daihatsu / DAIHATSU DELTA

daihatsu delta

Daihatsu Delta was started to be produced in 1970 and an interesting thing to note is that since then this name has been widely used on a number of Daihatsu trucks and vans. The one thing that is common in most of the trucks related to the Delta series is that they all utilized a cab over engine or mid-engine design. Most of the trucks had Toyota engines in them but some of the versions also had Daihatsu manufactured engines fitted in them.

An interesting thing to note here is that the Delta badge was retired in Japan in 2003, but continued to be used on models built locally in other markets until 2010. The first generation of the Delta lasted from 1970 to 1977 and Toyota Dyna is an example of that. Later on, Cargo vans and passenger vans were also introduced named Delta Wide Van/Wagon in November 1976 (B10 series).
