Inovev forecasts 15,000 units per year of the new Mitsubishi Express
- The Renault-Nissan group has unveiled the fourth derivate of the Renault Trafic light utility vehicle (LUV), the Mitsubishi Express (which takes the name of the Renault utility of the 90s based on the Supercinq) which differs from Renault Trafic, Nissan NV300 and Fiat Talento only by the grille and the brand logo. This is one consequence of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance reinforcement, as Mitsubishi is under the control of Nissan. It is to remind that these vehicles belong to the N1-2 category, or commonly named medium light utility vehicles.
- The Mitsubishi Express will not be marketed in Europe, as the carmaker has announced that it will be only sold in the Oceania region, mainly in Australia where several generations of Mitsubishi Express utilities have been sold for twenty years between the beginning of 80s and early 2000s.
- The Mitsubishi LUV will be produced at the Sandouvilleplant (France), which consequently will increase its production volume by several thousand vehicles per year, 15,000 units, according to Inovev. Given the low volumes expected, it is therefore logical that this model is produced in the same plant as the other models of the group.
- The engines equipped on the Mitsubishi Express are the same as for the Renault Trafic, namely the 1.6 DCI of 145 hp and the 2.0 DCI of 170 hp.
