MMC also started left-hand drive European-spec i-MiEV production from October 2010, and says it is ‘steadily proceeding with global rollout of EVs’.
In fiscal year 2011 MMC plans to transfer production of the i-MiEV from the current commercial vehicle assembly line to the minicar assembly line for cars. It says that is necessary in order to further expand its production scale via starting North American-spec i-MiEV production.
