Mitsubishi to start building the Xpander in Vietnam by 2020

[Viet]

Will we soon get Mitsubishi Xpander units from Vietnam?

There's no doubt that the Xpander is one of Mitsubishi's best selling models today. In fact, the automaker even had to increase production at the lone Indonesia plant building it, to keep up with demand. They even plan to further expand the plant's capacity to produce the popular 7-seat model.

In order to supply more Xpander units in the region, Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) will start producing the Xpander in Vietnam by 2020.

Currently, Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam (MMV) already produces the Outlander in their local plant. However, they will be improving the production line as well as the plant's capacity to start production of the Xpander in the region. According to MMC, Xpander sales in the Southeast Asian region have been continuously increasing since production began in 2017. In Vietnam, approximately 14,000 units of the Xpander were sold in 2018 alone, doubling sales compared to the year prior. Furthermore, Xpander sales in the country continue to be strong this year.

“We will strive for this new effort here in Vietnam, which is to produce high quality cars and satisfy more customers in Vietnam. I am confident that this challenge will set our business in Vietnam with continuous growth while facilitating growth in the country's automotive market and regional economy in terms of employment, human resources development, investment, and technology transfer,” said Osamu Masuko, chairman of MMC.

Considering that Vietnam is a left-hand drive country, could there be a possibility that we will get future Xpander units from Vietnam instead of Indonesia (as they are right-hand drive)? With that in mind, it also raises the question of why MMC chose Vietnam rather than the Philippines. For those not in the know, Mitsubish Motors Philippines (MMP) currently builds the Mirage G4 and the (soon-to-return) L300 at its plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Mitsubishi plans to source all auto parts in Vietnam. 100% made-in-VN cars, no import parts. I am curious to see if it can happen.

Not happened at all

Mitsubishi Indonesia will provide the parts even the engines block, as currently only Mitsubishi Indonesia Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian PT, produce Xpander with capacity of over 10.000 cars per month. Vietnam will only assemble them if your demand only around 1000-2000 per month this to cater your left hand drive seat.

How about your Vincar sales? Any monthly sales data? Should had been out already, as this vital for Vincar future marketing strategy.

Does the article mentioned a single word about "auto parts in vn"??? Then you make up the shixt like "100% made-in-vn cars".... Shame on you...

 

[riscol]

Why do these Vietnamese always posting fake information? It's like propaganda move to make Vietnam look more important in the global economy. I saw how Viet was absurdly claiming Vietnamese 5g equipment and now made in Vietnam Japanese cars with Vietnamese made components. I have to ask this WHY all the boasting and fake stuff?

It’s Mitshu that says that not me. Certainly parts are made by JP parts manufacturers located in VN. That’s it what we want.
Monthly sales of Vinfast cars?
Not published yet. Too early. Vinfast wants all employees to buy bikes and cars. No foreign cars are allowed on company campus. I won’t be surprised if the government wants state employees to buy VF cars, soon the entire 100 million Vietnamese. We will see.
By the way, VF introduces two more electric bikes! Interested of buying?
A battery charge can bring to 70km.
No worry of battery!
The company sets up 5,000 battery changing stations nationwide by next year.

Have gone through the article again, not a single word stated about your "100% made in vn" shxt...
It is you that say that not Mitshu... (tag me if you find something shows Mitshu says they will make all the parts in vn, otherwise just shut up your joke mouth...)
It is just the CKD... Assembled in vn...Nothing new...
BTW, with less than 200 thousand cars sold in vn in a year, even your vinshxt take all the sales, it is still nothing... But I don't think your government is stupid as you, since vn is so much dependent on foreign investment...

Hehe.. No,thanks. We already have our own - GESITS, and it can run up to 100km distance on full charge.

And, while your 5000 charging stations await till next year to materialize, we already have 6000 stations operating as of now.

Why are you angry?
As chinese you should support Vietnam. People in the West think otherwise it’s only Japan that makes good cars! If Vietnam makes good cars, you can be proud of too.

Vietnam is communist, forgotten?
If the government says the people to buy domestic cars, do you think they say NO?
Here the link, Mitshu wants to source auto parts full scale production in Vietnam

Was a joke. I don’t expect anything. We will wait to death to get anything from big bro CN. No, neither West nor East. Our future lies inbetween so we don’t need to decide.

Mitsubishi is a bad car and is about to get worse with them adopting backwards Vietnamese components.
