Mitsubishi Motors extends losses on fuel-cheating scandal
Mitsubishi Motors shares nosedived for a third session today, tumbling as much as 16 percent after the Japanese automaker’s shock admission that it cheated on fuel-efficiency tests.
According to online report monitored by Business247, panic-selling on Wednesday and Thursday — when the government raided one of its research centres — had already sent the stock tumbling by a third, wiping about $2.5 billion off its market value.
At the break Friday, the firm was down 13.20 percent at 506 yen ($4.60), having crashed 16 percent at one point.
The rout marks Mitsubishi’s worst three-day decline since its 1988 listing, Bloomberg News reported.
The scandal came as German auto giant Volkswagen struggles to restore its badly dented reputation after revelations of emissions rigging.
On Wednesday, Mitsubishi admitted that unnamed employees rigged tests to make some of its cars seem more fuel-efficient than they were in reality.
The company said it would halt production and sales of the affected models — mini-cars sold in Japan including some made for rival Nissan — and warned that the number of cars involved in the scandal would likely rise, as it looks to vehicles sold overseas.
Mini-cars, or kei-cars, are small vehicles with 660cc gasoline engines that are hugely popular in the Japanese market, although they have found little success abroad.
“Certainly it is a blow,” Christopher Richter, a Tokyo-based auto analyst at brokerage CLSA, told AFP.
“The vast majority of (Mitsubishi’s) business in Japan has become selling mini-vehicles to Nissan because the market share of their own branded products after the scandal in the 2000s withered down to practically nothing.”
More than a decade ago, cash-strapped Mitsubishi teetered on the edge of bankruptcy after slumping sales caused by a series of defect cover-up scandals.
The latest case has raised questions about whether efforts to change the Mitsubishi’s corporate culture since the earlier spate of scandals had sunk in.
Experts have said the firm prized unwavering employee loyalty even more than many Japanese companies, and that may have been a key issue behind the rigged tests.
Japan’s transport minister Keiichi Ishii echoed those concerns Friday.
“I can’t help but have doubt about the company’s basic attitude towards compliance. This is extremely regrettable,” he told reporters Friday.
Ishii also said the government will review testing done by domestic automakers as it awaits the results of an internal probe by Mitsubishi, due next week.
The scandal has raised questions about Mitsubishi’s future, as it faces the prospect of huge lawsuits and fines.
But Richter at CLSA said it was unlikely a beaten-down Mitsubishi would be snapped up by one of its bigger rivals, such as Toyota or Nissan.
The automaker was born from the vast Mitsubishi group of companies, which are still loosely connected through cross-shareholdings and historical ties.
“In the past, consolidation has been talked about for Mitsubishi or streamlining the businesses, (but) there has been a lot of resistance from other companies within the Mitsubishi group,” Richter said.
“They have to be factored in any calculation about consolidation.”

Another thing I’ve really noticed is for many people, low credit score is the result of circumstances past their control. For example they may have already been saddled through an illness and because of this they have more bills for collections. It may be due to a work loss or inability to go to work. Sometimes separation and divorce can truly send the budget in an opposite direction. Thanks for sharing your notions on this website.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I admire the beneficial information and facts you provide in your posts. I will bookmark your blog and have my children examine up right here often. From: home interior decoration design ideas

Never Ever give up: Even though you fail initially; Dont manage to get a great deal of views at first, do your self a favour, do not give up.
I’ve learned some new things via your weblog. One other thing I would like to say is that often newer computer os’s often allow additional memory to use, but they also demand more memory space simply to work. If someone’s computer cannot handle extra memory and the newest program requires that memory increase, it can be the time to shop for a new Computer. Thanks
Any other information on this?
