The Japanese duo of
Nissan and
Mitsubishi Motors have agreed to expand the scope of their initial "core agreement"
signed in December 2010 and will do so by swapping the badges on two vehicles – the
Nissan Fuga and the
Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV – that are destined for sale only in
Japan.
For its part, Nissan will deliver Fugas to Mitsubishi Motors starting in the summer of 2012. In exchange, Nissan will get its own version of Mitsubishi's Minicab MiEV – a commercial mini electric workhorse with a 62- or 93-mile range and a base price of around two million yen ($26,212 U.S. at today's exchange rate) after government subsidies – to sell before the end of fiscal year 2012. Again, this is a Japan-only deal.
