Nissan Motor Co. and President Tetsuro Aikawa

fuel economy: The Mitsubishi Motors board formed a panel of three ex-prosecutors to investigate for about three months, according to The Japan Times. Until then, customers, investors and minicar partner Nissan Motor Co. may be left waiting for information about the number of affected models and details of compensation. The automaker has improperly tested the fuel economy of its cars for the past quarter century, widening the scope of misconduct that executives initially said dated back to 2002. I’m taking this as a case that could affect our company existence, President Tetsuro Aikawa told reporters during a news conference Tuesday. The deepening crisis is the worst since the automaker covered up defective axles that led wheels to detach in fatal accidents, prompting multiple bailouts from Mitsubishi group companies. My mission is to solve the issue. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
