Commentary
The multi-purpose one box car was not a truck variant but developed specifically to meet the diversification of leisure activities and growing needs for the transportation of high-value added products.
The so-called “capsule body” consisted of curvy planes. Unlike the compact appearance, the interior was spacious since the step-up roof was higher in the rear than in the front.
The monocock body and the minimum turning radius of 4.8m made the car as maneuverable as a small passenger car.
It was exported to the U.K. and Australia and earned a high reputation.
Later, 4WD and FARGO trucks were added.
