မာဇဒါ ဘြန္ဂိုေလးအေၾကာင္း တေစ့တေစာင္းေပါ့ဗ်ာ !
First Generation (1966-1975)
The MAZDA BONGO TRUCK went on sale in May 1966 as a new type vehicle. Its style consisted of the 2-door body with cab over type. Its design was made to be charming for a truck through such distinctive installations as a cute and attractive front mask.
The RR/SA water-cooling inline four-cylinder OHV gasoline engine for the MAZDA FAMILIA, with 782cc displacement and 37 horsepower, was vertically installed in the rear. Because of this enhanced power output, the model was able to achieve a maximum speed of 100km.
Minor changes made in April 1968 led to the engine being replaced by a 1,000cc engine with 48 horsepower. Furthermore, blinkers were newly installed on the side of the body.
Second Generation BA2 Series (1977-1983)
In September 1977, after two years of a blank period that started when sale of the first generation model ended, the second generation model went on sale. The RR drive system that had been its distinguishing feature up to this point was replaced by the FR; other changes were made to specialize the model toward business and commercial use. Small diameter double tires were used in the rear; as such, the wheel house no longer stuck out, leading to greater enhancements in loading capacity.
The same 2-door cab over body type was carried over.
The 1,272cc gasoline engine with 71 horsepower and the 1,600cc gasoline engine with 82 horsepower were newly made available. These were combined with the column-mounted shifter 4-speed transmission.
In October 1979, with an added aim to adhere to the 1979 gas emission regulations, the engine carried was changed from the 1,272cc with 71 horsepower to the 1,400cc with 76 horsepower.
In January 1981, minor changes were implemented, and the headlights were changed from the round double headlamps to rectangular double headlamps.
Third Generation (1983-1999)

The BONGO TRUCK underwent another full model change, leading to the introduction of the third generation model in September 1993. Certain features of the popular second generation model were carried over, but at the same time, greater improvements were made to increase riding comfort, such as a flush surface exterior and a higher quality instrument panel. The car body size was enlarged, measuring in length, width, and height at 3,995mm, 1,635-1,690mm, and 1,880 - 1,930 mm respectively, leading to an increase in functionality and loading capacity.
The engine lineup consisted of the 1,490cc gasoline engine with 67 horsepower, the 1,998cc diesel engine with 58 horsepower, and the 2,220cc diesel engine with 61 horsepower. These were combined with a 5-speed manual transmission; for some grades, the 4-speed automatic transmission was made available as an option.
Options for the drive system consisted of the FR and 4WD.
In September 1987, minor changes were implemented that led to an addition of the diesel engine + 4WD to the lineup.
Minor changes made in February 1990 led to the installment of front disk brakes to high-class grades.
In October 1996, further minor changes were implemented, leading to a significant change in the engine lineup. The option for a gasoline engine was consolidated into the 1,789cc engine with 76 horsepower, and the diesel engine option was also changed to the 2,184cc with 76 horsepower. Furthermore, the cheaper grade with the FR drive system was installed with front disk brakes, demonstrating efforts to improve safety features.
Fourth Generation SK82/SKF2 Model (1999-)

In June 1999, the fourth generation model was introduced. With this model change, the forward half of the chassis was improved with the aim to enhance collision safety; the base of the chassis itself was developed based on the third generation model. As for areas other than the car body, both the interior and exterior were reformed to create a completely new model. For the body type, the 4WD was made available for single-tire vehicles; additionally, the “Single Wide Low,” which boasts a low-floor deck, was also made available. In addition to these, the standard body with 2,470mm trunk length and the long body with 2,735mm body length were introduced. The maximum loading capacity is 850kg for the standard body and 1,000kg for the long body.
In terms of the interior as well, for the automatic vehicles, the column-mounted shifter was employed to secure greater foot space. Furthermore, storage shelves were installed in the instrument panel, and large-sized door pockets were utilized, further increasing storage capabilities.
The 1,789cc gasoline engine with 90 horsepower and the 2,184cc diesel engine with 79 horsepower are the two engine options available.
As for the drive system and transmission, the same options were carried over from the previous generation model; the 5-speed manual was combined with the FR or 4WD, and for certain grades, with the 4-speed automatic transmission.
In December 2003, the diesel engine was newly changed to the 1,998cc with 86 horsepower; at the same time, the gasoline engine's power output was enhanced to 95 horsepower. The newly developed inline four-cylinder 1,998cc common rail direct infusion turbocharged engine (RF-CDT model) with 86 horsepower saw great reductions in NOx gas emission. To achieve this, catalyst support type Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) are used. In terms of the reduction in NOx emission, this is realized due to the optimal controlling of the combustion temperature, as well as increased combustion efficiency through the common rail's high-pressure fuel injection. Consequently, the model was able to adhere to the 2003 Gas Emission Regulation's (new short-term regulation) Vehicle NOx/PM Law.
Furthermore, aside from the engine, greater improvements were made on other areas, such as safety features. All vehicles were equipped with driver's side seatbelts with pretensioners and road limiters.
Minor changes were made in August 2007, leading to the installment of power windows and power door locks to all vehicles as standard equipment.
In August 2010, the gasoline engine was changed to the 1,798cc with 102 horsepower, which saw improvements in power output and fuel efficiency. The fuel consumption varied according to the grade, ranging from 10.2km/L to 11.0km/L. In terms of the interior, a large-sized console box was installed in between the driver and passenger seats, further improving storage capabilities. Additionally, airbags were installed on passenger seats, further improving safety. Moreover, by increasing the height of the tailgate on all vehicles by 45mm, and due to the long trunk being utilized for single wide low vehicles, the maximum loading capacity was boosted by 50kg.
The diesel engine disappeared from the lineup.
