Mitsubishi has been experimenting with the same system in the Netherlands and plan to adopt it in Japan starting with the Smart-based Z car, jointly developed with DaimlerChrysler and scheduled for introduction in 2004.
Mitsubishi says that the new system will shorten delivery time to only two weeks.
