Mitsubishi may begin supplying PSA Peugeot Citroen with electric cars from next year.

Reports in Japan claim it may supply the French manufacturer with up to 10,000 i-MiEV plug-in electric vehicles per year, which PSA would sell under its own brands.

Mitsubishi officially announced last June it was considering collaborating with PSA on electric cars.

The UK's Mitsubishi network is due to begin retailing the i-MiEV later this year.
