Daihatsu Announces Renewed Opening of Museum Exhibiting Historical Materials

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. ("Daihatsu") announced the renewal opening on January 19 of its historical materials museum Humobility* World, which was originally opened in May 2007 as part of the activities to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of Daihatsu.

*Made from combining the words "human" and "mobility."

Humobility World is a distinctive building that sits adjacent to Daihatsu's Head Office.
