Mitsubishi to supply Suzuki with EVs



Mitsubishi Motors Corp said it plans to supply electric minivehicles for commercial use to Suzuki Motor Corp on an OEM basis from February of next year.

Suzuki will receive the Minicab-MiEV, which is set to debut by the year-end. Suzuki will market it under its own brand name, adding the first electric vehicle to its lineup. It is not known in which markets the vehicle will be sold, probably Japan only.

Mitsubishi plans to build around 4,000 of the vehicles in the financial year to next March.
