Mitsubishi signs EVs agreement with Vietnam

Mitsubishi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of Vietnam under which they plan to explore how best to promote the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country.

Mitsubishi will work with Vietnam Industry Agency (VIA) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) to conduct a joint study of efficient EV usage and the public policy programs and incentives that could support the accelerated adoption of sustainable automotive technology.

An Outlander PHEV, a Mitsubishi's market-leading plug-in hybrid EV, and one unit of quick battery charger have been delivered to VIA – MOIT as part of the agreement. The announcement took place during a ceremony at the MOIT headquarters in Hanoi, attended by the MOIT Deputy Minister, VIA General Director and the government officials.

Vietnam is seeking ways to reduce CO2 emissions and to produce cleaner air and greener cities. Mitsubishi is considering another joint EV study in other cities in Vietnam as a test bed for environmentally conscious policies. Since Mitsubishi first entered Vietnam in 1994, the company has been committed to the development of the domestic auto market, and this Memorandum of Understanding represents the latest important milestone.

Mitsubishi, a global leader in plug-in hybrid EVs, continues to work to expand the use of EVs across the ASEAN region and support its transition to a low carbon economy.
