Company and logo
The company name (company) Daihatsu is derived from the place name Osaka ( 大阪 ), the company location , and the original company Hatsudōki Seizō KK ( 発 動機 製造 株式会社 , " Motorproduktion -AG"). The first Kanji of the place name Osaka and the company have put together the pronunciation "Daihatsu". The Japanese spelling of the company ( ダ イ ハ nicht) does not use the Kanji, but instead reproduces the company phonetically using Katakana .
The Daihatsu logo shows a stylized D in an ellipse .
history
Hatsudōki Seizō
The founding of Hatsudōki Seizō, which later became Daihatsu, dates back to 1907. The company's founders were professors at Osaka University , and the company's first president was Kurokawa Iyokuma. Originally the Hatsudōki Seizō dealt with the development and sale of gas engines . The company's first product was a 6- horsepower gas engine, which was completed in December 1907. In 1914 the company developed a 20 hp gas engine.
In 1919, the prototype was a truck for the military with a front engine and rear-wheel drive , which was specified as 2 tons.
Later Hatsudōki Seizō stopped the production of gas engines in favor of the diesel engine . In 1930 the company built its first vehicle, a three-wheel utility vehicle with a gasoline engine , under the designation Type HA . In April 1937, the Hatsudoki Seizo Company finally built the first four-wheeled vehicle, a small delivery van with the type designation FA . Also in 1937, the FRA produced a number of passenger cars with four wheels, a V2 engine as a front engine, 1200 cc displacement , all-wheel drive and a body as a roadster .
In 1939, Hatsudōki Seizō opened a plant in Ikeda , where vehicles are still made. The plant was severely damaged in the Second World War .
In May 1949, sales of a three-wheel utility vehicle with a 1000 cc two-stroke engine began . The company has been listed on the Osaka Stock Exchange since May 14, 1949, and on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since May 16, 1949 . The production in 1949 amounted to 7000 vehicles.
The first passenger car that Hatsudōki Seizō produced after the war was offered from 1951. Again, it was a three-wheeler, the Bee model with two cylinders and 1000 cm³. In December 1951, Hatsudōki Seizō was renamed Daihatsu Kōgyō. Production in 1951 was 12,000 vehicles.
Daihatsu Kōgyō
The Midget, manufactured from 1957 (see also autorickshaw ), was in production until 1972. In November 1958 Daihatsu presented a new four-wheel vehicle, the Vesta , with a four-stroke engine and 1000 cc. In 1958, 38,000 vehicles were built.
In November 1960, the Hijet was launched in Japan . In 1963 Daihatsu built a small utility vehicle called Compagno Van . This was followed in February 1964 by a small passenger car with the name Compagno Berlina . In 1964 170,000 vehicles were produced. Daihatsu began developing electric cars in 1965, and the first vehicle was completed a year later. In 1966, the P-3 prototype won the Japanese Grand Prix in its class. From November 1966 the small car Fellow was sold. Production was 187,000 vehicles in 1966.
In February 1967 a test track was completed in Shiga , and in November a cooperation agreement was signed with Toyota . The Daihatsu company logo was introduced in the same year. Production amounted to 236,000 vehicles in 1967. In 1968, with the P-5, another Daihatsu vehicle won the Grand Prix in its class. In 1970, Daihatsu supplied the Osaka World's Fair with 275 electric vehicles that were used as taxis there. The Fellow Max was available from April 1970 . In 1970, 327,000 vehicles were produced.
In the early 1970s, Daihatsu opened three new plants in Japan. In 1973 Daihatsu introduced the five-day week in all plants. From August 1974, the Taft , Daihatsu's first four-wheel drive vehicle , was sold with a 958 cc engine. In 1974 production was 328,000 vehicles.
The Hi BC electric tricycle was available from November 1975. In 1976 Daihatsu presented the Hijet 550 with a 550 cc engine and the Fellow Max 550 . The Charade was available from November 1977 and was named Car of the Year 1977 in Japan in January 1978 . Production in 1977 was 446,000 vehicles.
In June 1979, a branch responsible for Europe was opened in Brussels . In December of that year, Daihatsu's export center started operations with its own shipping facilities in the port of Kobe . In 1979, 546,000 vehicles were built. The Mira has been sold since 1980, and is available outside of Japan as Cuore . In 1981 a Charade won the Monte Carlo Rally in the class up to 1000 cm³, followed by a class win in the Safari Rally in April 1982 . In 1982 production was 603,000 vehicles.
In January 1984 the Charade De Tomaso began to be sold , which had been developed in Italy together with Nuova Innocenti . In December 1985, Daihatsu built the ten millionth vehicle. Production in 1985 amounted to 729,000 vehicles.
In 1986, when Daihatsu America, Inc. was founded, the company entered the American market, but the company withdrew from the United States in 1992 due to a lack of success . Also in 1986, Daihatsu set up a division for the construction of industrial engines. In December 1988 Daihatsu Deutschland GmbH was founded. In 1988, 834,000 vehicles were built.
In April 1993, a Charade again achieved a class win in the Safari Rally. The seven thousandth electric car was sold in November 1993, and the thousandth electrically powered Hijet Van in December of that year . Production in 1993 was 736,000 vehicles. In May 1995 the Mini Sway electric car came onto the market.
Toyota Group
Toyota has held the majority of shares in Daihatsu since September 1998. As a result, Daihatsu became a member of the Toyota Group. In November 1998 the twenty millionth vehicle was produced.
In 2002, Daihatsu was the first vehicle manufacturer in the world to develop a self- regenerating catalyst based on nanotechnology , which, through the regeneration of palladium, prevents a reduction in efficiency over the life of the vehicle and reduces the amount of precious metal required.
