In May 1937 the company was renamed Nippon Kouku Kogyo Co., Ltd. founded. In July 1941, it merged with Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd. (founded in November 1939) to Nippon Kokusai Aircraft Co., Ltd. In February 1946 the name was changed to Nikkoku Kogyo Co., Ltd. , while operations expanded to include the manufacture of rail vehicles and automobile bodies. The first bus body is produced in November 1946. Three years later, the above two activities were merged into Shin Nikkoku Kogyo Co., Ltd. outsourced. The years 1941 and 1949 are regarded by Nissan Shatai as the founding years.
