Daihatsu

Daihatsu was formed in 1951 as successor organisation to Hatsudoki and, by the 1960s, had started exporting cars to Europe, although it did not enjoy any major sales success until well into the 1980s. Since February 1992 in North America, it has been common for Toyota to distribute Daihatsu models. On January 13, 2011 Daihatsu announced it will pull out of Europe in 2013.
