The word

The study will begin initiatives to introduce the i-MiEV to the Taiwanese market through the government's Electric Vehicle Project, which is overseen by the Ministry of Industry.

The i-MiEV is currently available in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, some European markets and will become available in the U.S., Monaco, Singapore, and others next year.

Coinciding with this introduction for Thailand, Mitsubishi also began work on a new factory in the country in Laem Chabang in the Chonburi province.

And so ...

Mitsubishi is moving ahead with the i-MiEV, despite a lot of momentum loss since its introduction a couple of years ago.
