TOKYO, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Following Japan's Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Industry representatives inspecting Mitsubishi Motors' headquarters on Friday, the automaker's head office along with a subsidiary have now been implicated in the embattled firm's falsification of fuel economy tests.
Following the inspection, it was found that a product development official based at the automaker's headquarters in Tokyo had green-lit the fabrication of fuel efficiency data, after being consulted by a manager working for one of the maker's subsidiaries based overseas.
