MITSUBISHI MOTOR'S

Mitsubishi Motor's automotive tradition goes back to 1917 when the Mitsubishi Model A,

Japan's first series-production automobile, was introduced. Over the next two decades the

company established themselves as an innovator, developing, amongst others, Japan's first diesel

engine, its first large-sized bus (the start of the world famous Fuso commercial vehicle series), its

first four-wheel drive passenger car prototype, and its first diesel-powered truck.

At the end of the Second World War Japan's large industrial groups were dismantled by order of

the Allied powers and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was split into three regional companies, each

with an involvement in motor vehicle development.

The country's major need at this time was for commercial vehicles, the situation being further

complicated during the first few years by a severe fuel shortage. In consequence 1946 saw the

introduction of a bus which could be run on either petrol or alternative fuels, and, in 1947, an

electric bus; in the truck field the innovations continued with Japan's first truck to be equipped

with an air suspension system, as well as the first tilt-cab truck. Passenger vehicle production

was confined primarily to Mitsubishi's first scooter.

By the beginning of the 1960s, however, Japan's economy was gearing up: wages were rising

and the idea of family motoring was taking off. The Mitsubishi 500, a mass market saloon,

fulfilled this need; followed, in 1962, by a four-seater micro-compact with a two-stroke air-

cooled 359cc engine, the Minica - a name which still lives today. The first Colt -a larger, more

comfortable family car, not a predecessor of the modern Colt - was also introduced in the same

year, and the first Galant in 1969. This was a genuine pacesetter in the Japanese market,

representing the best and latest in automotive technology and was to sire a long and illustrious

line with a string of motor sports honours and consumer awards to its name.

With similar growth in its commercial vehicle production it was decided that the company

should create a single operation to focus on the automotive industry and, in 1970, the Mitsubishi

Motors Corporation (MMC) was formed.

The 1970s saw the beginning of Mitsubishi's considerable international rallying success with

Galants and Lancers, demonstrating the qualities of performance and reliability for which they

are known today.

By the end of the decade Mitsubishi vehicles were picking up honours both at home and abroad,

including South Africa's 1977 "Car of the Year" (the Galant) and 1979 "USA's Pick-up of the

Year" (the L200). But this was just the start. In 1982 the Pajero/Montero was launched, a 4x4

which was quite different from anything that had been seen before. Quite incredibly, just a few

months later in the Paris-Dakar rally, it took honours in the Production Class and the Marathon

Class, as well as the Best Team award. Two years later it won outright and a legend was born.

The Shogun became a global best-seller, winning "4x4 of the Year" awards in Britain, France,

Australia, Spain and West Germany. And it was not alone on the honours list - Galants, Colts,

Lancers and L200s were all being honoured worldwide.

Throughout the 1990s the Pajero/ Montero continued to dominate rally events like the Dakar,

and Mitsubishi vehicles also began to make their mark on the World Rally Championships. By

the end of the century Tommi Makinen in a Lancer had won the Championship an historic four

consecutive times whilst Lancers totally dominated the Group N Championships - for vehicles

which are basically showroom standard.

Technologically this decade saw incredible advances. In 1990 MMC introduced the world's first

Traction Control System, followed by Super Select 4WD and Multi-mode ABS in 1991 and

INVECS in 1992. Commercial production of the Libero electric car began in 1994 whilst 1996

saw the development of the GDI engine.

In terms of motor-sport, the strength of Mitsubishi's 4x4 heritage was yet again demonstrated by

a record breaking 12th victory in the 2007 Dakar rally - the seventh successive victory for the

Japanese manufacturer. Today, MMC has manufacturing facilities in over 30 countries and its

sales and after-sales organization is present in more than 170 countries.

As part of a global expansion programme, in 1998 Indian distribution was ensured with the

formation of "The Chennai Car Plant", a technical collaboration between the Mitsubishi Motors

Corporation Japan and Hindustan Motors Limited.

WORLD WAR II

Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter.

During the Second World War, Mitsubishi manufactured aircraft under the direction of Dr. Jiro

Horikoshi. The Mitsubishi A6M ("Zero") was a primary Japanese naval fighter in World War II.

It was used by Imperial Japanese Navypilots throughout the war, including in kamikaze attacks

during the later stages. Allied pilots were astounded by its maneuverability, and it was very

successful in combat until the Allies devised tactics to utilize their advantage in firepower and

diving speed.

Mitsubishi made use offorced laborduring this time period. Laborers included allied POWs, as

well as Chinese and Korean citizens. In the post-war period, lawsuits and demands for

compensations were presented against the Mitsubishi Corporation, in particular by formerChinese slave laborers.

Mitsubishi was involved in the opium trade in China during this period.

1945 to present

Mitsubishi participated in Japan's unprecedented economic growth of the 1950s and 1960s. For

example, as Japan modernized its energy and materials industries, the Mitsubishi companies

created Mitsubishi Petrochemical, Mitsubishi Atomic Power Industries, Mitsubishi Liquefied

Petroleum Gas, and Mitsubishi Petroleum Development.

snap!

A. Fold the front-row and 2ndrow seats completely flat to create a comfortable sleeping area for

when you need to rest.

B. Fold the 3rd-row seats down flat to create a wide utility space with room to spare for five

people (7-seater only)

C. Fold down part of the 60:40 split 2nd-row to store long items and still have ample room for

your passengers


18/22

To provide as much carrying space as possible, the 3rd - row can be folded flat and 2nd-row

folded forward and out of the way. You can also fold down just one par of the 60:40 split 2nd -row for carrying extra long cargo.

The 3rd-row seats can be easily folded and unfolded separately, giving you plenty of room for

groceries, suitcases or bulky cargo, while still leaving lot of seating space for all your passengers.
