Fact Sheet: DAIHATSU

The 1960’s were a time when the Japanese automobile industry had rapidly progressed and Daihatsu, having established itself as a maker of innovative compact cars in Japan, looked to Australia as a new market for its vehicles.

When Daihatsu sold its first passenger vehicle in Australia, it was the 4cylinder, 800cc model F30, known as the 'Berlina Compango' that first sparked interest in Daihatsu cars. The Compagno range comprised four models - a four door version, a station wagon, a utility and a sports model.

But before Daihatsu began selling cars in Australia, it was Daihatsu’s legendary Delta trucks that reached Australian shores first. The Delta series SV10 and SV15 trucks, known for their rugged design, reliability and their reputation for being hardworking, were introduced to Australia in January 1965.

They were followed by the DV26M model Delta, a small, mobile, yet sturdy 2.5 litre diesel concrete mixer which revolutionised the concept of small trucks in this country.

In 1967, Daihatsu Japan had entered a business partnership with Toyota Motor Co Ltd and Toyota Motor Sales Co. In July 2000 Toyota Australia announced the integration of Daihatsu Australia’s operations with Toyota Australia’s, to become a separate division of Toyota - a move designed to strengthen the famous Daihatsu brand while achieving considerable operational synergies.
