The Mitsubishi Grandis is a large MPV built by Mitsubishi Motors to replace its Chariot / Space Wagon / Nimbus line. First released on May 14, 2003 and is sold in Japan, Asia, Europe, Oceania, Mexico, and South America.[1] In Thailand, where it is built locally, it is known as a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, keeping the local market name of its popular predecessor. The Grandis won the "Best MPV" award at the 26th Bangkok International Motor Show in 2005.[2]
The Grandis was also the basis for the Mitsubishi FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) concept, powered by a fuel cell technology developed by then controlling shareholder DaimlerChrysler. DCX's "FC System" uses a fuel cell stack to replenish an array of NiMH batteries from 117 L of compressed hydrogen storage.[3]
