Mitsubishi Motors Europe (MME) is the European sales and distribution subsidiary of the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors. Their headquarters are based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and they have two production facilities, in Born, Netherlands (NedCar) and Turin, Italy. The European design studio Mitsubishi Design Europe (MDE) and the research and development center Mitsubishi R&D Europe (MRDE) are based at Trebur in Germany, while Mitsubishi Motors Motor Sports (MMSP), responsible for the company's record-breaking success in the Dakar Rally, work out of Pont-de-Vaux, France. The company oversees 2,500 dealers in 36 countries.[1]

Historically, MME has also been responsible for sales within Russia.[2] However, recent economic development in that country have driven annual sales from less than 50 in 1991 to 57,200 in 2006, with 70,000 anticipated for 2007.[3] It now represents the company's biggest market in Europe, and since 2006 Mitsubishi has treated Russia as a separate market.[4] In addition, Mitsubishi has been greatly successful in the Ukrainian market, being the top selling brand for four consecutive years to 2007.[2]
