Tires on Mitsubishi (Митсубисхи)

The automotive brand Mitsubishi belongs to the eponymous Japanese company, one of the largest manufacturers of wheeled vehicles in the country. Since October 2016, the company has been part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, participating in a joint venture with 34% of its shares.

History of formation

The company has been in the automotive industry since 1917, when Mitsubishi Shipbuilding debuted in this industry with the Model A, which was the first mass-produced car in Japan. It was a 7-seat sedan that was assembled manually from a Fiat Tipo 3 kit. The production process proved to be more expensive than that of American and European competitors using the conveyor belt, which is why the Model A stopped production in 1921. During this time, only 22 copies were assembled. In 1934, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and Mitsubishi Aircraft, which produced aircraft engines, were merged to form the widely known Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a Japanese industrial giant. The series of military conflicts that began in the mid-1930s and the subsequent World War II interrupted car production, which resumed immediately after the war. The Fuso bus, the compact 3-wheeled Mizushima truck, and the Silver Pigeon scooter went into production. In 1950, the company was divided into three regional firms, each of which continued to produce automotive equipment, but collaborated with different foreign automakers. In particular, East Japan Heavy-Industries began producing a copy of the Henry J, an inexpensive sedan from the American Kaiser. In turn, Central Japan Heavy-Industries produced a copy of the Jeep CJ-38, the last instances of which rolled off the assembly line in 1998, 30 years after Wilys stopped producing this model.

Mitsubishi in the 60s

The final recovery of the brand after World War II began in the early 1960s. The company, divided into three parts, became a single entity in 1964. Over the past three years, its divisions have released iconic models for the brand - the 500 sedan, kei, and Colt, which became the basis for a whole line of compact cars that exist to this day. In 1969, the first generation of Galant appeared, which became the "locomotive" of the brand's sales for several decades to come and opened up the markets of Europe and North America. By this time, the famous logo with three red rhombuses was actively used. It was chosen by Iwasaki Yataro, the founder of Mitsubishi, because it resembled the emblem of the Tosa clan, which gave him his first job, and also because it looked like his own family crest, which features three rhombuses stacked on top of each other.

Model range

The financial troubles that the company had been experiencing for several decades and the various scandalous situations caused by them significantly changed the views on the formation of the product line. It consists of passenger cars, SUVs, pickups, crossovers, and minivans. However, each series of models is intended for the markets of certain countries and regions and is not represented anywhere else. In particular, the previously popular Lancer sedan is now only available in Taiwan, where it is assembled at the China Motor Corporation plant, along with the Colt in the station wagon body. The Eclipse Cross is presented all over the world, except for Southeast Asia. The latter is content with the more compact Xforce crossover, which is not available in Europe and North America. It is worth noting the still numerous line of kei cars of the brand, which are offered exclusively in the domestic Japanese market. All these cars need high-quality tires throughout their long life, which can be found in the "Mosavtoshina" store.
