Mitsubishi Motors to Expand China Dealer Network 40%

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. plans to expand its dealer network in China 40% to 300 outlets by next April, The Nikkei reports.

The strategy will help push the brand farther inland and establish it in new regions. The company currently assembles its Outlander SUV in China and is testing a plug-in version of the vehicle there.

MMC hopes to increase its global sales 25% to 1.25 million units by early 2020. Asia currently contributes about 30% of the company’s sales, according to The Nikkei.
