ALL-ELECTRIC CAR MEETS AUSTRALIAN DESIGN RULES

摘要

Also in April, the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese MP, announced that the Mitsubishi i-MiEV ('Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle') had become the first electric vehicle to be certified as meeting the Australian Design Rules. This means that the car can be registered for use on Australian roads when it becomes available. Production has commenced in Japan and the vehicle is expected to be on sale in Australia in 2010, following its launch in Europe and the US.rnThe Minister said that Australia is one of the first countries in the world to give a factory built, all-electric vehicle approval to drive on city streets.
