Mitsubishi Motors delivers 635 Outlander PHEVs to Ukranian Police

The vehicle order stems from an emissions trading agreement signed by a number of Japanese companies with the Government of Ukraine. As part of its policy to reduce CO2 and greenhouse warming gases using the Kyoto Protocol Green Investment Scheme(2), the Ukrainian government will use the Outlander PHEVs as police vehicles.

This marks the second time MMC has supplied vehicles under the Green Investment Scheme, the first being to deliver 507 units of the i-MiEV all-electric model to the Government of Estonia that began in October 2011.

At the delivery ceremony, MMC President and chief executive Osamu Masuko said: “I would like to thank the Ukrainian government for evaluating our Outlander PHEV highly and deciding that it is the right option for the country’s police force. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is not only environmental-friendly but also contains our latest technologies such as our advanced 4 wheel drive system “Super All-Wheel Control”, which makes it highly suitable for police use.”

Since its launch in 2013, the Outlander PHEV has recorded cumulative sales of 80,768 units (as at the end of 2016), and has ranked the best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle in Europe for four years in a row.
