Mitsubishi, Meralco electric vehicle charging station at DENR Central Office



Top officials representing Meralco, Mitsubishi Motors, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were on hand to witness the official opening of an EV charging station held recently at the DENR Central Office in Quezon City.


Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC), and the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) unveiled its electric vehicle (EV) quick charging station at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Central Office in Quezon City held last February 15.

The charging station was donated by MMPC in fulfillment of its role in the reduction of environmental pollutions following a grant of 10 EV units from MMC from its Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) lines.

The i-MiEV is Mitsubishi’s five-door hatchback electric car, while the Outlander PHEV is the world’s first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle mid-size SUV.

“We are already working with the DENR to conduct a study on how to reduce carbon emissions through the use of electric vehicles. The creation of a charging infrastructure is a crucial step in enabling the market growth of electric vehicles in the Philippines,” said MMPC President and CEO Mutsuhiro Oshikiri.

Other EV charging stations lined up for installation at the DENR offices in Cebu and Davao, as well as the DTI office in Makati City, have also been donated by MMPC.

The car manufacturer has been at the forefront of EV development and was the first to bring in a pure electric car in the country. MMPC’s engagement with the DENR and DTI is just one of EV proliferations activities with various other Philippine government agencies and the private sector, including Meralco, in recent months.

Recognizing Meralco’s prominence in the power space, MMPC commissioned Meralco’s subsidiary, MSERV, to construct the EV charging stations equipped with CHAdeMO quick charging technology.

Alianța Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi anunță o “turbo” consolidare între membri: vânzări de 14 milioane de mașini în 2022

http://www.automarket.ro/stiri/alianta- ... 83081.html



Alianța Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi anunță accelerarea procesului de consolidare între cei trei membri ai săi, prin reducerea costurilor și creșterea profiturilor. Până în 2022, alianța vrea să ajungă la vânzări totale de 14 milioane de mașini pe an.


Alianța dintre Renault, Nissan și Mitsubishi a publicat un document ce anunță “lărgirea convergențelor în achiziții, inginerie și producție, precum și în lanțul de aprovizionare.”

Cei trei producători, prin vocea CEO-ului Carlos Ghosn, proaspăt reales în funcția de șef al Renault și al alianței, vor să accelereze procesul de consolidare prin reducerea costurilor și creșterea profiturilor.

Până în 2022, alianța vrea să atingă vânzări anuale de 14 milioane de mașini, comparativ cu cele 10.6 milioane de unități din 2017.

“Accelerăm convergența pentru a susține companiile membre cu sinergii în creștere. Alianța va accelera „turbo” performanțele și creșterea companiilor membre, în timp ce va păstra autonomia și strategiile distincte ale Renault, Nissan și Mitsubishi Motors,” a declarat Carlos Ghosn, președinte și CEO al alianței Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi.

Anul trecut, cele trei companii anunțaseră o țintă pentru creșterea sinergiilor anuale de peste 10 miliarde de euro până în 2022, față de cele 5 miliarde din 2016.

Mitsubishi opens new stamping shop in Santa Rosa. Raises Mirage local content to 35 percent



Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) is shifting Mirage production into high gear with the opening of a new stamping shop in its manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

The new Stamping shop contains a 2,000-ton stamping machine, the biggest of its kind in the Philippines. It has the capacity to produce 35,000 units, in two shifts per year, enabling Mitsubishi Motors to dramatically scale up local production of the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 sedan.

The addition of this machinery allows Mitsubishi to press body and chassis panels for the Mirage models within the factory. This reduces the need to import pressed body and chassis panels, and increases the local content of the Philippine-built vehicles. Prior to this, metal stamped parts were being ordered from Mitsubishi Motors Thailand Co. Ltd. (MMTh).

To achieve efficient operation of the machine, MMPC sent engineers to Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Japan (MMC) to learn the proper stamping processes, use, maintenance and repair of the machine, plus the care of the stamping die — the very part that presses and forms the parts out of sheet metal.

The opening of the new shop facility comes on the heels of the inauguration of the Santa Rosa Plant in 2015 and represents an important step in Mitsubishi Motors’ plans to expand its presence in the fast-growing Philippine automotive market.Since its inauguration in January 2015, MMPC’s Santa Rosa Plant has already provided 600 additional jobs.

Mitsubishi, after all, is the first car manufacturer to join the Philippine government’s Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) program. As agreed upon for the program, in 2023, MMPC will have produced 200,000 units of the Mirage and Mirage G4. Besides the promised quantity, another requirement is to locally source at least 50-percent of the vehicle’s assembly weigh.

The opening of the new Stamping shop coincides with the announcement that Mitsubishi Motors has raised the local content of the Mirage to 35-percent, and will increase it further to fulfil the key requirement of the CARS program.

“The opening of our new Stamping shop is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of Mitsubishi Motors’ operations here in Philippines. This Stamping shop enables us to turn the aspiration of localized production into a reality, further building our presence in the Philippines, at the same time as strengthening our offering to consumers,” said MutsuhiroOshikiri, MMPC President and CEO.

Mitsubishi vrea să scoată de la naftalină denumirea Colt: viitorul model va fi produs pe platforma noului Renault Clio

http://www.automarket.ro/stiri/mitsubis ... 83251.html



Mitsubishi are în plan dezvoltarea unui model subcompact bazat pe platforma viitorului Renault Clio. Dacă proiectul primește undă verde din partea conducerii, numele Colt ar putea reveni în oferta constructorului nipon.


Constructorul nipon Mitsubishi vrea să revină la nivel global cu un model de segment B. Guillaume Cartier, șeful departamentului de vânzări și marketing din Europa, spune că divizia de dezvoltare deja lucrează la un model subcompact, dar încă nu a fost luată o decizie finală.

În cazul în care proiectul primește undă verde din partea conducerii, modelul va împărți platforma cu actualul Nissan Micra și cu viitorul Renault Clio. În același timp, modelul proiectat de Mitsubishi va împrumuta din cadrul Alianței Renault-Nissan și o serie de tehnologii moderne. În aceste condiții, nu este exclus ca Mitsubishi să scoată de la naftalină numele Colt.

"Mitsubishi deține trei denumiri iconice: Pajero, Lancer și Colt. Dacă vom face o asociere cu numele Colt, atunci trebuie să avem și o mașină cu o personalitate corespunzătoare", a declarat oficialul Mitsubishi.

Dar fanii constructorului nipon mai au de așteptat. Același Guillaume Cartier spune că până în 2020 gama Mitsubishi nu o să primească niciun model nou.
