Mitsubishi power

STICKING to the good track record by the Galant, Pajero and Lancer Evolution X over the decades, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) recently received 15 units of Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L contributed by PLUS Malaysia Berhad for the traffic law enforcement on the highway.

The handover ceremony was held at Persada PLUS in Subang Jaya recently. Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) was there to witness the handover.

The SUVs were to be used as Expressway Mobile Patrol Vehicle. Known as “Police Highway Eagle”, they will enhance the effectiveness in enforcing traffic laws during festive seasons, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.

There to witness the handover, MMM CEO Tomoyuki Shinnishi said: “Safety is the Mitsubishi Outlander’s strongest suit, befitting its role as a family vehicle.

“But now, we are delighted to know that besides being one of the best safety-specced vehicles on the road, the Outlander is meeting every requirement of PDRM to assist them with the enforcement of traffic laws on the highway.”

He elaborated, “With many years of winning experience in the gruelling Dakar Rally under its belt, Mitsubishi is also a specialist in rugged 4WD vehicles. So with the Outlander’s safety function, power and stability, we are confident that the Outlander will do its part in assisting our policemen to eradicate traffic offences and eventually lower the risk of road accidents.”

In a separate ceremony, PDRM also received eight Mitsubishi cars consisting of the Outlander 2.4L and the compact SUV, ASX, contributed by another highway concessionaire, ANIH Berhad. The total value of cars contributed by it and PLUS Malaysia Berhad is estimated to be RM3 million.
