The 4th generation Mazda Bongo Platform is now getting popular among small business owners around bacolod and some jeepney operators are getting interested and while others are having interest on this platform..
The Bongo platform came out in 1999 in Japan and 2 years after in australia, a small number of this model are already running around the streets of Bacolod and many are getting impressed about this platform,
Today, there are 3 companies that produce and share components of the Bongo platform mainly:
Mazda- manufactured as the Bongo Truck and Bongo Van
Mitsubishi - manufactured and rebadged as the Delica truck and the Delica Biz van
Nissan- manufactured and rebadged as the Vanette truck SG21 and Vanette SG21 van
This trucks are of the same chassis, cab, bumper and designs and may come from Kyogo coach works in Japan which supplies the same designs originally to Mazda, but each manufacturer has included some unique features and different engines, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Mazda once offered 2.0 to 2.5L diesel engines, but as of 2009 they now only stick to a 1.8L gasoline engine (maybe due to regulations in japan) and Mitsubishi is offering 2 engine variants, A 2.5L CRDi diesel engine variant and a 1.8L gasoline engine variant
