Mitsubishi Motors is a major Japanese automotive manufacturer with a history dating back to the late 19th century as part of the Mitsubishi shipbuilding business. The famous 'three-diamond' logo represents the union of the Iwasaki family crest and the Tosa clan crest. Today, the brand is known for its sport-utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and its pioneering work in electric vehicle technology.

While rooted in Japan, Mitsubishi's manufacturing footprint is truly global. They operate major production facilities in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with additional assembly operations appearing in various other markets through joint ventures and local partnerships.

Starting in 2016, Mitsubishi Motors became a critical member of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance after Nissan acquired a 34% controlling stake in the company. This ownership structure allows for significant platform sharing and collaborative research between the three major global brands.
