Mitsubishi Motors president Katsuhiko Kawasoe said he expects to announce a cost-cutting plan for its operations in Australia in the next several days that may include closing the company’s production facilities in Adelaide.
He said the company needs to cut back operations there and reduce the work force, although he hoped to keep the plant open.
Kawasoe also told reporters that Mitsubishi and DaimlerChrysler will jointly develop a compact car called the “Z car” for the world market in the next four years.
