The vehicles are manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and will be sold through MMC Ukraine, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi and local distributor of MMC vehicles and spare parts, according to the automaker

The PHEVs are being purchased by the local police and delivery to the Ukrainian government is planned for around July 2017. Mitsubishi holds 60% of shares in MMC Ukraine while local partner NIKO holds the remaining 40%.

The Ukrainian government’s decision to replace a portion of its current fleet of police cars with the PHEV is to promote environmentally friendly policies. The PHEV’s environmental performance has been highly evaluated by the Ukrainian government, according to the automaker.
