Meiwa Vehicle Industry, 1952-57
明和自動車工業
Meiwa Vehicle made a small three wheeled vehicle called the Akitu, or Akitsu ( アキツ号 ) which started life with a 670cc SV single cylinder 4 stroke engine. Later models had 900c and 1500cc engines. The Akutsu retained the handlebar steering and motorcycle style controls till the end of production, rather than having a steering wheel like other similar small utility vehicles of its time, which is why it is included here.
