Frequently Asked Questions

Kei Mini Truck?
Why
can't mini trucks be used on public roadways?
These types of vehicles were not intended for use on roadways in the U.S. They are not in compliance with either U.S. DOT or EPA standards, and it is not lawful to operate mini-cabs on public roads or highways.
What
is Japan's vehicle Maintenance Policy?
Basically, all registered cars and trucks are required to go through bi-annual maintenance checks. Vehicles are inspected carefully and required work must be completed in order to renew registration. All vehicles in Japan are kept in excellent condition. If they fail to pass inspection the fees can be very costly. This is the reason these trucks are kept in such great condition.
