Photo taken from Mitsubishi Motors ] Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation have completed the delivery of 70 electric vehicles to Russia, becoming the first and only company to supply the country with E.V.s. A total of 70 Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicles, or i-MiEV, were delivered to Russia’s Presidential Office through M.M.C. Rus – the country’s exclusive importer and distributor for the brand’s automobiles. The successful completion of the delivery is the very first time that Russia’s Presidential Office has purchased E.V.s, and it is also makes Mitsubishi the only Japanese brand that supplies vehicles to the Russian Presidential Office. The i-MiEV is a full-electric vehicle that uses less energy than other vehicles that use gasoline. It features an energy-saving “Eco” mode as well as a Regenerative Braking System. The recent purchase for the 70 E.V.s by the Russian Presidential Office is in line with M.M.C. Rus’ efforts to promote the zero-emission environmentally friendly nature of the E.V. in the country. The i-MiEV will not only be used by the Presidential Office, it is also planned to be used as means of transportation within the Konstantinovsky Palace, for accommodating the heads of participating countries and other officials during the G20 summit that will be held in St. Petersburg this September. Mitsubishi plans to take advantage of this opportunity to promote their E.V.s in the country.

However, the Prime Minister said his choice of vehicle would not please his friend, the broadcaster and notorious "petrolhead" Jeremy Clarkson - because it was one of the Japanese-made electric cars used to shuttle delegates around the G20 summit in St Petersburg, Russia. After getting used to being ferried by chauffeurs in the three years since becoming Premier in 2010, Mr Cameron joked he was pleased to find his driving skills remain intact and he did not cause any accidents. He said: "I think I will have upset my constituent Jeremy Clarkson by driving an electric car. "It was the first time I've driven on a road for three years, but there were no accidents, no car crashes. "It was the one outside my villa - sadly, not British-made, but a Mitsubishi. My press secretary can attest my driving skills remain."
