Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has improved its Triton pickup and is aiming to lift its sales by a fifth.


Malaysia’s Business Times newspaper reported that MMM CEO  Keizo Ono said the firm is now targeting sales of 500 Tritons a month or 6,000 a year, instead of 400 units and 4,800 pa, as previously.


He told the paper that the higher sales will help boost its market share in the pick-up truck segment to 21 per cent in the current financial year ending March 31 2010, from 19.2 per cent a year ago.


Ono said the company is also optimistic that car sales will improve as the economy takes a turn.


“Sales were slow in the first half of 2009 but things have changed. We see demand for new cars picking up,” he said.
