Mitsubishi Motors to mass-produce electric motorcar in 2010
Quote:
[Asia] Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said Thursday it plans to mass-produce electric motorcars in 2010, while launching a brand-new model of a sport utility vehicle this fall and a mini-vehicle model in January next year...
Masuko said the envisaged electric car will have a lithium-ion battery, emitting no gas and requiring only one-fifth the energy to drive compared with hybrid gasoline-electric cars.
The electric car will be modeled on the mini-vehicle called i, also a brand-new model, and have an "in-wheel motor" system in which a motor is directly attached to the wheels, according to a company official. The car will make its first test run next year, the official said.
