The name "Daihatsu" is a combination of the first kanji (Japanese character) for Osaka (大) and the first of the word "engine manufacture" (発), put together they are pronounced "daihatsu".
The same was thought about Daihatsu's operations in Chile, where it's a well known brand for its '70s models as the Charade or Cuore, after sales of around 10 units in 2004 and 2005 (each year).
Daihatsu has supplied cars under different badges to many different automakers in the past, and also supplies engines and transmissions to Malaysia's #2 carmaker, Perodua, which sells cars in the UK and Malaysia.
Daihatsu vehicles are built to the highest, most exacting standards and have a well-deserved reputation for reliability.
