24 minutes ago
Mitsubishi Motors has admitted falsifying fuel economy test data for more than 600,000 vehicles.

The company said it has stopped making and selling the vehicles and had set up an independent panel to investigate.

The inaccurate tests involved 157,000 of its own brand light passenger cars and 468,000 vehicles produced for Nissan. The problem was uncovered after Nissan pointed out inconsistencies in emissions data. Mitsubishi then conducted an internal investigation and found that figures had been falsified.

In 2014 South Korean car makers Hyundai and its affiliate, Kia, agreed to pay $350m in US penalties for overstating their vehicles' fuel economy ratings. They also resolved claims from car owners.
