Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors Corp will start selling its pickup trucks in Burma around January next year, it said on Monday, joining the rush by global carmakers to offer new vehicles in the Southeast Asian country’s nascent auto market. Mitsubishi Motors, which already has a shop in Rangoon that provides after service to used Mitsubishi cars, will import its pickup truck L200 from Thailand, the company said in a statement. Japan’s Nissan Motor Co, Suzuki Motor Corp and Mazda Motor Corp, as well as US carmakers Ford Motor Co and General Motors, are already selling or have expressed intentions to sell new vehicles in Burma.—Reuters
