Suzuki Carry

While output remained 21 hp, the engine benefitted from Suzuki's patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system.

[citation needed] The new L30 Suzuki Carry (the "Suzulight" label was being retired) is a full cabover design, with the same FB engine mounted horizontally underneath the load area.

[6] A short-lived Carry Van version of the L30 ("L30V") was not introduced until March 1968, but offered four doors and a two-piece tailgate (top and bottom).

The L40's design was not overly utilitarian, limiting interior space and being a bit too modern for the usually very orthodox Japanese commercial customer base.

[6] As part of a minor facelift in April 1971, the Carry received a 27 PS (still at 6,000 rpm) version of the well-known FB engine, featuring Suzuki's Cylinder Crank Injection and Selmix lubrication system.

The new L60 series received a larger, 446-cc (also L60) version of the L50 two-cylinder, 29 PS (as opposed to 26 for export market 360-cc models), a stronger differential "to transmit the generous torque"[12] and sturdier springs meant load capacity increased to 550 kg (1,210 lb).

There was also an ST20K model available: the "K" refers to the "trucklike" nature of the vehicle in that it had three drop-sides as opposed to the utility version which had only a tailgate and formed sides.

[16] In October 1977, after about 187,000 had been built, the ST20 underwent a light facelift, with increased equipment and all versions (excepting the base truck) now featuring a front grille.

Well equipped, with metallic paint, reclining fabric-covered seats, and chrome bumpers, this was aimed squarely at use as a private car.

Suzuki Bolan was based on the ST90V version of the Carry (also known as Hi-Roof) with the three-cylinder F8B 796 cc fuel injected engine with output of 39 hp (29 kW) and 62Nm (46 lbf⋅ft) of torque.

[39] The Omni (E) has the following official specifications (2010):[40] The initial versions were so basic that the interior dashboard even lacked a fan blower opening as a standard.

The Omni was not able to meet India's updated safety and emission standards implemented the same month, which requires new vehicles to have a driver's airbag, antilock brakes, seatbelt reminders, speed warning beeps and rear parking sensors.

In Cape Town and Durban, many of these little vans are seen painted in bright yellow with green artwork and a chopped-off open rear end.

These are part of large fleets of privately owned public transport vehicles which fit between normal taxis and city buses.

The chassis codes became quite confusing, with DA/DB71 used for the F5A engined model (DB signifying four-wheel drive) and DA81 for the two-stroke truck which remained available until the Carry underwent a facelift in July 1986.

[48] The Super Carry continues in production in Vietnam for local markets, as a truck or panel van, with a Euro 2 emissions compliant engine.

The van was produced at the IBC Vehicles plant in Luton, England, adjacent to the main Vauxhall factory (GM's British-based passenger car marque).

The Damas (but not the Labo) received a facelift in July 2003, stretching the nose by 245 mm (9.6 in) to meet stricter safety regulations for passenger vehicles.

[57] In December 2013, production was again halted, as the Damas and Labo would not meet requirements for all motor vehicles produced after 2014 to have oxygen sensors installed.

A campaign by small business owners, stoking fear of a flood of Chinese imports replacing the domestic-made trucklets, pushed the government to create an exemption for the Damas and Labo, and production recommenced in August 2014.

[43] The 657 cc F6A engine remained from the previous generation, but an all-new bodywork was much smoother, originally with slim, small rectangular headlights.

The ninth-generation Carry received a very gentle facelift in September 1993, including a switch from front drum brakes to discs on all models.

It retained the F6A engine (albeit modernized) and was sold as the DA/DB52 T and V (Carry truck or Every van, "DB" signifying four-wheel drive).

At the end of 2007, Ford Lio Ho ceased to produce the Pronto because the engine couldn't be made to meet revised local environmental regulations.

In March 2005, the 1.5 engine was upgraded to fuel injection rather than the earlier carburettor due the implementation of the Euro 2 emission standard, the cylinder head was also updated from 8 to 16-valve.

Initially the truck was powered by Mitsubishi's carburetted 1343 cc 4G17 engine and puts out 78 PS (57 kW; 77 hp) at 6000 rpm.

[74] The last T120SS rolled off the production line at PT Krama Yudha Ratu Motor plant in Pulo Gadung, East Jakarta on 22 January 2019 without replacement like the Futura.

Starting in 2016, Maruti Suzuki has launched a small commercial truck called Super Carry in India, based on the Futura.

With Carry 1.3 badging (chassis DA32) Truck and Van versions of the Every Plus were sold in various right hand drive export markets, including the United Kingdom and Australia.

The front DRG of the Star was completely redesigned, but from the rest of the body panels, the relationship with the Suzuki Every Plus was still clearly visible.
