Mitsubishi Motors releases new electric vehicle

TOKYO, Japan - Mitsubishi Motors Corp. unveils a test car of new electric vehicles featuring motors housed in wheels and long-lasting batteries at a press conference in Tokyo on May 11. The company said it aims to commercialize them by 2010. Unlike conventional electric vehicles, which have motors on the chassis, the Colt EV's in-wheel motors make it possible to regulate drive torque and braking force independently at each wheel without any transmission or other complex mechanical components, Mitsubishi Motors said.
