What is the difference between Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries?
2 Answers
Here are the differences between Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. 1. Production conditions: In terms of initial investment, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air Conditioning was established in 1994. In terms of investment and production scale, Mitsubishi Electric is stronger than Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Mitsubishi Electric's production facility is located in Pudong New District, Shanghai, while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. Mitsubishi Electric's labor costs are much higher than Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and this cost will be passed on to the product price. 2. Price: The prices of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric are comparable. Taking the electric motor MSH-FD12VC and the heavy industry ZB36H as examples: both products are 1.5P, with an energy efficiency rating of level 2, and the online reference prices are 3950 and 3840 respectively. It can be seen that the prices of the two brands are slightly different but generally comparable. 3. Design: In terms of appearance design, the difference between Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric is relatively large. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' appearance design has a noble and elegant quality, while Mitsubishi Electric focuses on giving people a luxurious and fashionable feeling. In terms of product performance, Mitsubishi Electric's products have beautiful lines, and the combination of colors and patterns is very appealing to the senses, highlighting Korean design style, while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is slightly inferior in this aspect.
As a technician who frequently repairs automotive electronic systems, I must explain that Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are distinctly differentiated in the professional field. Mitsubishi Electric primarily focuses on electronic and electrical components, such as automotive air conditioning compressors, alternators, or electronic control units—all driven by intricate circuitry, responsible for in-cabin comfort and power supply functions. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, on the other hand, leans toward mechanical engineering, including engine blocks, turbochargers, or chassis systems, involving large-scale casting and mechanical force transmission, directly impacting powertrain performance. When repairing vehicles, if the air conditioning fails or lights malfunction, we prioritize checking Mitsubishi Electric components for short circuits or aging; if the engine vibrates or produces abnormal noises, we then inspect Mitsubishi Heavy Industries parts for wear or oil leaks. Although both brands bear the Mitsubishi name, they operate separately, enabling more efficient R&D. Only when integrated into the vehicle do they function smoothly. Identifying the source of a malfunction saves significant repair time.
