Facing the last year of its mid-term business plan, Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) plans to exceed its targets by achieving JPY100 billion operating profit and JPY 50 billion net profit. The sales volume is expected to fall short of the mid-term target of 1.37 million units. MMC plans to boost sales to 1.169 million units in FY2013 mainly from the sales from ASEAN region to cover the loss of that of matured markets of Japan, Europe and the U.S. In FY 2012, approx. half of MMC's sales were achieved in "the Asia and other regions." MMC is promoting its global strategic models including the Thai-made Mirage. In Japan in June 2013, MMC has launched the eK Wagon, a new mini vehicle developed by MMC's and Nissan's joint venture, NMKV Co., Ltd,
