Tokyo, May 12, 2005 - (JCNN) - On May 11, Mitsubishi Motors (TSE: 7211) announced that it has developed an electronic vehicle (EV) test car that is powered by in-wheel motors and lithium ion batteries. Based on the company's next-generation EV concept MIEV (Mitsubishi In- wheel motor Electric Vehicle), the Colt EV test car is fitted with two in-wheel motors in the rear wheels and is driven by a floor- mounted lithium ion battery system.

The permanent magnetic synchronous motor generates an output of 20kW, and Mitsubishi is working on a new in-wheel motor capable of producing 50kW for 4WD vehicles.
