Industry Visit to Mitsubishi Motors & plant tour
On 2nd August, The JUACEP Summer Program 2012 participating students visited Mitsubishi Motors in Okazaki city. This tour was specially designed for the JUACEP by courtesy of Mitsubishi Motors. We were allowed to enter some special areas such as Research & Development Division and had the short lecture about Mitsubishi's technology. Then, we test drove the world's first electric car developed by Mitsubishi, i-MiEV!
