In response to last week’s article captioned “Delay in new Japanese vehicle imports”, United Motors Lanka PLC, the sole distributor for Mitsubishi vehicles, has clarified that none of its models is imported from India.
It said that in the wake of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the company has yet not received any indication from Mitsubishi Motor Corporation Japan of any delays in vehicle exports from Japan.
Assistant General Manager Marketing of United Motors Lanka PLC, Shalain de Silva observes that it is too early to predict any negative impact from the events in Japan, adding that he does not foresee any problems arising from the situation as the company always carries an adequate stock of vehicles.
Further he added that while company sales have increased in the last several months, the company does not expect this trend to change but rather anticipates a further increase in sales in the coming months with special offers introduced for senior government officials under the permit scheme.
