its "real life" pioneering technology.
Reflecting on the vote, AUTOBEST Jury concluded: "i-MIEV is the
first production electric vehicle on sale in Japan and soon to be
sold in Europe. ECOBEST award founded by AUTOBEST Jury 10 years ago
was one the very first worldwide to prize the efforts in the green
field."

statements in this exciting sector coming from almost any
manufacturer. But - so far - Mitsubishi is the only one with a real
EV for any customer."
