In an effort to take efficiency a step further, we were the first manufacturer in New Zealand to introduce a mass-produced electric car; the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Our Outlander PHEV has brought new levels of efficiency to a growing number of Kiwi drivers. 

We’re also addressing and reducing the impact of our corporate activities, including the development, procurement, production, sales and aftersales servicing activities related to our vehicles. At a glance, here are our initiatives:

  • We forecast and assess the environmental impact of our products at all stages in their life cycle in conjunction with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC), giving particular priority to:
    • investing in technology that will reduce reliance on fossil fuels
    • minimising pollution by restricting emissions of greenhouse gases and other substances harmful to the environment
    • reducing waste and maximising resource conservation and recycling.
  • We comply with environmental regulations and agreements
  • We’re encouraging environmental sustainability from our business partners and suppliers
  • We publish environment-related information
  • We pursue conservation initiatives that preserve the natural environment and encourage others to do so.

We’ve been part of the New Zealand landscape for over 40 years and protecting it means a lot to us. Although we’re a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan we maintain a strong Kiwi perspective.

We operate out of Todd Park in Porirua, just north of Wellington, with a staff of 60. As locals, our focus is on the particular needs of New Zealand motorists and the effects we all have on our naturally diverse and beautiful country. Increasing efficiency and reducing environmental impact matters as much to us as it does to you.

We were the first automotive manufacturer to introduce mass-produced electric cars and plug-in hybrids to New Zealand. We are a pioneer of cleaner, greener motoring.

Close by our office is our facility for recycling used vehicle parts, which plays a major part in our sustainability efforts. We have also initiated a policy to ensure that end-of-life Li-ion batteries can be processed safely with the least amount of waste possible
