Mitsubishi to halt Outlander, ASX shipments to Europe, source says

Mitsubishi will stop shipments to Europe of key models including the Outlander plug-in hybrid SUV as early as September, a move that will badly hurt the automaker’s dealers in the region, a source told Automotive News Europe.

Mitsubishi announced last month it would wind down operations in Europe but didn’t give a time frame, saying only that it was “freezing the introduction of new products.”

Along with the Outlander, the company will stop shipping the ASX small SUV and Eclipse Cross compact SUV to Europe next month, said the source, who has close ties to the company, on the condition of anonymity.
