    WORLD PREMIERE: MITSUBISHI CONCEPT PX-MiEV

    Powered by the new Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System, which significantly extends
    the frequency a hybrid vehicle is driven in EV mode, the Mitsubishi Concept-PX*
    MiEV† returns fuel economy in excess of 50 km/litre. The Mitsubishi Concept
    PX-MiEV is a new-generation concept car that balances high environmental
    performance with running performance by utilizing differential motors and
    Mitsubishi's all-new S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), that utilises E-AYC
    (Electric-powered Active Yaw Control) which transfers torque to the rear left
    and right wheels. Other features include Mitsubishi's cocochi-interior**, which
    provides occupants with a comfortable cabin environment, as well as many of the
    latest safety technologies.

    WORLD PREMIERE: i-MiEV CARGO

    Derived from the production i-MiEV, this concept maximises the outstanding
    environmental performance and economic efficiency characteristics that define
    the EV and at the same time adds a generous amount of rear free space to extend
    the range of uses to which it can be put by corporate users and self-employed
    operators in particular. The rear space features space-efficient cubic
    dimensions to allow the user to exercise their imagination fully in adapting it
    for whatever use he/she chooses. The result is a concept for an EV that meets
    user needs for a variety of situations: from business use, where maximum payload
    space is required, to leisure and other individual owner uses.

    1. Design

    Solid, Safe, and Simple were the keywords which drove the development of an
    exterior design suitable for a next-generation crossover that creates simple
    appearance from which all extraneous elements have been pared and that is free
    of the "rugged" elements typical in conventional SUVs. The headlamps and rear
    combination lamps use LED emitters that give the car an innovative and modern
    appearance as well as delivering better environmental performance with their
    reduced power consumption. The body uses a newly-developed metal colour that
    gives the car a metal shell-like appearance. Combining elements of both spoke
    and dish styling, the road wheel design highlights an unprecedented new look to
    the body as well improving brake cooling and aerodynamic performance.



    The interior was designed to give an image of an airplane cockpit to improve the
    driver's concentration, with an instrument panel that envelops the passengers
    and utilises seats that keep the passengers firmly in place. In addition, the
    entire instrument panel and door trim utilise soft LED lighting that express the
    vehicle's innovation and refinement.



    2. Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System

    The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV's front and rear wheels are powered by two
    permanent magnet synchronous motors and is also fitted with a 1.6L DOHC MIVEC
    gasoline engine which can power the front wheels as well as work as a generator.
    In addition, the vehicle comes with the newly-developed Mitsubishi Plug-in
    Hybrid System in which electronic circuitry automatically switches to the
    optimum drive mode for different driving conditions and remaining energy in the
    drive battery to extract maximum efficiency from the electric motors and from
    the gasoline engine. The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV also utilises the MiEV OS (MiEV
    Operating System) which selects the optimum drive mode through integrated
    control of the EV components and the gasoline engine as well as controls optimum
    electrical charge and output in response to remaining battery energy through
    constant monitoring of the drive battery. With these, a pleasing, safe, and
    comfortable ride is achieved while conserving energy. In addition, to maximise
    effective use of the drive battery, the vehicle is equipped with a power supply
    mode that allows the use of some battery power to supply domestic appliances or
    as an emergency power source in the event of a natural disaster.



    * EV mode



    At low to middle vehicle speeds the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV's drive battery
    powers the front motor using front-wheel drive. When driving on snow, in the
    rain or in other low surface friction situations where maximum vehicle stability
    is required, the system automatically switches to four-wheel drive mode by
    feeding power to the rear wheel motor as well when sensors detect any front
    wheel slip.



    * Series hybrid mode



    When the remaining energy in the drive battery falls to a predetermined level
    the system starts the gasoline engine to generate electricity and automatically
    switches to the series hybrid mode using the electricity generated to power the
    motors. In this mode as well, the system switches to four-wheel drive by driving
    the rear motor depending on driving conditions.



    * Parallel hybrid mode



    At higher vehicle speeds the car is supported by the gasoline engine which
    operates more efficiently than the electric motors at high revolutions. In this
    mode, the gasoline engine also helps drive the wheels. When the driver makes
    sudden lane changes or other manoeuvres requiring greater vehicle stability the
    system switches to four-wheel drive by bringing in the rear motor to drive the
    rear wheels, improving stability. In addition when overtaking at higher speeds
    or in other situations requiring faster acceleration the system switches in both
    front and rear motors to provide additional power and assist the gasoline
    engine, providing high acceleration.



    * Regenerative mode



    When the vehicle is slowing or coasting down a long descending slope the system
    switches to regenerative mode in which kinetic energy reclaimed from the wheels
    is stored in the drive battery.



    * Charging mode



    As with the production i-MiEV, Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV features a 3-way
    battery charging system using either a 100-volt or a 200-volt domestic supply or
    a high-power quick-charging station. The system also incorporates a Wireless
    Charging Program feature that allows the owner to start charging the battery or
    start the air conditioner at a preset time even when away from the vehicle.



