Japanese
carmaker Mitsubishi Motors Corp plans to electrify 100% of its fleet
by 2035 through active introduction of hybrid and electric vehicles
(EV), the Yomiuri Shimbun daily said on Friday.
Mitsubishi
is a junior member of the partnership of French carmaker Renault SA
and Nissan Motor Co, which last month announced a deal to redesign
their alliance.
Mitsubishi had previously said it would
have 50% of its fleet electrified by 2030, a goal the Yomiuri said
would remain unchanged, with emphasis then being on pushing forward
with electrification over the next five years.
Mitsubishi
also plans on introducing EVs in Europe, it added, saying the company
would make an announcement about its plans soon.
The
company, which is scheduled to hold a news conference later on
Friday, declined to comment when asked about the report.
