Wednesday September 19, 12:57 AMMitsubishi moves some SUV production to NetherlandsAMSTERDAM, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Motors Corp said on Tuesday it would transfer the production of its Outlander car for the European market to the Netherlands due to strong demand and to free up production capacity in Japan.Mitsubishi's Dutch facility, called NedCar, will produce about 20,000 SUV Outlander cars in 2008 and 30,000 in subsequent years, a NedCar spokesman said. NedCar already produces about 70,000 of Mitsubishi's Colt model, he said. Strong demand for Mitsubishi's Outlander model in Europe and its new Lancer model worldwide were reasons to shift Outlander production to the Netherlands, Mitsubishi said in a statement. The Japanese carmaker also said it wanted to ease the strain on production capacity at its Mizushima plant in Japan. |
