In 1917, the Mitsubishi was built. It was the time when the Mitsubishi Model A was released by the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. The vehicle was their first-ever automobile. Mitsubishi Aircraft Co. and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. merged and became known as the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The company is popular in building railroad vehicles, aircraft, ships, machinery. In 1937, MHI was able to develop PX33 - its prototype sedan for military utilization.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries started to manufacture cars again after World War II. Some of the first vehicles manufactured during that time were the Silver Pigeon, Mizushima, and Fuso bus. In 1950, MHI was divided into three regional companies: Central Japan Heavy Industries, East Japan Heavy Industries, and West Japan Heavy Industries.
The focus of each region was on the development of the motor vehicle. The three companies rejoined again in 1964 as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In 1970, the company was renamed Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.
