Indonesia's Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha (MMKI) is preparing to expand its vehicle exports across ASEAN and Latin American markets, supported by increased production at its local assembly facility.

President Director of MMKI, Takahiro Kato, acknowledged that the company's production had increased in line with rising demand in the export market.

Kato stated that the increase in production was driven by the commencement of Mitsubishi Destinator production for the Indonesian market, as well as higher exports of the Mitsubishi Xpander.

He further added that the company is exploring opportunities to further increase vehicle export volumes. Exports have been made to multiple countries across the ASEAN region, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, and efforts are ongoing to expand these volumes.

The Mitsubishi Destinator is a 7-seater SUV and represents the third global strategic model to debut in Indonesia, following the Xpander crossover MPV and the XForce compact SUV.

The domestic component level (TKDN) of the Mitsubishi Destinator is targeted at 70 per cent following local production in completely knocked down (CKD) form at the MMKI assembly facility in Bekasi Regency, West Java. The factory has the capacity to serve both domestic and export markets.
