It is a metaphor to outline Mitsubishi's concept of building a car with the "diamond" mentioned above. "Mitsubishi" originally meant three diamonds. This is the badge of the Iwasaki family, the founder of Mitsubishi Group. From three leaves centuries ago to three diamonds today.
1970, Mitsubishi Motors was reborn and rebuilt. Mitsubishi Automobile Industry Co., Ltd., jointly invested by Mitsubishi Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Chrysler Automobile Company of the United States, was formally established, and the diamond of Oriental Automobile Industry has since shined.
Mitsubishi's first passenger car was successfully mass-produced in the era of Mitsubishi Shipyard (19 17). This 35-horsepower, seven-seat Model-A is also the first production car in Japan. In the next 75 years of automobile manufacturing activities, Mitsubishi Motors' firm determination to pursue superior technology can be seen everywhere.
The first prototype of Mitsubishi freight car was successfully developed in 19 18, including two three-ton and two four-ton models.
The first Japanese diesel engine, Mitsubishi 450AD, was developed and put on the market in 193 1, and its direct injection engine established Mitsubishi's leading position in the commercial vehicle field.
1932, the first bus B46 was the largest (30 seats) and the most powerful (100 horsepower) in Japan at that time, which also marked the opening of Mitsubishi bus production line.
1934, the first four-wheel drive (4WD) Japanese car was completed, which is the Mitsubishi PX33 sports car (equipped with diesel engine) that attracted the world's attention.
1935 developed into the first BD46 passenger car with pre-combustion diesel engine in Japan.
1936, the first mass-produced TD45 diesel-powered truck came out.
1947, the first electric bus MB46 was developed.
1950, the first 130-horsepower, 76-seat, rear engine Fusang R 1 passenger car was mass-produced.
195 1 year, T380, an eight-ton freight car with revolutionary suspension system, came out. This typical design has a far-reaching impact on today's heavy truck series.
1960 completed the first Mitsubishi 500 RV, which met the aerodynamic design after wind tunnel test, and later derived the colt.
196 1 year, Mitsubishi 4DP diesel engine won the first prize of Japan Machinery Research Institute (JMAA) and was recognized as the best engine of its kind.
1962, the first automatic loader Mitsubishi was successfully developed.
1963, the first high-speed sightseeing bus, MAR820, went on the market, equipped with the world's most powerful turbocharged diesel engine (290 PS), with a speed of 134 kilometers per hour.
1965, the first colt 800 RV was put on the market.
1967, the eight-ton truck T8 10 with a top speed of15 kilometers per hour came out.
1975, with advanced technology, the silent shock-absorbing differential bridge was first created, and the reverse crankshaft was driven by two double-rotating differential bridges, ensuring smooth and quiet driving. Other competing automakers must apply to Mitsubishi for a license to use this technology.
/kloc-Galant, the first Japanese RV in 0/980, used the turbocharged diesel engine Astron 2300.
1982, a unique automobile factory in the world was established, and the whole production line was equipped with turbocharged engines. At that time, all turbocharged cars were assembled with Golt, Lancer, Galant, Sapporo and Starion.
1982 introduced the first Lancer equipped with Drion 1400 MD adjustable displacement engine.
1984, Mitsubishi galante won the reputation of "Das Goldene Lankard", the best car in West Germany.
1985, Pajero, named Jaguar, won the unmodified four-wheel drive production championship in the most dangerous Paris-Dhaka rally in the world.
1986, Pajero was selected as the best car of the year in Spain, and won the first-class 4×4 awards such as "4×4 Australia", "Bush drive" and "What Car" in Britain respectively.
1987, Mitsubishi invented the "carbon filter system at the inlet of oil cylinder", which can recycle evaporated fuel into the engine and won the blue environmental seal award.
1987 pioneered the ball rocker arm, which greatly improved the efficiency of the engine. The spherical rocker arm can reduce the energy consumption by 30% to 50% to control the car to stand by, thus reducing fuel consumption and improving power output.
1987, the first Mitsubishi galangtti16v dynamic-4 car equipped with permanent integrated 4WD, 4WS, 4ABS and four-wheel independent suspension system was put on the market, which attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
* * * * * 1999, Mitsubishi Galant was selected as the best imported car in the United States for the first time by the famous American Motor Trend magazine.
1990, the innovative electronic tracking and ground adhesion control system (TCL) equipped on Mitsubishi Sigma suddenly became a hot topic.
Mitsubishi Vortex Engine (MVV), the first in-line air-fuel ratio sensor, was successfully developed in 199 1 year. The engine can ensure the best air-fuel ratio at any speed, which not only reduces fuel consumption, but also plays an environmental protection role.
1992, Mitsubishi Pajero won the first, second and third place in the famous Paris-Cape Town Rally for the first time, which shocked the global car world.
