Mitsubishi Motors Australia (MMAL) has published its 2025 Federal Election charter.

The charter outlines six policy considerations, including recommendations. 

MMAL believes that implementing these will help Australia achieve its climate goals, through a balanced and inclusive approach to meet the diverse needs of the country’s regions and industries:

  • Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs): A sustainable solution for Australia’s vast geography
  • Harmonising global standards: the importance of safety and affordability
  • Bi-directional charging: Powering homes, strengthening the grid
  • EV infrastructure development: A collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach
  • Consumer trust: Protect market integrity and data
  • Skilled workforce development: The engine of the energy transition

MMAL is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and a key contributor to Australia’s economy throughout this transition. 

“Recognising the importance of immediate climate action, we have embedded sustainability as one of our core strategic pillars — because we intend to be here for the long term,” the company says. 

“We believe in leveraging technological solutions to combat climate change and are deeply invested in developing innovative approaches to reduce vehicle emissions. 

“We are committed to ensuring that middle Australia — our core market — is not left behind during the energy transition, particularly in rural and regional areas,” it says.

MMAL says it is committed to engaging with all political parties before the 2025 election to discuss the priorities outlined in this charter. 

“Collaboration is key to achieving a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous future. Together, we can drive meaningful progress for our industry, communities, and shared environment, ensuring a practical and economically sustainable path toward the future,” the company says.
