Mitsubishi Van Leasing and Mitsubishi Van Contract Hire

The Mitsubishi Group began life as a shipping firm created by the Japanese industrialist Iwasaki Yataro back in 1873. A loose conglomerate of different business ventures, Mitsubishi did not in fact launch its first motor vehicle until 1917 when the Model A was released.

It would take a further 52 years until Mitsubishi Motors was finally established as an independent company. Nowadays, Mitsubishi occupies sixth place in the Japanese automotive market, and 16th place in the global market as a whole.

Mitsubishis light commercial vehicle endeavours have been centred on pickup vehicles, specifically the Mitsubishi Warrior. This LCV has been in production since 1978 and has performed well in markets all over the world, albeit under different names.

Known variously as the Triton, the Mighty Max, the Storm, the Strada, the Magnum and the Colt; the Mitsubishi Warrior has been slowly expanding in global popularity since its first release back in the late seventies. The fourth generation of the Warrior was launched in 2005 and exported to an astounding 140 global markets.

Amongst the reasons for this global success is the trademark Mitsubishi look that is common to all the companys vehicles. That rough and ready exterior, with its rugged bodywork, is what gives potential buyers the confidence to invest in a Mitsubishi light commercial vehicle.
