Jidōsha Kōgyō Co. Ltd. (English Automobile Industries Co. Ltd. ) was a manufacturer of automobiles from Japan .

Company history

The Tokyo company was founded in 1933 as a joint venture between Ishikawajima Jidōsha Seisakusho and Datsun , but without Datsun's car division. One source mentions the Datsun plant in Osaka in this regard . One source states that the company was founded to manufacture trucks for the civilian market.

It manufactured trucks , passenger cars, and military vehicles. The brand name was as it was in the times of Ishikawajima Sumida .

In 1937 there was a merger with the vehicle division of Tōkyō Gas . A source names Kyodo Kokusan KK as the third partner. The new company was either Tokyo Automobile Industry Co. Ltd. or Tokyo Automobile Industries Co. Ltd. In 1941 it was renamed Diesel Motor Industry Co. Ltd. and in Isuzu in 1949 . Another source states that the new company, Automotive Industries Co. Ltd. was called, while the plant in Hino operated as the Diesel Motor Industry Company . The plant in Hino was split off in 1942, resulting in Hino Jidōsha .

vehicles

The Model H was a four-door sedan with a resemblance to the LaSalle models of the time . The K-93 was a touring car with six wheels. The JC 4x4 was a staff car .

Another source describing Japanese vehicles confirms the period from 1933 to 1937 for some models. The H had an engine with 4398 cc capacity and 70 PS output. It was mounted in the front and drove the rear axle. The only body shape was a four-door sedan . It was launched in 1934 and discontinued in 1937. The J , which appeared in 1933, was similar, but had a Phaeton body with four doors. The K had six wheels, four of which were driven. Since the second rear axle took up space, the Phaeton only had two doors.

Another source says that despite the merger between 1937 and 1940, a few cars with the brand name Sumida were still built. Called Model JC , Model JD and Model K 10 .

The type 91 broad gauge railcars and type 93 armored cars were military vehicles.
