Mitsubishi Xpander customers won't have to wait much for deliveries. The production was scheduled to commence in October, but Mitsubishi will start manufacturing a month in advance, in September. Produced at the company's new Indonesian factory in Bekasi Prefecture, West Java Province, the Xpander will reach export markets next year.
