Mitsubishi's Electrification Journey
Mitsubishi has a longstanding history in electric vehicle innovation. In 2009, it introduced the i-MiEV, the world's first mass-produced electric car. Building on this legacy, the company launched the Outlander PHEV in 2013, the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV, which arrived in Canada in 2017. The Outlander PHEV has since become Canada's best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV, offering a blend of electric efficiency and SUV versatility.(Mitsubishi Motors Canada)
Introducing the New BEV
The upcoming BEV will be developed in collaboration with Nissan, Mitsubishi's Alliance partner, and will be produced in North America. This vehicle will complement the existing Outlander PHEV, providing Canadian consumers with more electrified options to suit their driving needs.(PRESSBEE, Mitsubishi Motors Canadian Newsroom)
Momentum 2030: A Vision for the Future
Mitsubishi's Momentum 2030 plan outlines a commitment to introducing new or refreshed vehicles annually from fiscal 2026 through 2030. The strategy focuses on diversifying the company's offerings across various segments, emphasizing electrification through hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles.(Mitsubishi Motors Canada, Mitsubishi Motors Canada)
