 When Mitsubishi announced the launch of its brand new “Triton Lite” vehicles, the company new they would be a success. In fact, they were so sure of it that they held a press conference.

The Triton Lite 2.5-liter manual and Triton 3.2-liter automatic are both pickup trucks that the company expects to be quite popular.

Aimed at making trucks that meet consumer desires, the vehicles offer two slightly different focuses with regards to the strengths of the vehicle. The Triton 3.2 , which is expected to sell 25 per month in Malaysia, is a powerful and stylish truck.

Among the more exciting figures were huge increases in sales of both the Galant series and the Lancer Evolution. This increase is weighed against sales figures recorded last year, so they represent increases in sales between the month of May 2007 and the month of May 2008.

Sales of the Galant series increased 7.9 percent from last May to this May. The Galant dates back to 1969 and it is currently assembled in Normal, Illinois. Now in its ninth generation, the Galant is a mid-sized, four-door sedan that runs on a four cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the Lancer Evolution sold 23.6% higher in May 2008 than it had in this month last year.

When it comes to success in either the business or personal arena, communication is key. That’s why Mitsubishi Motors North America has announced plans to consolidate their current field office infrastructure. Hiroshi Harunari, president and CEO of Mitsubishi, says that this new plan for centralization will strengthen the efficiency of the company by allowing it to adjust more easily in a changing marketplace. Harunari hopes that this new change will enhance communication between central offices and dealers, communication that will serve to help strengthen the company for now and the future.

The consolidation of the four current regional offices will result in two field operation zones, Eastern and Western. Bridgeport, New Jersey, will serve the Eastern zone and Irving, Texas, will serve the Western zone. California, however, will maintain a task force specially suited to the unique needs and car market conditions of the state. District managers from the current Southwest Region office in Orlando, Florida, and the Western Region Office in Cypress, California, will be reporting to the new restructured locations to increase efficiency. This means district managers will now be responsible for reporting to one of two offices rather than one of four, and field managers will have an increased ratio to dealers, which serves to improve local communication

For Mitsubishi enthusiasts, this change in infrastructure means several things. The realignment of the company’s infrastructure to better meet consumer needs means that your new or used car comes from a company that cares. So come to Ricart Automotive, and rest assured that your Mitsubishi purchase is made possible by a company that constantly strives to perform better.

Mitsubishi has been given much international attention lately as news spreads that the company has been developing and planning an innovative high-tech electric car. Known as the i-EV, the vehicle has been designed and fleet tested. Plans for a release in the UK are already underway, and speculators anticipate that the United States is next in line for the vehicle. Formerly, Mitsubishi was working on a prototype called the MiEV, and the i-EV is an improved version of that earlier model.

In an age of higher and higher standards with regards to technological and automotive efficiency, the Mitsubishi i-EV is cutting-edge. Further news of the vehicle’s development is highly anticipated in the domestic market. Highlights of the i-EV’s design and layout include increased passenger space (for friends, children, or extra storage space) as well as a highly-convenient charging system. The i-EV actually comes with two separate charging ports to accommodate different driving needs: one port connects to standard house or parking lot charging, and the other connects to a high-speed “Quick Charging System.” The former charges in just seven hours, while the latter will reach an 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes.

Ricart Automotive offers a wide range of Mitsubishi vehicles for drivers seeking to take advantage of Mitsubishi’s technological and automotive developments. Mitsubishi solidifies its place as an industry leader with forward-thinking design plans such as the i-EV.
