Mitsubishi Motors in April admitted to overstating the fuel
economy on four of its mini-vehicles, including two produced for
Nissan Motor Co <7201.T>, and has said its own investigations
suggest that improper mileage calculations were used for nine
other models.
The Asahi newspaper said Mitsubishi Motors falsified data for
three additional models. The Yomiuri newspaper said the
automaker made theoretical calculations for the mileage of more
than 10 additional models no longer on the market.
Mitsubishi Motors declined to comment on the reports, saying
that the investigation into the issue was ongoing.
The mileage scandal prompted the automaker to restate past
earnings, shake up management and sell a controlling stake to
Nissan Motor Co Ltd <7201.T>.
