-- Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today signed a deal with the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies to sell 9,400 square meters of its 299,000 square meter Powertrain Plant in the western Japan city of Kyoto.
MMC will hand the land over to the university during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.
Located in the northeastern corner of the plant, the land includes the No. 8 Shop, which was turned into a recreation area in March 2003 after a reevaluation of production capacity, and its surrounding areas. The university will use the land as a sports ground for its affiliated high school.
MMC's Kyoto Powertrain Plant employs 1,800 people and turns out gasoline and diesel engines for vehicles bound for some 150 countries.
