TOKYO (Reuters): Japan s Mitsubishi Motors Corp sees hybrid models in Southeast Asia as a key part of its electrification strategy to stay competitive in the region, Chief Executive Takao Kato told Reuters in an interview.
While some Southeast Asian governments are trying to promote full battery electric vehicles (EVs) as a way to cut CO2 emissions, Kato said conventional gasoline-electric vehicles and plug-in electric hybrids were probably a more realistic choice for the region for now .
The Japanese automaker is expected to hold a ceremony in Thailand on Monday (Dec 21) to officially start local production of a plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander sport-utility vehicle (SUV).
