Raid over cheating on mileage

TRANSPORT ministry officials raided the Tokyo headquarters of scandal-ridden Mitsubishi Motors Corp yesterday after the government alleged the automaker cheated on mileage ratings on more models than earlier reported.

The systematic inflating of mileage numbers first surfaced in April, over minicars, eK wagon and eK Space, that also were sold under the Nissan Motor Co brand.

This week, the government said it had found similar cheating on eight more models, including an electric car, for which Mitsubishi had overstated the cruise range on a single charge.

Ministry official Yuki Ebihara said the raid, the third over the mileage scandal, was part of a probe to find out how the cheating developed.
