Environmental Vision 2020
MMC formulated the Mitsubishi Motors Group Environmental
Vision 2020 in June 2009. MMC has encapsulated its vision for
electric vehicles in its environmental policy of “Leading the EV
Era, Towards a Sustainable Future.” On this basis, MMC aims to
work with its customers and communities to cultivate a clean
and prosperous low-carbon society. Furthermore, by 2020 MMC
aims to achieve a 20% or higher total production ratio of EVs.
Through efforts such as these, MMC aims to reduce on-road
CO2 emissions of new vehicles on a global weighted average
by 50% compared with fiscal 2005 levels. MMC also intends to

As part its steady efforts toward these goals, MMC for-

be achieved by 2015, this program targets a total production
ratio of EVs of 5% or more, and as a result of this increase in
EV production among other measures, MMC aims to achieve a
25% reduction in on-road CO2 emissions in comparison with
fiscal 2005 levels. In addition, MMC aims to reduce CO2 emis-
sions as a result of production on a per-vehicle basis by 15%
compared to fiscal 2005 levels.
Smart Grid Using Electric Vehicles
“M-tech Labo” Demonstration System
Working together with Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation, in April 2012 we completed construc-
tion on the “M-tech Labo” smart grid demonstration system
at our Nagoya Plant–Okazaki and commenced operation. The
system consists of a 20kW photovoltaic system, five electrically
dischargeable electric vehicles and used 80kWh rechargeable
batteries collected from electric vehicles.
