TOKYO, Nov 26, 2009 (Kyodo News International - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
MMTOF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Mitsubishi Corp. said Thursday they have jointly delivered four units of Mitsubishi Motors' new-generation electric vehicle i-MiEV to the principality of Monaco.

The i-MiEVs are being leased via a subsidiary of the trading house Mitsubishi. Monaco plans to promote electric vehicles through the use of the i-MiEVs by local community service organizations, including post offices.

The four units were delivered on the basis of an accord signed in March between Monaco and Mitsubishi Motors and two Mitsubishi group companies in Europe on fleet testing of the electric vehicles, they said.

The delivery ceremony was held Wednesday at the Prince's Palace in Monaco, with Prince Albert II and other people concerned attending.

Mitsubishi Motors began delivery of the electric vehicles mainly to corporate customers in Japan in July and plans to begin full-fledged global distribution in 2010.
