In the meantime, the Xpander production center, which operates on gasoline, is being exported to Thailand, where the 7-seater crossover is also being sent.
Currently, Mitsubishi has a factory in Thailand that assembles the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the latest Mitsubishi Outlander. That may be why Thailand was chosen to produce the hybrid version of the Mitsubishi Xpander instead of Indonesia.
In addition, Nikkei also revealed that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) expects the high-demand phase for its upcoming hybrid models to last at least 10 years. The Three Diamonds believes that “emerging economies” will require a period of adjustment before consumers here transition to electric vehicles (EVs) due to high prices and a lack of charging infrastructure.
There is also information that Mitsubishi plans to introduce a new SUV in November with a hybrid variant. It is possible that this new SUV could be the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport based on the all-new Triton that was launched last month.
Mitsubishi aims to increase the share of electrified vehicles sold worldwide to 50% by 2030 and to cease sales of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Southeast Asia is the most important market for Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, with the region contributing 70% of the company’s operating income in the past 5 years, despite primarily supplying vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICEs).
