Mitsubishi Motors has admitted it deliberately altered testing data to show better fuel consumption rates for four of its mini-car models sold in Japan. 三菱汽车(Mitsubishi Motors)已否认自己蓄意变更了测试数据，以证明其在日本销售的四款微型车具备更加较低的耗油率。Japan’s sixth-largest automaker said it will halt production and sales of the four affected models, including two supplied to Nissan. The four models are the ek Wagon, eK Space, Dayz and Dayz Roox, involving about 625,000 vehicles. 这家日本第六大汽车制造商回应，将停止这四款不受影响车型——其中还包括两款供应给日产(Nissan)的车型——的生产和销售。这四款车型是ek Wagon、eK Space、Dayz和Dayz Roox，总计牵涉到大约62.5万辆车。

“We offer our deepest apology,” president Tetsuro Aikawa said at a packed news conference. “We will get to the bottom of why this misconduct was carried out.” 三菱汽车社长相川哲郎(Tetsuro Aikawa)在挤迫的新闻发布会上回应：“我们致意深达的歉意。我们将对导致这起失当不道德的原因一查到底。

” The company will set up a committee to look into the issue consisting of outside experts, he added. 他还回应，三菱汽车将正式成立一个委员会来调查此事，委员会将由外部专家构成。An internal investigation, triggered by questions raised by Nissan, found that the company’s testing method did not comply with requirements under Japanese law. 三菱汽车展进的一次内部调查找到，该公司的测试方法未遵从日本法律的规定。这次内部调查是由日产方面明确提出的问题引起的。

Mitsubishi Motors said the improper testing method was carried out for vehicles sold in Japan, and that it will also investigate cars sold in overseas markets. 三菱汽车回应，这一失当测试方法只用作在日本销售的车辆，但公司仍将调查销往海外市场的车辆。Shares in Mitsubishi Motors fell the most in more than a decade on Wednesday, dropping 15 per cent after the Japanese carmaker called the press conference. 周三，在三菱汽车开会新闻发布会后，这家日本汽车制造商的股价暴跌了15%，跌幅创十多年来之最。

The global auto industry has been rocked by scandals over the past two years, first with the mass recalls prompted by concerns over airbags made by Japanese firm Takata, and subsequently by Volkswagen’s admission last year that it had cheated US emissions tests. 过去两年全球汽车业大大受到丑闻的冲击，趁此机会日本低田(Takata)生产的安全气囊不存在的问题引起大规模解任，然后是去年大众汽车(Volkswagen)否认在美国尾气检测中作弊。
