The Japanese are well-known for their tremendous contribution to the automobile industry. As early as the 1950s, wheels have already been roaming around the busy streets of Osaka and Tokyo when Daihatsu Cars first pioneered the car manufacturing era – being the oldest Japanese car manufacturer.
Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. focuses mainly on off-road vehicles and smaller models. A decade after their inception, they have already began shipping their products to Europe where their sales only got well enough during the 80s. But due to the strong currency power of yen in 2011, Daihatsu proclaimed the pull-out of their products in Europe by 2013.
