Mechanical Engineering
[Introduction to Contents]
In the early days of Japanese automobiles, the development and manufacture of trucks mainly for military use were the main activities.
Truck manufacturers who promoted the shift to civilian demand after the World War II improved the design and production system by job shop type production and followed the path of evolution by consolidating into four manufacturers.
This track can be said to be the history of Japanese automobile technology development, which has a different aspect from that of passenger cars.
This book explains the track of Japanese trucks in the 20th century with many illustrations.
