A new concept will be revealed by Mitsubishi Motors at the Paris Motor Show with its all-new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV. The New Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV (or ‘PHEV’) will be the first mainstream car from a major manufacturer with built-in provisions for either internal combustion engine (ICE) or PHEV power. Featuring front electric motor + rear electric motor + front traction/generator petrol engine it translates into a choice of three driving modes: Pure (Twin Motor 4WD EV); Series (Twin Motor 4WD EV supported by generator) and Parallel (ICE engine supported by Twin Motor 4WD). It will allow a driving distance of over 800km and a CO2 target below 50g/km. It will be retailed in Europe during the course of 2013
