Abstract
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has developed a new HEV, a hybrid electric vehicle fitted with special work equipment which incorporates all the advantages of the delivery version of the light-duty truck developed in 1995. The advantages offered by the light-duty truck include not only less fuel consumption and less emission performance but also less noise. This paper presents an overview of the technologies and performance of this HEV for use as a vehicle equipped with special work equipment.
