DAPURPACUID – It cannot be denied that Mitsubishi Triton has become one of the successes for PT Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Sales Indonesia (MMKSI) in the light commercial vehicle segment.
Having existed since 2002 in Indonesia, this ‘worker’ pickup has been quite well received by the market, especially consumers who do business in the plantation, mining, oil and gas sectors.
In the 22-year period, Triton has recorded sales figures of up to 147,000 units, making this light commercial vehicle the largest population in the country.
This was also agreed by the General Manager of the Product Strategy Division of PT MMKSI, Guntur Harling, who said that Triton’s success was supported by three main pillars.
“Namely durability, offroad capability and ralliart. With the concept of reliable adventure products, there are four advantages, namely engine performance, offroad capability and engine,” Guntur explained.

He explained that previously this product had undergone a number of tests in various terrain conditions in Indonesia, such as Kalimantan to Sumatra.
For your information, besides Indonesia, Triton is also marketed in several countries in the world including Thailand. Each country also has different contours.
“Here (Indonesia) we usually use Triton in plantation areas, coal mines, oil and gas, much tougher conditions, and so far, there have been no major problems,” Mii explained some time ago.

MMKSI acknowledged that the Triton HDX type is the variant most in demand by customers, due to its toughness in facing various road conditions.
The Mitsubishi All New Triton carries the latest ladder frame with a chassis cross-sectional area of 65 percent, which makes its dimensions larger than the previous model.
