History of the company The headquarters of the company is located in the Japanese city of Osaka. It was here that the idea of creating a small enterprise was born, which has gained worldwide fame over time. How It All Began Daihatsu's existence began in 1907, when two Japanese professors Turumi and Yoshinki decided to set up their own business. Hatsudoki Seizo Co (as it was originally called) produced internal combustion engines based on natural gas. The equipment was intended for industrial needs.

 The beginning of the twentieth century was marked by the development of the automotive industry. Daihatsu, whose engine production was successful, could not stand aside. In 1919, the first truck was produced, and in 1930 the serial production of light three-wheeled vehicles began. The HA was the first Japanese-made car. Brand formation In 1951, the owners undertook a reorganization, during which the company was renamed Daihatsu Kogyo Co. In 1957, the management decided to start exporting products and it was right.
