| 22-07-2012 at 23:00: Normal Operations for Mitsubishi | |
|
Until recently, the Illinois plant had produced models designed specifically for the North American market, such as the Galant, Eclipse, Eclipse Spyder and the Endeavor. Now, with the commencement of production of ASX, the plant has become a strategic global production and export hub – producing the model for distribution in the North American market and for export to Russia, Central and South America, and the Middle East. Planned production capacity at the Illinois plant is approximately 50,000 units, and MMC is considering expanding it to 70,000 units in the future. As a global production and export hub, MMC plans to keep it running at appropriate production levels to meet requirements. “Mitsubishi Motors is now moving forward with ‘global’ vehicles that satisfy the needs of many consumers worldwide”, said MMC Managing Director Tetsuro Aikawa. “Through the diligence of every single worker at the Illinois plant, we plan to make great strides not only in the North American market, but in other markets outside of North America by producing and exporting the Outlander Sport (ASX). The continually-growing United States market is one of our most important markets, and this change to the plant marks our commitment to this market.” Outline of the MMNA Illinois Plant 1.LocationNormal, Illinois, USA2.Start of Production19883.Site Area2,570,000m24.Building Area190,000m25.Production ModelOutlander Sport6.Production Volume31,000 units (FY2011) |
