MMPC announces production milestone, export plans

MITSUBISHI Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC) reaches another milestone as it rolls out its 200,000th L300 production unit. The iconic utility van has sold more than 190,000 units and is perceived to be the most trusted model in the country because of its dependable engine, durable quality and affordable price.

“This achievement is a reflection of the resiliency of MMPC. Despite the current challenges that we are facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are still geared to provide the market with quality vehicles and support Filipino livelihood through serving transportation and business needs. Also, aligned with the Philippine government’s effort to battle the spreading virus, MMPC has lent out several Mitsubishi L300 units to both local and national government for various outreach activities,” says Mutsuhiro Oshikiri, MMPC president and chief executive officer (CEO).

Operating for over 56 years, MMPC’s ability to surpass several economic challenges is a testament to its strength and adaptability.

“We are committed to further grow and expand the business of Mitsubishi Motors in the Philippines. We are in the process of finalizing our plans to export L300 to other ASEAN countries, which makes us the only automotive manufacturer in the Philippines to export vehicles. We will work even harder to enhance [the] MMPC plant’s competitiveness and quality [in order] that we can make L300 a trusted model in [the] Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations),” said Mistubishi Motors Corp. CEO Takao Kato.
