Mitsubishi Motors Corp. President Tetsuro Aikawa will step down as the Japanese automaker looks to regroup from its widening fuel economy testing scandal with the backing of Nissan Motor Co.
Aikawa, 62, and Executive Vice President Ryugo Nakao will leave their positions effective June 24, according to a statement Wednesday. Mitsubishi Motors used “desktop calculations†to determine the fuel economy of models including its Outlander plug-in hybrid SUV, the company said, adding to disclosures of wrongdoing involving four minicars and nine other models.
