Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors join forces
to offer financial services in Thailand
BANGKOK (25 July, 2017) – Nissan Leasing (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.’s subsidiary for leasing and sales finance in Thailand, and Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd. have joined forces to create Mitsu Leasing, a branded financial service for customers who wish to purchase Mitsubishi vehicles in Thailand.
Nissan Leasing (Thailand) will be responsible for providing wholesale and retail financial services and products for participating Mitsubishi dealerships across Thailand, under the newly provided services of Mitsu Leasing brand. The brand name comes from “Mitsu,” the name Thai consumers commonly use to refer to Mitsubishi Motors vehicles. Mitsu Leasing will begin providing financial services in the Thai market from this month.
“This is a significant development,” said Andrew Maeer, managing director at Nissan Leasing (Thailand). “Outside of our planned collaborations on technology development, common vehicle platforms and joint plant utilization, today’s announcement is one of the key milestones of our new alliance with Mitsubishi.”
The collaboration in Thailand follows Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors’ similar joint announcement on June 5 regarding providing financial services in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) President and CEO Morikazu Chokki welcomed the collaboration. “This will bring benefits to our participating Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) dealers and our customers through greater choice in competitive branded finance offerings,” Chokki said.
