For the sake of Xpander, Pajero Sport will have the status of CBU (again)

AutonetMagz.com – For more than a year, the Mitsubishi Krama Yudha Sales Indonesia (MMKSI) engine has marketed the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with the CKD system. Yes, locally badembled SUV Scale frame from Mitsubishi membatnya get additional features – features that did not exist before in the CBU variant. But it seems that in the near future, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will give up its CKD status and reapply the status of CBU. Not a case for a version facelift of this SUV, but because of the Mitsubishi Xpander. You know How to come We discuss Masri.

Quote CNN Indonesia, it turns out that the MMKSI wants to increase the production of Mitsubishi Xpander. And therefore, there must be victims of models that are also produced in Indonesia. Thus, production lines that were previously used to bademble "other cars" will be diverted to produce Mitsubishi Xpander. And the other "car" is the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. This measure was taken to boost the production of the Mitsubishi Xpander to meet domestic demand and exports. FYI, among the vendors we contacted, the waiting period for the pivot of Mitsubishi Xpander is still in the monthly number. It seems that Mitsubishi wants to reduce the number of pivots because their LMPV also has more than a year.

Putu Juli Ardika, director of the marine industry, transportation equipment and defense equipment of the Ministry of Industry, said that the import application of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport already existed and had been revealed by General manager Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Osamu Masuko during his visit to Jakarta last month. At the same time, Masuko-san said that Mitsubishi's Bekasi plant would increase its production output to 220,000 units a year starting in fiscal year 2020. For this reason, the fund of 4 billion yen was paid to MMKSI. Up to now, the production capacity of the Mitsubishi Xpander has reached 115,000 units per year and is expected to reach 160,000 units per year. Along with the increase, the export capacity of 30,000 people will increase to 50,000 units per year.

Well, but to increase the production capacity of the Bekasi factory, it certainly takes time. As long as production capacity has not increased, the MMKSI will modify Mitsubishi Pajero Sport's production line to produce Mitsubishi Xpander. The import license of the MMKSI for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport itself is not fixed, but temporary. Although the duration of imports alone does not exceed one year. However, there was no official statement indicating whether this permit was approved or not. Putu also added that while the CBU program would work, expansion and cooperation with Nissan were still in the process of deepening. The MMKSI itself is about to confirm it in the near future.

So what do you think?
