Mitsubishi Motors Corp (MMC) said Tuesday that it has started local production and sales in Bangladesh of its new-model Pajero Sport SUV. The Pajero Sport is being produced at the Chittagong plant of Pragoti Industries Limited (PIL), MMC’s business partner in Bangladesh, and will be sold through PIL’s domestic sales network.
PIL is a state-owned automobile assembler operated by the Bangladesh Ministry of Industries and has had operational ties with MMC, assembling and selling MMC models in Bangladesh since 1977. PIL has produced and sold MMC’s previous-generation Pajero since 1995 and with the addition of the new-model Pajero Sport SUV is seeking to strengthen its lineup and expand sales further. Initially the company expects to produce and sell some 500 Pajero Sport models annually.
MMC first entered the Bangladesh market in the 1970s. In addition to its production and sales operations with PIL, the company also sells imported built-up Mitsubishi-brand models and has captured a large share of the country’s market for new passenger cars and SUV models. MMC intends to continue extending its presence in Bangladesh in various ways including the timely introduction of new models.