    * Power supply mode



    As a way to maximise the usefulness of the power stored in the drive battery
    based on the "Smart Grid Framework," which garners attention as a link in
    tackling global warming, when not on the road the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV
    allows the owner to store electricity at night and then use that electricity via
    the normal charging connector to power home appliances during the daytime when
    domestic electricity consumption is highest. This allows the drive battery to be
    used as a power source in the event of a natural disaster. Should the
    electricity left in the battery fall below a predetermined level, the gasoline
    engine starts up and works as generator to maintain the power supply at a fixed
    level.



    A 100-volt AC auxiliary socket in the rear luggage compartment also allows the
    electricity stored in the drive battery to be used to power cooking or lighting
    equipment and other appliances when camping or engaged in other leisure
    activities.



    3. Drive system

    Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV uses Mitsubishi's S-AWC integrated vehicle handling
    control system which is configured around an E-4WD (Electronically-powered
    four-wheel drive) system that controls front and rear motor output to deliver
    the optimum front/rear drive torque split. Under the integrated control of the
    S-AWC system are E-AYC (Electric-powered Active Yaw Control), which controls
    left/right torque split at the rear wheels and the degree of deceleration energy
    recovery, ASC (Active Stability Control) and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
    components.



    Unlike the AYC system on the Lancer Evolution X which uses a wet multi-plate
    clutch arrangement, E-AYC uses a differential motor to control rear wheel torque
    split. The use of the differential motor makes for a high-efficiency system with
    outstanding response and contributes to the on-demand handling and outstanding
    vehicle stability that characterises the S-AWC system.



    4. cocochi-interior

    Some Mitsubishi Motors production cars already feature the cocochi-interior
    which embraces occupants in a pleasantly comfortable cabin environment developed
    to a "Clean, Stress-free and Safe & Reassuring" theme. For Mitsubishi Concept
    PX-MiEV the cocochi-interior brings a number of new features including: seat
    upholstery that deactivates allergens, breaks down VOC's (volatile organic
    compounds) and offensive odour molecules as well as killing bacteria; glass that
    shuts out UV-A radiation to protect skin from darkening and aging; and a
    negative-ion aroma humidifier and oxygen enricher that improve comfort and
    reduce fatigue. The original and the new cocochi-interior features provide a
    cabin atmosphere that enhances occupant comfort as well as contributing to safer
    operation of the vehicle.



    5. Cabin heat load reducing technologies

    The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV uses a windshield that uses heat-reflecting glass
    to reduce the amount of heat energy passing through and uses IR- (infrared ray)
    blocking glass in the door windows. The body paint also incorporates
    heat-reflective and insulation technology. Inside the vehicle the four seats are
    individually air conditioned and cabin humidity is regulated. The adoption of
    these heat load reducing technologies allows efficient climate control while
    reducing power consumption to the absolute minimum in making for a very
    comfortable occupant space.



    6. Latest active safety technologies

    The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV showcases several new active safety technologies.



    * The "New Multi-around Monitor" system uses cameras located at strategic points
    on the body to provide the driver with a combined image of the full perimeter of
    the vehicle. The combined image is displayed for the driver on a monitor from an
    overhead view for improved safety around the perimeter of the vehicle.

    * The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is equipped for the Driving Safety Support
    System (DSSS (Level II)) currently being promoted by the Japanese National
    Police Agency. In this advanced vehicle-infrastructure safety support system, an
    on-board receiver picks up signals transmitted by roadside optical beacons and
    the system urges the driver to take extra care when other vehicles or
    pedestrians have been detected by roadside sensors and cameras at intersections
    and pedestrian crossings.

    * Employing a system that uses wireless technology to ascertain the position of
    other vehicles and warn the driver when their proximity so requires, the
    Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV also supports the Advanced Safety Vehicle 4 (ASV4)
    project being promoted by the Road Transport Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of
    Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

    * The vehicle is also fitted with a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC*1)
    system, employing the road-to-vehicle communications capabilities used in
    Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) to determine the position of the vehicle and
    whether it is parked or not.



    *1 5.8 GHz band two-way wireless communication channels specifically designed
    for automotive use.



    7. Other features

    The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is fitted with electronically-controlled air
    suspension that gives the driver the choice of three ride height modes - Auto,
    High, Low - for improved stability over poor surfaces or at high speeds and for
    easier access to and from the vehicle.



    The concept also uses a new-generation steering wheel switch and control layout
    that offers outstanding usability and switch visibility for safer and less
    stressful driving. Some of the audio, navigation, and climate control switches
    are located on the steering wheel so that the driver can operate them without
    having to take a hand off the wheel. Switch operation indicators located in the
    instrument panel make it quicker and easier for the driver to visually check and
    control the switch positions.



    In the Driving Monitor System a camera mounted facing the driver monitors eye
    movements to determine their level of alertness. If the system detects a
    decrease in their concentration it issues not only audible but visual and
    vibrational warnings and also emits a distinctive fragrance to alert him/her to
    the situation.
