South Africa gets facelifted Triton as CBU from Thailand

Mitsubishi is changing its Triton one-tonners in South Africa by offering a facelifted model that is imported as a fully built-up unit and not assembled locally, as has been the case in the past.

The new pick-ups will take over from the Triton line that was introduced in 2007 - the year when it replaced the Colt that has been in SA since 1990.

The Colt helped to propel Mitsubishi's success with sales of over 20 000 units.

The latest Triton models are made at a plant in Thailand that exports to all major first world countries for Mitsubishi Motors. That same plant has already exported more than a million vehicles since 1988 when it became the first Thai motor vehicle exporter and has won several quality awards for the units produced there.

Mitsubishi Motors South Africa opted for an import route for the Triton because it offers greater flexibility in terms of product specification and better supply rates than when a product is locked into local production.

The new range has an updated grille, headlights and front bumper as well as a new-look step bumper at the rear and restyled alloy wheels on all models.

Special Inspection Recall Campaign for Mitsubishi Strada and Montero Sport [PH]

Special Inspection Recall Campaign for Mitsubishi Strada and Montero Sport (Philippines)

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) recently announced to the Department of Trade and Industry that it will have a special inspection recall of Mitsubishi Strada pick up models which were sold from September 2006 to June 2009 and for Mitsubishi Montero Sport 3.2 GLS and GLS SE 4x4 A/T models sold from September 2008 to February 2009.

The inspection procedure is estimated to take 2 hours at the most.

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service choose the L200 for Search and Rescue [UK]

MITSUBISHI SEALS URBAN FIRE AND RESCUE ROLE
~ Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service Choose The L200 For Their Specialist Requirements ~

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (BFRS) serves a population of over 707,000 people with an area stretching from the outskirts of London into the Midlands. Every year it receives over 21,000 calls for assistance, over 10,000 of which are for emergency incidents – that’s more than 27 emergency call-outs per day, every day.

L200s Called Into Service Within Hours
With the recent introduction of five Mitsubishi L200s to their fleet, the Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service (BFRS) has expanded its fleet to 170 vehicles – 115 cars and vans and 115 front-line vehicles including fire engines, Urban Search and Rescue lorries and special appliances such as turntable ladders and water carriers.

Jez Finden (Group Manager, Transport) commented that within hours of the two vehicles being registered with them they were out in action, helping with a number of incidents which occurred during a period of unusually heavy rain and flooding.

The L200 - A True Working Vehicle
Roy Harold (Area Manager, Property, Procurement & Transport) found that many vehicles in the same class as the L200 were aimed more at the leisure market than the demanding work environment: “we needed a vehicle that had AWD capability with a good ground clearance for use in adverse weather conditions such as snow and floods. Our Urban Search and Rescue teams have to cope with some of the most extreme and dangerous situations, so we needed vehicles that could go off-tarmac in a wide variety of emergency scenarios.”

Mitsubishi TMR Triton Concept [AU]

"New Mitsubishi TMR Triton Concept model"
Now on display at the Sydney Motor Show, 9th-19th October 2008

The design concept for the TMR Triton was to improve upon the great Triton base, by delivering
increased power, performance and handling, while remaining true to the toughness and dependability for which Triton is known. The TMR Triton is a concept vehicle which closely represents a production reality.

The 3.2L common rail turbo diesel engine in the Triton is well renowned for it’s high level of performance, but that didn’t stop TMR from improving on this excellent base. A TMR engine enhancement package has been applied to the Triton, meaning power has increased to an impressive 132kW @ 3,800rpm and torque to a phenomenal 450Nm @ 2,000rpm. These are increases of 12% and 31% respectively. Definitely more than enough to help get the tough jobs done or enjoy that long weekend away.

As the Triton is already a stylish recreational vehicle which stands out in a crowd, a few changes were all that were necessary to turn the TMR Triton into a real head turner. The addition of the sports head lamp kit along with the chrome upper and lower sports grilles has created a distinctive, tough yet sporty look. The finishing touch to the exterior package is the application of unique TMR Triton badging.

There is no point having all that power and torque if you can’t control it. Making a great handling vehicle is a job that the TMR team is used to. The first area addressed was the suspension, with Koni 8240 series shock absorbers fitted to the front and rear of the vehicle. The improved on road performance as a result of these suspension enhancements has not come at the expense of off road ability with standard vehicle ride height and ground clearances maintained.

The braking hardware has also been given a serious makeover to keep up with the newfound power. A specially developed front brake package has been fitted, consisting of large 4 piston calipers with 343mm x 29mm ventilated and slotted two piece discs with high performance Ferodo DS25HP brake pads. This enhancement, together with the original equipment ABS/EBD system ensures strong braking performance in all conditions.

To make the most of the improvements to power, handling and braking, and to enhance off road ability, a new set of wheels and tyres were selected. The stylish 18” x 8” Dakar alloy wheels neatly fit over the impressive front brake package. Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55R18 tyres with a symmetrical tread design delivers the all-terrain versatility needed on a vehicle like the TMR Triton. Excellent traction on every surface, reduced aquaplaning, top braking efficiency, the highest resistance to damage, and comfortable driving on sealed roads are all attributes of the Scorpion ATR’s.

The modern and luxurious interior has not escaped the upgrades. Quality stitched TMR logos have been added to the front and rear leather seats. Stainless steel scuff plates and full carpet mat set complete the TMR interior package.

The audio system has been improved with the addition of the highly functional Eclipse CD3200 Multi Source Sound System. This head unit has a powerful 50W x 4 internal amplifier along with USB input, integrated Bluetooth handsfree and full iPod control.

Combining the Tritons highly advanced Super Select 4WD system that allows operation in either 2WD, full time 4WD or 4WD high / low range and the expertly applied TMR upgrades results in a recreational vehicle that has exceptional on and off road performance and the ability to handle whatever challenges are faced.
