Mitsubishi Motors is showing its i-MiEV CARGO electric van at the
41st Tokyo Motor Show. This is derived from the
i-MiEV electric car, which I
test drove in Canberra. It will be on sale in Japan from April 2010.
The CARGO looks a very useful vehicle for small deliveries on short runs in inner city areas. It looks far more useful than the passenger i-MiEV, which offered little envrionmental benifit over the much cheaper petrol powered petrol engine
Mitsubishi i small car it was based on.

Also on show will be the PX-MiEV hybrid petrol/electric "crossover" concept car. This appears to be Mitsubishi's answer to the
Toyota Kluger Hybrid. Such a vehicle makes no practical sense and hopefully this one will not go into production.
