At a media  conference recently, Takayuki Yatabe from the EV business promotion  department of Mitsubishi Motors noted that the limitations of depleting  fossil fuels and the progression of global warming caused in part by  green house gas emissions had prompted the corporation to actively seek  environmentally-friendly solutions to be integrated into its future  products. \u201cMitsubishi Motors has over 40 years of history with EV  research and development, going back to 1966. The prototypes we  developed at the time were not practical due to performance issues such  as insufficient energy storage and underpowered electric motors. \u201cNonetheless,  EVs are expected to be part of the countermeasure to oil dependency,  air pollution and global warming. Therefore, we continue to research and  develop EVs. \u201cAs far back as the early 1990s, we focused on the  development of battery technology such as lithium-ion which opened up  new advances in EV performance, proving its viability in practical use,\u201d  he noted. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theborneopost.com\/2012\/02\/27\/mitsubishi-motors-discloses-plans-for-electric-hybrid-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: Japan | Company: Mitsubishi Motors | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theborneopost.com\/2012\/02\/27\/mitsubishi-motors-discloses-plans-for-electric-hybrid-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\">Borneo Post<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Mitsubishi Motors), a major Japanese automaker, has announced its future plans for the development of electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid vehicles to address the ever-growing concern of the massive carbon footprint left by contemporary vehicles which depend on fossil fuels as energy sources.
