Mitsubishi Motors Corp. says it will be ready by April 1 to launch all 31 measures it pledged last year to adopt to avoid falsifying fuel economy data in the future.
The company says 23 of the reforms are in place now. The remaining eight involve updating the company’s certification testing manual and retraining workers.
MMC admitted last April that it has falsified fuel economy ratings for 20 of its models for 25 years, in part by estimating data rather than collecting it through actual tests. The scandal followed two others a decade ago that involved cover-ups of safe defects.
