Odd thought RE: Kanji

Discussion in 'General Truck Info' started by Old Ironsights, Jan 3, 2016.

  1. Our Kei Trucks were never really made for export. Few, if any, of their parts are interchangable with Japan Inc Export vehicles.

    Yet almost every simgle ABS/Plastic part is moulded with English text and not Kanji. It looks like about the only thing NOT in English on my truck are the Data Plates and Export stickers...

    Isn't that rather odd for something ostensibly made exclusively for the Japan Market?

    Well, with the Kei finding homes in Japan, the Philippines, Australia, India, the UK (under the Bedford name) and so many places, it wouldn't surprise me that they've gone to English text to be more universal.

    My older kei is all kanji...thank goodness for Google Translate on the phone ;)
