    Neither the fire truck nor the concrete truck are Kei class vehicles.

    They are small diesel trucks, yes, but Kei literally means ‘light’ and have strict weight limits on both the weight of the vehicle and how much load they can carry.

      Well, those are also not vehicles that the average citizen buys. In a certain way they follow the same design philosophy.

        That much is certainly true. It’s such a shame that small trucks are not available to buy new in the US.

      I will promise you that those two are not even close to the size of traditional versions you’ll see in Germany.
