Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) led a 2-day event to promote EV and PHEV technology as next generation cars. This event is a joint project of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and MMPC together with the Philippine government, members of the academe, and Manila electric company Meralco.
“As a leading EV and PHEV manufacturer, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) together with Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) would like to accelerate the joint study project with the Philippine government, academe and Meralco on how vehicle electrification can reduce carbon emission in the country. We also believe that the involvement of the academe would play an important role in validating EV & PHEV technology which is designed to lower dependency on fossil fuels which is harmful to health and the environment.”
