At Mitsubishi Motors NZ (MMNZ) we're more than just cars and parts. We're proud to support a number of great charitable organisations and causes in New Zealand.
MMNZ's current community partners are;
Established in September 2022, Taskforce Kiwi largely consists of former members of the armed defence forces, police and emergency services, who volunteer alongside Kiwis from the wider community to offer their skills and experience in aid of local communities ‘on their worst day’.

In the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, Taskforce Kiwi sent 165 volunteers to assist in a range of operations, including debris clearance, missing person searches, needs assessments and aid coordination.
One essential requirement was quick availability of fit-for-purpose off-road vehicles, so Taskforce Kiwi national director Richard Adams got in touch with MMNZ. “We had the conversation on a Thursday and by Saturday they had four Triton utes ready and waiting for us”.
“Taskforce used our vehicles for ten weeks and they proved vital to their work, enabling them to have a greater impact on the ground, because they could navigate uncertain and dynamic environments that they couldn’t have accessed without them.
Taskforce Kiwi Director Adams said; “We used the Tritons for recon – checking roads nobody had been through since the cyclone, some of which were still heavily inundated with water – and we knew we could deploy volunteers safely in those vehicles. As we are a not-for-profit organisation, having the Tritons on loan at no cost was a massive boost.”
Now we have formalised the relationship, Taskforce Kiwi has received three long-term loan vehicles for day-to-day operations and, when required, emergency disaster relief. We also have additional vehicles on hold incase events require extra assistance.
