The first-generation Bongo Truck marked the beginning of what would become Korea’s “people’s truck.” Initially launched as both a truck and van, the lineup soon focused on the truck variant—quickly establishing itself as a leader in Korea’s light commercial vehicle segment. As a 1-ton truck, Bongo became a vital transport solution for small business owners and a familiar presence in the everyday lives of Koreans.
