Mitsubishi Oz eyes i-MiEV minicab electric van

A TINY Mitsubishi all-electric delivery van is set to do for commercial vehicles what the pioneering i-MiEV city runabout did for passenger cars.

Revealed in Japan ahead of its showroom rollout there next month, the Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV is also a chance for Australia, where it would be aimed at the big-city delivery vehicle market from about 2013.

Although it is not confirmed for local launch, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd (MMAL) head of corporate communications Lenore Fletcher told GoAuto today that the Australian branch was interested in the little e-van, which would be up to 18 months away from Australian delivery.
