Since 2023, it has aimed to increase the share of hybrid and electric vehicles in total sales to 50%, and it plans to discontinue internal combustion engine models by 2035. ### **Product Range** ##### **SUV and Passenger Models** Outlander (ICE and PHEV versions) Eclipse Cross Outlander Sport / ASX Mirage / Mirage G4 ##### **Hybrid and Electric Models** Outlander PHEV (plug-in hybrid SUV) i‑MiEV (fully electric compact vehicle) Minicab‑MiEV (light commercial BEV) Planned BEV SUV model after 2026 (Foxconn collaboration) Updated hybrid SUV models for the Japanese market ### **Electric Vehicle Technology** Mitsubishi develops BEV and PHEV technologies based on the AmpR platform. Prioritizing weight reduction, efficiency, and manufacturing simplicity, the company plans to produce special BEV models for the Australian and Oceania markets in partnership with Foxconn starting in 2026. The existing hybrid infrastructure, especially in the SUV segment, is maintained. ### **Global Production Network and Financial Performance** As of the 2024 fiscal year, Mitsubishi’s total production volume was 1,010,353 units. Production has been carried out in countries including Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the USA.

The Outlander was the best-selling model again in regional markets. ### **Strategic Goals and Future Vision** 100% Electrification (2035): All new vehicles sold are planned to be hybrid or fully electric. Foxconn Partnership: BEV production from 2026 (for Australia and New Zealand). Alliance Sharing: Platform sharing continues with Nissan and Renault; direct participation in the Ampere investment is not planned.
