Mitsubishi Economic Impact Facts
Community
In mid-2019, Mitsubishi Motors North America moved its headquarters to Franklin, Tennessee. In April 2020, despite the pandemic, Mitsubishi showed its commitment to the Tennessee community by hiring more than 150 new team members.
Small Batch - Big Impact Programs
Throughout the pandemic, Mitsubishi supported its new hometown through employee volunteering and corporate social responsibility, “Small Batch – Big Impact” programs.
In an effort to continue fighting against the pandemic in 2021, Mitsubishi donated the use of a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) to Middle Tennessee-based nonprofit organization Charis Health Center for six months as part of MMNA’s Community Utility Vehicle (CUV) Program.

Q&A with Dan Holbrook, Vice President of Engineering at Mitsubishi Motors R&D of America
With the push for smarter and cleaner vehicles, the pressure is on to innovate quickly. Research and development (R&D) teams around the world are scrambling to translate consumer preferences and new regulations into safe, affordable production-ready technology.
For Mitsubishi’s US unit, that work is centered at Mitsubishi Motors R&D of America (MRDA) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The facility’s nearly 40 specialists are devoted to monitoring technology trends, conducting market validation tests, adapting global vehicle for the US market and maintaining regulatory compliance. Dan Holbrook, Vice President of Engineering, has been at MRDA for seven years and describes the team as “some of the most talented, resilient and flexible people” that he has ever worked with. That could prove pivotal as they face a particularly busy development period ahead.
