Original: Japan's 'Kei' trucks hitting U.S. roadsーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS
Japan's 'Kei' trucks, miniature utility vehicles built to strict size and engine limits, are increasingly appearing on American roads, according to NHK World-Japan. The small, affordable workhorses are prized by farmers, ranchers and off-road hobbyists, and are typically imported as off-road-use vehicles with restrictions on highway driving. Their rising popularity reflects growing US interest in compact, practical alternatives to full-size pickup trucks.
Why now: Interest is growing in cheap, compact Japanese mini trucks as an alternative to expensive full-size pickups in the US.
