Now Mitsubishi admit falsifying Emissions | |
Quote:Mitsubishi Motors has admitted falsifying fuel economy test data for more than 600,000 vehicles.
Shares in the Japanese car maker closed down more than 15% after it made the announcement.
Mitsubishi, Japan's sixth-largest car maker, sold more than one million vehicles last year but has less than 1% of the UK market.
The company said it has stopped making and selling the vehicles and had set up an independent panel to investigate.
Company bosses, including Mitsubishi Motors president Tetsuro Aikawa, bowed deeply at the start of a media briefing in Tokyo.
He said the misconduct was reported to Japan's transportation ministry.
The inaccurate tests involved 157,000 of its own brand light passenger cars and 468,000 vehicles produced for Nissan.
The problem was uncovered after Nissan pointed out inconsistencies in emissions data. Mitsubishi then conducted an internal investigation and found that figures had been falsified.
