Daihatsu resumes shipments of Move Canbus, Rocky Hybrid, Toyota Raize Hybrid after green light from MLIT

Daihatsu has announced it has resumed shipments of Move Canbus, Rocky Hybrid and Toyota Raize Hybrid which were previously suspended by Japan’s ministry of land, infrastructure, transport and tourism (MLIT) due to non-compliance with standards set by regulators.

In a release, the carmaker said the MLIT confirmed the three aforementioned models met the standards of the country’s Road Transport Vehicle Act following witness testing. These cars were embroiled in the company’s safety test scandal that came to light in 2023.

At the time, investigations revealed the company had falsified safety test results for more than 30 years, with irregularities found in 64 models, including some that are discontinued.

On that mention, Daihatsu revealed in the same release that four models whose production has already ended have been confirmed to comply with regulatory standards. These include the Daihatsu Move Conte and Applause as well as the Toyota Pixis Space and iQ.

      Yes you are right. Jepunis cannot be trusted. With their current economic collapse and recession in Japan, they cannot afford to make good product today if they plan to sell at competitive price. No way. So what Japanese companies started doing is they start using very low quality material to keep price somewhat affordable. China on the other hand has unlimited access to raw materials from Russai, Africa, Middle east etc at lower cost. Now China is exporting DEFLATION while anjing America like the Jepunis are exporting INFLATION. Customer tak bodoh. Jepunis days are numbered. Sayonara
