twin iOn Peugeot and Citroen C-Zero - launched in 2009 and sold in Europe starting this year.
Let us recall that the Japanese assembly lines are also making their small cars built by the French group PSA Peugeot-Citroen. Other new compact will be the Px-MiEV (crossover hybrid've seen in Tokyo 2009), Cargo MiEV and the heir of Colt for the time being, by identifying with the Mitsubishi Concept Global Small with small engines (1,000 or 1,200 displacement ), regenerative braking, Stop & Start system and CVT transmission.
