FACTS & FIGURES 2002

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation produces FACTS & FIGURES annually to assist
those in the press and media covering, and those engaged in research into and
analysis of, the automobile industry.
In response to suggestions and requests over the past year, FACTS & FIGURES
2002 has been revamped to provide additional numerical data and to make data
easier to find. With the emphasis on providing relevant numerical information,
FACTS & FIGURES 2002 presents data classified by region and by model
separately for MMC Car and for Truck & Bus operations over the last five years.
MMC hopes that FACTS & FIGURES 2002 will be of assistance and value.
Any suggestions as to how it may be improved will be welcomed.
