The Akinori Nakanishi-styled Mitsubishi Triton, Thailand's most successful automotive export.

Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (MMTh) is the Thai operation of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. It became the first Thai automobile manufacturer to export vehicles overseas in 1988, and has remained the country's largest exporter every year since.[1]

It is currently the most productive of Mitsubishi's four manufacturing facilities outside Japan, with 133,109 vehicles in 2006, and exported its millionth pickup truck in October 2007.[2] In anticipation of a growth in the market for pickup trucks, Mitsubishi is investing ฿21 billion (¥1 billion) to increase local capacity to 200,000 units.[3]

The Lancer, Grandis and L200 Strada/Triton models are all produced locally.[4] In addition, MMTh owns a subsidiary, MMC Engine Co., Ltd. (MEC), located at Laemchabang Industrial Estates, Tambol Tongsukhla Amphor Srirancha Cholburi, which produces auto components.[5]
